Relocatable aluminum beamed fabric structures have been used for decades. Even
with millions of square feet of this and similar structures now in the world, the indus-
try as whole has maintained an excellent safety record. The industry and the avail-
able inventory continue’s to grow. However, these structures are engineered for
temporary use under the codes and may be frequently relocated, presenting safety
issues that are uniquely diff erent from more rigid permanent structures.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the structure has been purchased
and specifi ed in accordance with the local codes having jurisdiction over the site on
which the structure will be used. We suggest that code issues be dealt with early in
the planning stages so that conformity can be considered through all phases of site
preparations and structure installation, including proper anchoring for all weather
and soil conditions of the site.
HTS Structures is responsible only for the product kit of parts delivered to the cus-
tomer. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that a ground anchoring system is
used that meets the required code with the soil conditions present at the location.
The IFAI Procedural Handbook for the Safe Installation and Maintenance of Tentage
gives good additional advice on installations of tents and structures similar to the
HTS Structure.
The IFAI also provides a reference on the “Pullout Capacity of Tent Stakes that
should be consulted regarding temporary anchoring with tent stakes.
Though HTS Structures stands behind the quality of its product, structures that are
disassembled and reassembled should be inspected frequently for damaged or
missing parts that could jeopardize the safety of the re-installation. Fabric should be
stored in a cool, dry location to prevent mildew that could compromise its integrity.
Each installation should be supervised by a competent leader who is experienced
and familiar with the proper assembly of components and the installation process.
Proper installation procedures as outlined in this assembly manual should be fol-
lowed diligently for each installation of the structure. At all times, installers should
follow approved safety standards as it pertains to safety clothing such as hard hats,
steel toed shoes and the proper use of tools and power equipment.
The structure has been engineered to meet appropriate code requirements. How-
ever, weather conditions vary drastically within small geographic locations. Heavy
winds and microbursts can occur with almost pinpoint but unpredictable precision.
Therefore, the customer should always err on the side of safety and evacuate the
structure if there is any possibility that inclement weather could become a safety
concern.
When used properly and safely, your structure should provide many years of satis-
faction for your temporary shelter needs.
