Use a portable GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit 

•

Do not occupy the shelter during high winds,  

• 

tornadoes, or hurricanes.
Provide adequate ventilation if the structure is 

• 

enclosed.
Do not store hazardous materials in the shelter.

• 

Provide proper ingress and egress to prevent

WARNING:

 The individuals assembling this end 

panel kit are responsible for designing and furnishing 

all temporary bracing, shoring and support needed 

during the assembly process.  

 

For safety reasons, those who are not familiar with 

recognized construction methods and techniques 

must seek the help of a qualified contractor.

REQUIRED TOOLS

The following list identifies the main tools needed to  

assemble the end panel kit.

 Additional tools and supports 

may be needed depending on the structure, location, and  

application.

Tape measure or measuring device

• 

Fine point marker to mark the location on panels.

• 

Variable speed drill and impact driver (cordless with 

• 

extra batteries works best) 
Scissors or utility knife and tool to cut the 

• 

polycarbonate panels
Hammers, gloves and eye protection

• 

Ladders, work platforms, and other machinery for 

• 

lifting designed to work safely at the height of the 

building and end wall.

ATTENTION:

 Consult the services of a qualified, 

professional contractor if you are not familiar with the 

construction of similar frame structures.

SEALANT APPLICATION (OPTIONAL)

The application of sealant is left to the discretion of the 

owner/contractor. If used during panel installation, apply 

a sealant recommended for exterior use and that remains 

flexible when cured. To create a better seal, apply sealant 

between adjacent panels where the panels overlap each 

another. Sealant is not included with the building and must 

be supplied by the customer. 

Sealant

Rib Overlap

Corrugated Panel

Contact your sales representative to purchase sealant to 

seal the end panels during installation. 

NOTE:

 Many ClearSpan™ shelters and greenhouses can 

be designed to meet the snow and wind load requirements 

in your area. Contact your account manager for additional 

information if needed.

ATTACHING THE PANELS

When setting the panels in position, remember to install 

each panel with the UV-protected surface facing toward 

the outside. Read the information printed on each panel. 

The diagrams in the Quick Start section show frames 

with installed sidewall panels. View these before 

attaching the panels to determine the best way to align 

the end panels with the sidewall panels if your building 

is equipped with sidewall panels.
