INSTALL ANTI-BILLOW ROPES (continued)
SHELTER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance of the shelter is important.
Check the following items periodically to properly maintain
the 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 frame at anytime.
• Remove debris and objects that may accumulate on
the cover. 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 high tunnel 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.
4. Attach the remaining eyebolts using the diagram above
as a pattern guide.
5. Once all eyebolts are installed in the proper locations,
install the anti-billow rope
in short lengths along each
side
. Thread the free end of the rope through the end
rafter eyebolts and the eyebolts at two to three interior
rafters.
6. Cut the rope and tie one end to the eyebolt.
7. Pull the rope tight and tie the remaining end to secure.
8. Repeat the steps to install another section of anti-billow
rope. Continue this pattern until all ropes are tied along
one side and repeat the steps to install the anti-billow
ropes for the remaining side.
NOTE:
The number of individual ropes along any one
side depends on the length of the building and the
length of the rope sections.
9. Check the roll-up side operation.
10. Read the shelter care and maintenance information
that follows.
NOTE:
If the poly latch U-Channel was attached to
a ribbon board (as suggested), the eyebolt can be
mounted through the poly latch channel and ribbon
board to the inside of the rafter.
