Assembly Instructions
Shed House Style 12 x 12 x 8
on frame that comes in contact with cover. The tape
acts as a cushion to avoid rubbing damage to the cover
over years.
Unpack the Main Cover #MUC-5000 from the protective
plastic packaging. The line of grommets on the inside
(white) of the cover on the tie down Flap run parallel to
the sides of the frame assembly for positioning. Once
cover is oriented properly to the Frame Assembly, pull
Main Cover over frame assembly from the side, being
careful not to snag the cover on any member, bolt, or
other obstruction. Center the Main Cover over the
Frame Assembly with the Main Cover colored side
showing from the outside of the unit.
Step 2
. Loosen the 4 remaining turnbuckles completely.
Place the turnbuckles into outer hole in the foot of each
end arch. Tie off the rope coming out of the Main Cover
rope slot on either side to the turnbuckles. After
securing one end of the rope in the Main Cover, gently
pull the excess slack out of the rope and cover to
tighten. Hold the end of the unsecured rope and apply
pressure downward with a foot to remove excess.
Temporarily tie the end of the rope to the turnbuckle. Go
over the entire outer edge of the cover and adjust the
excess material around the end so it is not bunched up.
Spread excess material evenly along the outer edge.
Once cover is pulled tight and even, tie off the rope end
to the turnbuckle. All slack should be out of the rope at
this time. Repeat this step on both ends of the cover.
Tighten the turnbuckle to tighten the cover. This step
may need to be repeated to ensure a snug and centered
fit.

Step 3
. When the cover is completely aligned secure
the cover to the bottom tie-down cross rail using the rope
provided. Start at one end and tie off the rope to the
cross rail. Lace the rope through the grommets in the
cover and back under the tie-down cross rail. Repeat
this on the opposite side
Pay close attention to how tight the cover is put onto the
frame. It should be tight enough so it does not flap
around in the wind, but not so tight that it tears the
material cover. The fabric backed PE fabric of Rhino
Shelter units does not stretch. If you pull it so tight that
the fabric is stretched, a small amount of additional
stress from wind or contact can cause premature tears
and material failure. Only tighten cover enough to
remove valleys between arch assemblies. Do Not over
tighten.
Step 4.
Retighten the turnbuckles on both the cover and
end panels. Retighten the rope holding the main cover
to the bottom cross rail.
Both the cover and the end
panels should be checked and tightened on a
monthly basis.
DOOR HOLD UPS
All Rhino Shelter doors are manufactured with a pocket
on the bottom edge along the width axis. A ½” to 1”
plastic or metal tube can be inserted into the pocket and
trimmed to fit width. Weight will reduce door movement
in wind. Four(4) bungee straps are provided to retain
the door up. Roll the door from the bottom and secure
the door roll with a bungee through the upper door
grommet as shown.
