Congratulations! 

Congratulations on your purchase of a Shed Style 
Instant Shelter by MDM Products LLC.  With proper 
installation, use, and maintenance, your new unit will 
provide many years of good and suitable service.  Your 
new Rhino Shelter portable enclosure is a combination 
of excellent engineering and well thought out design.  
The unit is comprised of a rigid tubular frame, covered 
with a long life polyethylene cover and double access 
ends.   

The multiple part tubular frame assembly is pre-drilled

The fabric components are made from ASTM-5 
approved polyethylene materials.  The cover is also UV 
protected for continual exposure to the sunlight. 

It is suggested that you read the assembly instructions 
completely before you begin.  This will help attain the
