SHELTER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance of the shelter is important.
Check the following items periodically to properly maintain
the shelter:
• Check the ground posts and anchoring system (if
equipped) to see that all components are tight and in
good repair.
• Check connections and all fasteners to verify that they
remain tight.
• Verify that all connections and connectors are secure.
Tighten these if necessary.
• Check the cover material (if equipped) to verify that it is
in good repair.
• Do not climb or stand on the cold frame at anytime.
• Remove debris and objects that can accumulate on the
cold frame. 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.
• If the cold frame is moved, inspect all parts and
connections before reassembling.
• For replacement or missing parts, call 1-800-245-9881
for assistance.
NOTE:
Maintain an even length along the side. The
final stretching of the cover takes place when the last
side is secured.
9. After securing the first side, move to the remaining side
and secure it in place.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT REMOVE TOO MUCH OF THE
EXCESS COVER MATERIAL AT EACH END.
Some
excess main cover material–the material that extends
beyond the end rafters–should remain in place. If the
main cover needs stretched in the future, remove the
spring from the U-channel, grasp the excess material,
pull the cover tight, and reinstall the spring.
