ATTACH END PANEL ASSEMBLIES

Gather the Parts:
•  End Panel Assemblies
•  Fabric Clips (Divide quantity in half.)
•  Tek Screws
•  Measuring Tape
•  Scissors 

Assembly Procedure:
1.  While standing inside the shelter, start at the peak of 

the end rafter and pull the solid (plain) end panel over 

the top of the rafter so the material edge is on the 

inside of the rafter.

2.  Secure the solid end panel in place at the top center of 

end rafter with a fabric clip and Tek screw.

3.  Moving outward in both directions, space half of the 

fabric clips evenly on rafter.

4.  Secure each fabric clip to end rafter with a Tek screw 

(on side where it will not contact cover). 

 

NOTE:

 The end panels may be shipped as untrimmed 

rectangular pieces. If so, use scissors to trim the 

excess end panel material inside the shelter to an inch 

or two past the fabric clips as shown below.

PREPARE MAIN COVER

Gather the Parts:
•  Ratchet (1'' 4000lb) 
•  Pipe 1.315'' x 75'' Swaged
•  Pipe 1.315'' x 25.5'' Plain
•  Cover 
•  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.

The ends (front and back) are secured to the bottom of 

each end panel corner with a ratchet attached to the end 

panel conduit. The straps to secure the ends of the main 

cover come pre-installed.

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 conduit with a Tek screw 

in the bottom hole of the ratchet as shown below. The 

ratchet should be about 6'' in from the end of the  

conduit. Repeat this step in all four corners.

5.  Secure the zippered end panel in place using the 

remaining fabric clips with Tek screws as completed on 

the plain end panel.

2.  Assemble two main cover conduits. Start each conduit 

assembly with one plain 25.5'' pipe and add swaged 

pipes to arrive at the correct length. Secure each pipe 

joint with a Tek screw and wrap the joint with duct tape. 

 

These cover conduits are inserted into the pockets 

sewn into the main cover. The conduits are used to 

tighten and secure the main cover.
