SIDE AND FRONT PANEL INSTALLATION

Side panels are used to provide privacy and protection 

from wind and weather. These optional panels are attached 

to the sides of the frame in the same manner as the main 

cover is attached.

 

Contact Customer Service at 1-800-245-9881 if you want to 

order the optional side panels for your shelter. 

1.  Locate the ball tie-downs and select one side panel.
2.  Unfold the panel along the side of the frame where it 

will be installed. 

 

NOTE:

 Side panels are designed to fit the angle of the 

frame. Consult the photo below when installing the 

optional panels.

3.  Attach the panel to the frame using the ball tie downs. 

Refer to the main cover installation if needed. 

 

NOTE:

 The optional panels 

will not

 wrap around the 

frame piping. A space will remain between the edge of 

the panel and the shelter frame.

4.  Continue by installing the remaining optional panels.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Proper care and maintenance of the shelter will help to 

ensure years of service. The following items identify areas 

that should be periodically checked to ensure that your 

shelter is maintained properly:
•  Regularly check the roof covers to see that they remain 

tight and in proper repair.

•  Check connections and all fasteners to verify that they 

remain tight.

•  Do not climb or stand on the shelter at anytime.
•  Remove debris and objects that can accumulate on the 

shelter. Use tools that will not damage the cover when 

removing debris.

•  Remove snow to prevent excess accumulation. Use 

tools that will not damage the cover when removing 

snow.

•  Check the contents of the shelter to verify that nothing 

is touching the cover that could cause damage.

•  Check the anchoring system to ensure that all 

components are tight and in good repair.

•  If the shelter is moved, inspect all parts and 

connections before reassembling.

•  Never pack the covers when they are wet. Always dry 

them before you pack the shelter.

•  For replacement or missing parts, call 1-800-245-9881 

for assistance.

 

NOTE: 

With the exception of Truss Arch buildings, 

FarmTek® shelters and greenhouses 

do not

 have any 

tested loading criteria.

5.  After all panels are installed, read the shelter care and 

maintenance information that follows.
