Step 12 : Tighten roof cover on front and rear truss frames
Pull and stretch the cover enough only to take wrinkles out. Repeat for the
rear truss. Do not over stretch to rip off the grommets.
After the cover is placed and adjusted evenly across the grommet flap, go
back and re-adjust all ratchets along the side edges. At this point, the roof
cover should be pulled and stretched enough to take all wrinkles out. It is
required to repeat this step 2-3 weeks after the installation is completed and
the cover has stretched out over a certain time period on the frame.
After the Installation
Walk around and inspect the building periodically to make sure all components
are still firmly secured and the whole building is well supported. Check all bolts
and nuts as well as all connection points to make sure they are all in good
position. Check the base plates, adjust the ropes and tie downs if required and
clean the cover regularly.
Snow accumulating on the fabric cover must be removed as soon as possible. If
snow becomes solid ice on the cover, it will increase the weight on the roof and
collapses the building or reduce the life span eventually.
Keep the building on a dry ground most of the time. Do not keep the fabric dirt
skirt under water all the time, otherwise the fabric will deteriorate.
We strongly recommend you remove any snow from the roof immediately. Do not
leave any snow load on the roof overnight. Keep 3 feet of clearance on all sides at
all times. Do not allow snow to accumulate and pile up on the sides of the building.
Otherwise the push from the sides toward inside will make the building collapsed
at some point.
