Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance of your ClearSpan™ building helps to ensure years of service. The following
items identify areas that must be periodically checked to ensure that your building is maintained properly:
•
Regularly check the cover to see that it is tight and in proper repair. Tighten and adjust the tension as
needed to prevent damage and wear.
•
Check the cable turnbuckles and cable clamps to see that these remain tight. Tighten as needed.
•
Check the cable to verify that it is not worn or wearing on a frame member.
•
Check connections and all fasteners to verify that they remain tight.
•
Do not climb or stand on the building at anytime.
•
Remove debris and objects that can 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 that could cause damage.
•
Check the pony wall periodically to ensure that it is in good repair and that all rafter mounts are
secure.
•
Depending on the contents, construction of the shelter, shelter materials, and shelter location, the
potential for condensation exists. ClearSpan™ offers several items that can be used to alleviate a
condensation condition. Please contact a ClearSpan™ representative for additional information.
