Shelter shown above may be a different length than
this model.
2. Assemble two cover conduits. Start each conduit
assembly with one plain pipe and add 75" swaged
pipes to arrive at the correct length. Secure each
pipe joint with a Tek screw and wrap each joint using
customer-supplied duct tape.
Cover conduits are inserted into the pockets sewn into
the main cover. The conduits are used to tighten and
secure the main cover.
3. After assembling the cover conduits, locate the main
cover and unfold it on a clean, smooth surface near the
frame.
NOTE:
Unfold the main cover with the inside surface
facing up.
4. Locate the cover ends with strapping and align with the
front and back of the shelter.
5. Insert the cover conduits into the pockets of the main
cover.

Gather the parts:
• Ratchets
• Pipe 1.315" x 75" swaged
• Pipe 1.315" x XX.X" plain
• Cover and Tek screws
Assembly Procedure
The main cover is attached to one side of the shelter using
D-ring straps. It is stretched and secured to the remaining
side with straps and ratchets.
ATTENTION:
The diagrams used throughout most of this
manual show a shelter frame with a 4' rafter spacing. The
model with the 3' rafter spacing may include additional
rafters.
When installing the side ratchets, space the side ratchets
for the main cover evenly along the side regardless of
the rafter spacing.
Positions may vary between 3' and 4'
models.
The ends (front and back) are secured to the bottom
of each corner with a ratchet attached to the end rafter
conduit. The straps to secure the ends of the main cover
come pre-installed in the bonnet portion of the cover.
NOTE:
When handling the main cover and setting it in
position,
do not pull on the end straps
. They will pull out of
the cover.
WARNING:
To prevent damage to the cover and to
prevent serious personal injury, DO NOT attempt to
install the main cover on windy days.
1. Fasten a ratchet to the end rafter using a Tek screw as
shown below. The ratchet should be as low as possible
and still operate. Repeat this step for all remaining
corners.
