Anchors – during normal weather trends, the unit will
strain against the anchors under windy conditions.
Anchor hardware connection to frame members should
be maintained tight and depth of anchors should be
checked to be certain they remain deeply and firmly set.
Snow Accumulation – all snow accumulation on the main
cover should be removed as soon as practical. The
most damage from snow weight can occur the days
following a snowfall when the snow melts. Unit is not
designed for any amount of accumulated snow or ice.
Tap the main cover from the inside with a broom end to
knock off any accumulated snow.
Main Cover Lacing – the poly rope that secures the main
cover to the bottom rail of the frame assembly should be
checked, and adjusted as needed. The tension on the
main cover should be uniform from end to end and side
to side. Rope ends must be tied off onto the frame
members at the ends on each side.
Turnbuckle Adjustment – during normal wind conditions
and load, the doors and main cover adjustment points at
the turnbuckle should be checked and tightened as
necessary. The turnbuckles should be neither
completely extended nor taken up, so that turnbuckle
should be tight when in the mid range of overall
adjustment. If necessary, readjust rope tie off on
turnbuckle as needed to tighten or loosen as needed.
Cleaning – cover and doors can be cleaned with a
mixture of light detergent and water. A soft bristle brush
with the mixture can be used to loosen any hard dirt,
mold, or buildup on the cover. After cleansing, the cover
should be rinsed thoroughly to avoid any chemical
reaction from residual detergent. Allowing dirt and
debris to sit on cover over an extended time will damage
cover irreparably.
Severe Weather – in preparation for inclement weather,
completely secure the doors on both ends of your Rhino
Shelter garage. Allowing wind to enter either end lifts
the building and puts undue stress on the anchoring
system. This also shortens the life of the doors, zippers,
and main cover.
