ANCHORING INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to assembling this shelter, please read the anchoring
precautions and instructions included with the kit.
Anchoring instructions are included in the
MUST READ
document.
You must anchor the shelter after the frame is
assembled and before the cover is installed.
WARNING:
The anchor assembly is an integral part
of the shelter construction. Improper anchoring may
cause shelter instability and failure of the structure.
Failing to anchor the shelter properly
will void the
manufacturer’s warranty
and may cause serious injury
and damage.
LOCATION
Choosing the proper location is an important step before
you begin to assemble the structure.
The following suggestions and precautions will help you
determine whether your selected location is the best
location.
Never erect the structure under power lines.
•
Identify whether underground cables and pipes are
•
present
before
preparing the site or anchoring the
structure.
Location should be away from structures that could
•
cause snow to drift on or around the building.
Do not position the shelter where large loads such as
•
snow and ice, large tree branches, or other overhead
obstacles could fall.
SITE
After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site is
essential. The following site characteristics will help ensure
the integrity of the structure.
The support structure must be level to properly and
•
safely erect and anchor the frame.
If the site is not level, use footing to provide a secure
•
base for the structure. Pre-cast concrete blocks,
pressure-treated wood posts, or poured footings are all
acceptable when properly used.
Drainage: Water draining off the structure and from
•
areas surrounding the site should drain away from the
site to prevent damage to the site, the structure, and
contents of the structure.
WARNING:
The individuals assembling this structure
are responsible for designing and furnishing all
temporary bracing, shoring and support needed during
the assembly process. For safety reasons, those who
are not familiar with recognized construction methods
and techniques
must seek the help of a qualified
contractor.
