Clear the area of any close (6’) vegetation, debris, and obstacles. Use a level to ensure the ground is even. For best results, consider grading the site to facilitate water drainage. preventing water from pooling around your shelter’s base. Proper site preparation is essential for the stability and longevity of your metal shelter.

Frame Assembly

Assembling the frame is an important phase of the installation process. Begin by organizing all the pre-cut and pre-drilled metal components. Separate and lie relating components in their own pile. Lay out the base frame on your prepared foundation and ensure it is square and level. Using the provided hardware, connect the base frame pieces. securely. Secure by only using the four corner anchors and secure them slightly. Proceed to assemble the vertical supports, attaching them to the base frame. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions closely.

Anchoring the Shelter

Use all the anchors supplied with your kit. In most cases, there is a predrilled hole every 5’ in the bottom framework.

Roof Installation

Installing the roof correctly is vital for protecting the contents of your shelter. Start by positioning the roof trusses or beams according to the design specifications.

Pay special attention to sealing edges and joints to prevent water ingress.

Wall Installation

If your shelter design includes walls, install them next. Begin by attaching the lower panels to the frame, ensuring they are level and aligned. Secure each panel with the provided fasteners. For partial walls, install them to the desired height. leaving the upper portion open. For full walls, continue attaching panels up to the roofline. Check for proper alignment and secure each panel firmly. Install any necessary door frames, windows, or ventilation openings according to the design. Properly installed walls enhance the structural integrity and weather resistance of your shelter.
