Introduction

This instruction manual provides essential information for the proper assembly, use, and maintenance of your ShelterLogic 12'x12' Equine, Livestock, and Agricultural Shelter Enclosure Kit. This kit is designed to provide superior shade and protection for your livestock and horses. Please note that corral panels and the main shelter frame are not included with this enclosure kit and must be purchased separately.

Safety Information

Always ensure the shelter is properly installed and secured. Do not use in high winds or severe weather conditions. Follow all instructions provided for safe setup, use, and dismantling.

What's Included

Your ShelterLogic 12'x12' Equine, Livestock, and Agricultural Shelter Enclosure Kit includes the following components:

• 1 x End Panel
• 3 x Side Panels
• Lacing Rope
• Complete Hardware Kit
• Assembly Manual (this document)

Setup and Assembly

The enclosure kit is designed for easy installation, though two people are recommended for assembly. The panels are made from heavy-duty 7.5oz ripstop fabric, heat-sealed for water resistance, and UV-treated for durability.

1. Prepare the Site: Ensure your 12'x15' corral panels, gates, and fencing are already set up and secure. This enclosure kit is designed to fit universally with such structures.
2. Attach the Panels: Begin by positioning the end panel and side panels around your existing corral structure. The panels feature a lacing rope system for attachment.
3. Secure with Lacing Rope: Use the provided lacing rope to secure the panels to the corral frame. Thread the rope through the grommets on the panels and around the frame, ensuring a snug fit.
4. Utilize Ratchet-Tite Tensioning: The end panel includes Ratchet-Tite tensioning for a drum-tight cover. This ensures maximum protection and stability for the enclosure. Adjust the ratchet straps until the fabric is taut.
5. Complete Hardware Installation: Use the complete hardware kit to reinforce all connections, ensuring the panels are firmly attached to the corral structure.

Operating Instructions

Once properly assembled, your ShelterLogic Enclosure Kit provides a protected environment for your animals. The heavy-duty fabric offers superior shade and protection from the elements.

• Shade and Weather Protection: The enclosure panels are designed to block sun and rain, keeping your livestock comfortable.

• Secure Environment: The robust construction and secure attachment methods help create a safe and stable area for your animals.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your enclosure kit:

• Inspect Regularly: Periodically check all lacing ropes, ratchet straps, and hardware connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
• Clean Panels: Clean the fabric panels as needed with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the UV treatment or fabric.
• Monitor Weather Conditions: In anticipation of severe weather, such as high winds or heavy snow, consider temporarily removing the panels or reinforcing the structure to prevent damage.
• Check for Wear: Inspect the fabric for any signs of wear, tears, or degradation. Promptly repair any damage to maintain the integrity of the enclosure.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your enclosure kit, consider the following:

• Panels Not Fitting Tightly: Ensure all lacing ropes are properly threaded and tightened. Adjust the Ratchet-Tite tensioning on the end panel to achieve a drum-tight fit. Verify that the kit is installed on appropriately sized 12'x15' corral panels.
• Gaps Between Panels or Frame: Double-check all connection points and ensure the panels are correctly aligned. The lacing rope should minimize gaps when properly installed.
• Fabric Damage: Inspect panels for any tears or holes. Small damages can often be repaired with a fabric repair kit. For significant damage, replacement panels may be necessary.
• Difficulty During Assembly: Remember that two people are recommended for installation. Refer to the step-by-step instructions and the video guide for visual assistance.
