erly, measure from
iagonally from inside corner to inside corner. Adjust
frame as necessary to bring frame into square. Failure
to square frame of unit will result in poor cover fit
and reduced strength and rigidity. If end or interior
upright ends are placed on soft material that will not
support weight, recess small patio blocks or bricks under
leg ends. This will also allow better setting of frame
before securing to ground.
The MDM Barn style unit features Adjustable Base Legs
on all interior arch bottoms. By removing the carriage
bolt through the frame members, you can adjust the
interior arch ends up or down so that they sit square on
When all widths are adjusted prop
d
the ground. Adjust each leg before securing to ground
so that bottom cross rails are level.
ANCHORING FRAME TO GROUND
Once frame is square and properly supported, tighten
arriage bolts on all frame members, except c for End
Arch members to Cross Rails along base, side, and top.
Do not over tighten or oval tubing. After hardware is
tightened, insert plastic end plugs #14 (2 3/8”) & #15 (1
1/8”) into all open ends of frame members.
NOTE: Frame must be anchored before
installing any doors or cover.
Each Rhino Shelter 12x20x12 building comes with 14
EARTH CABLE ANCHORS with U-bolts and nuts
These versatile anchors allow the frame to be secured to
almost any surface. In addition you have also been
provided with a 36” Drive Rod used to drive the anchor
heads into the earth.
If the location where you are placing the building has
very hard ground or any
.
rock in it, pre-drill the holes
before inserting anchors. Hammer drills can be rented
at most home improvement or rent-all
centers. Hitting
e anchors into rock will cause the drive rod end to
mushroom inside the anchor head, and prevent the drive
rod from coming out of the hole.
Anchor placement should be made inside
th
the frame at
the interior corners of the unit, and midway along the
sides of the frames. Anchors secure the building to the
ground, as well as prevent spread of the frame over
time.
