Setup Instructions
This kit is a replacement cover for an existing ShelterLogic frame. Ensure your frame is fully assembled and securely anchored before installing the new cover.
Before You Begin:
- Verify you have the correct replacement kit for your ShelterLogic model. The kit fits models 62691, 62791, 62678, and frames from 62790, 62675, 62690, 62677, 62692, 62792.
- Inspect your existing frame for any damage or wear. Repair or replace damaged frame components as necessary.
- Gather at least two people for installation, as handling the cover can be challenging alone.
- Choose a calm day with minimal wind for installation.
Installation Steps:
- Remove Old Cover (if applicable): Carefully detach and remove the old cover components from your ShelterLogic frame.
- Unpack New Cover: Lay out the new main cover, door panels, and rear panel on a clean, flat surface near the frame.
- Install Main Cover:
- With assistance, carefully drape the main cover over the frame, ensuring it is centered and aligned with the peak.
- Adjust the cover until it hangs evenly on all sides.
- Secure the main cover to the frame using the provided ratchets or bungee cords, starting from the corners and working towards the center. Ensure a snug fit to prevent flapping in the wind.
- Install Rear Panel: Attach the solid rear panel to the designated end of the frame, securing it according to your frame's design (typically with bungees or straps).
- Install Front Door Panel: Attach the double-zipper front door panel to the front end of the frame. Ensure the zippers are functional and the panel is securely fastened.
- Final Adjustments: Double-check all connections and tension points. The cover should be taut but not over-stressed.

Operation
The ShelterLogic Replacement Cover Kit is designed for straightforward use once installed.
Accessing the Shelter:
- To open the front door, unzip both zippers completely.
- Use the quick bungee door fasteners to secure the rolled-up door panel in the open position, allowing for unobstructed entry and exit.
- To close, unfasten the bungee, unroll the door panel, and zip both zippers down to secure.
Ensure the door is properly closed and secured when not in use to protect contents from weather and unauthorized access.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your ShelterLogic Replacement Cover Kit.
Cleaning:
- Clean the cover periodically with mild soap and water.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the fabric and its UV coating.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry completely before closing the shelter for extended periods.
Inspection:
- Regularly inspect the cover for any signs of wear, tears, or damage, especially after severe weather.
- Check the tension of the cover and adjust ratchets or bungees as needed to maintain a snug fit.
- Ensure all frame connections are secure and free from rust or damage.
Snow and Ice Removal:
- In areas with heavy snowfall, regularly remove accumulated snow and ice from the cover to prevent structural damage and fabric stretching.
- Use a soft broom or brush from the inside to push snow off, avoiding sharp objects that could puncture the fabric.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your replacement cover.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cover appears loose or sags. | Insufficient tension; bungees or ratchets are loose. | Tighten all bungees and ratchets evenly. Ensure the cover is properly centered on the frame. |
| Water pooling on the roof. | Cover not taut enough; frame may be uneven. | Adjust cover tension. Verify the frame is level and properly assembled. Remove any accumulated water promptly. |
| Zippers are difficult to operate. | Dirt or debris in zipper teeth; lack of lubrication. | Clean zipper teeth with a small brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper. |
| Small tears or punctures in fabric. | Accidental damage; prolonged exposure to sharp objects. | Patch small tears with a compatible repair kit. For larger damage, consider replacing the affected panel or the entire cover. |
