YOU MUST READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE YOU  

BEGIN TO ASSEMBLE THE SHELTER

.

Thank you for purchasing this ClearSpan™ shelter. When 

properly assembled and maintained, this product will  

provide years of reliable service. These instructions include 

helpful hints and important information needed to safely 

assemble and properly maintain the shelter. Please read 

these instructions 

before

 you begin.

If you have any questions during the assembly, contact 

Customer Service for assistance.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•  Wear eye protection.
•  Wear head protection.
•  Wear gloves when handling metal tubes.
•  Use a portable GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) 

when working with power tools and cords.

•  Do not climb on the shelter or framing during or after  

construction.

•  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  

entrapment.

ANCHORING INSTRUCTIONS

Prior to assembling this shelter, please read the 

MUST 

READ

 document included with the shipment. 

WARNING:

 The anchor assembly is an integral part 

of the shelter construction. Improper anchoring may 

cause shelter instability and failure of the structure. 

Failing to anchor the shelter properly 

will void the 

manufacturer’s warranty

 and may cause serious injury 

and damage.

LOCATION

Choosing the proper location is an important step before 

you begin to assemble the structure.  

The following suggestions and precautions will help you  

determine whether your selected location is the best  

location. 
•  Never erect the structure under power lines.
•  Identify whether underground cables and pipes are  

present 

before

 preparing the site or anchoring the    

structure.

•  Location should be away from structures that could  

cause snow to drift on or around the building.

•  Do not position the shelter where large loads such as 

snow and ice, large tree branches, or other overhead 

obstacles could fall.

SITE

After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site is 

essential. Follow the information below.
• 

A level site is required

. The site must be level to  

properly and safely erect and anchor the structure.

•  For sites that are not concrete or gravel, placing wood  

blocks or other suitable supports under each rafter leg 

helps prevent the pipes from sinking or working into the 

site.

•  Drainage: Water draining off the structure and from  

areas surrounding the site should drain away from the  

site to prevent damage to the site, the structure, and  

contents of the structure.

WARNING:

 The individuals assembling this structure 

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.
