Some of the safety and usage measures you may wish to consider include: 
 
-snow load ratings vary by geographical location. If heavy or wet snowfall occurs, it is advisable to sweep the 
snow off the roof(s).  
-if the product is elevated, any structural and building code requirements are solely the customer's  
responsibility, and should be abided by.  
-in high or gusty wind conditions it is advisable to keep the structure securely grounded.  
-have a regular maintenance plan to ensure screws, doors, windows and parts are tight.
