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
for assistance.
NOTE:
With the exception of Truss Arch buildings,
ClearSpan™ shelters and greenhouses do not have any
tested loading criteria.
