SHELTER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance of your shelter is important.
Check the following items periodically to properly maintain
your shelter:
Regularly check the main cover and panels (if
•
equipped) to see that these remain tight and in proper
repair.
Check connections and all fasteners to verify that they
•
remain tight.
Do not climb or stand on the shelter at anytime.
•
Remove debris and objects that may accumulate on
•
the shelter. Use tools that will not damage the cover
when removing debris.
Remove snow to prevent excess accumulation. Use
•
tools that will not damage the cover when removing
snow.
Check the contents of the shelter to verify that
•
nothing is touching the cover or the side panels that
could cause damage.
Check the anchoring system to ensure that all
•
components are tight and in good repair.
If the shelter is moved, inspect all parts and
•
connections before reassembling.
For replacement or missing parts, call 1-800-245-9881

With the exception of Truss Arch buildings,
