- Assemble Roof Frame: Connect straight poles (3) with curved poles (K) and T-connectors (L) to form the roof arches. Use the peak connector (P) at the top.
- Connect Horizontal Bars: Attach horizontal poles (2) between the assembled roof arches to create the main roof structure.
- Attach Vertical Legs: Insert vertical poles (1) into the base of the roof arches. Secure the base plates (E) to the bottom of the vertical poles.
- Drape Main Cover: Carefully drape the main cover (Q) over the assembled frame, ensuring it is centered and aligned.
- Secure Side Bars: Attach side bars (4) to the vertical poles using clamps (H) and screws (gg) to tension the cover.
- Attach End Panels: Install the end panels (N) at both ends of the frame. Use elastic ball straps (R) to secure the cover to the frame.
- Install Ratchet Straps: Attach the ratchet straps (M) to the designated points on the cover and frame to provide additional tension and stability.
- Ground Anchoring: Use the provided expansion screws (aa) for cement floors or 7-shaped ground nails (aa) for grass to firmly anchor the shelter to the ground.
5. Operation
- Roll-up Zipper Doors: The shelter features two roll-up zipper doors at the front and back. These doors can be fully opened and rolled up, then secured with buckles for easy entry, exit, and improved visibility.
- Ventilation: Each door is equipped with a double-layer vent. These vents facilitate airflow, prevent moisture buildup, and reduce condensation caused by temperature differences or rain.
- Multipurpose Use: This portable storage shelter is suitable for storing motorcycles, ATVs, bicycles, small cars, gardening tools, firewood, and other outdoor equipment.
