IMPORTANT - READ MANUAL FIRST
Improper site preparation, assembly, and maintenance may invalidate the warranty and cause unnecessary and costly mistakes. For questions, contact your local dealer.
Each component is identified with a part code in the parts list. Refer to these codes and drawings for problem-free assembly.
Ensure the roof fabric is tightened sufficiently to avoid "hammocks". Re-tighten once or twice after a few months, especially after cold weather assembly when fabric stiffens and may slacken in warmer weather.
Owners are responsible for immediately removing snow if it does not slide off by itself.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY
- Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not set up near snow drifts, in slippery places, in high winds, or wet locations.
- Keep children away from the work area.
- Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times.
- Do not assemble under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if judgment or reflexes are impaired. If in doubt, do not assemble.
- Be aware of possible windy conditions; fasten bases in concrete if likely. Remove the cover during hurricanes.
- Be careful with power and heat sources. Do not place heat sources near the tarpaulin or expose it to open flame.
- Be aware of personal safety during assembly and use. Avoid pinching fingers with clips and tubes. Ensure adequate ventilation for exhaust and other dangerous fumes.

Front Wall Assembly Diagram
A simple line drawing shows a semi-circular arch with a rectangular opening at the base, representing the front wall of a shelter. Two small squares are shown at the bottom corners.
A detailed assembly diagram of the front wall structure shows various numbered tubes and fittings connecting to base plates. Dimensions like 845mm and 4160mm are indicated. Close-up views highlight specific connection points.
Follow the diagrams to identify all spare parts for the front wall. Ensure correct spacing and use screws to connect parts.
Front Cover Attachment
After assembling the front wall, attach the front cover. Use ropes to tie the cover to the front wall. Dropping tubes (No. 14) are inserted into the door cover. Steel wire is used to thread through these tubes from top to bottom and bottom to top, then tied to the winch wheel. Moving the winch wheel raises and lowers the door.
A diagram illustrates the mechanism for operating the winch door. It shows steel wire running through tubes attached to the door cover and connecting to a winch wheel. Ropes are used for initial attachment.

Equipment and Tools for Installation
- Measuring tape
- String for alignment
- Step ladder
- Sledge hammer
- Wrench
- Scissors
Base Installation (Figure 1)
Refer to Figure 1 to place the base plates. Measurements are from center to center of tubes. Ensure foundations are square.
Fix the base plate (No. L1/ L2 / R1) and connecting pieces (No. 15) using bolts (No. 16) as shown in Figure 1.
Diagrams (A-F) illustrate specific connection methods for base plates and tubes. Diagram (A) shows a tube being turned and fixed into a base. Diagram (B) shows a tube inserted into a fitting. Diagrams (C) and (D) show tubes being bolted to base plates. Diagrams (E) and (F) show metal plates being bolted together to form connections. Step 3 instructs to insert Plastic Plug (No. 12) into the ends of square tubes (No. L1 & L2).
Top-down views of container tops show placement of base plates (L1, L2, R1) for 20' and 40' containers. Dimensions and hole patterns are indicated. A close-up shows a bolt connection (No. 16) through a connector (No. 15).
Frame Installation (Figure 2)
For each arch, use one Three-way fitting (No. 1), two Top bent tubes (No. 3), and two Sidewall bent tubes (No. 4). Connect them using Screw M8x70mm (No. 13). Note the screw direction; do not install screws on the top where the fabric will rest.
Lift an assembled arch into one base plate and force the other end into the opposite base plate.
After assembling the first two arches, connect them using Connection purlins (part code 6) and Top roof purlins (part code 5) with Screw M8x70 (No. 13). Install the third arch and connect purlins. This completes the frame assembly.
Isometric views of the shelter frame assembly for C2020 and C2040 models show how three-way fittings, bent tubes, and sidewall bent tubes are assembled into arches using screws (No. 13).
Cover Attachment (Figures 3, 4, 5)
Figures 3, 4, and 5 illustrate the process of attaching the roof cover.
Install the Roof Cover
NOTE: Do not install the cover onto the frame of your building in high wind conditions. A slight breeze is advantageous. Pull the cover over the arches with the breeze assisting, like a sail.
- Place the Roof cover (No. 9) evenly, carefully, and slowly onto the frame. Adjust it to be square and centered.
- Weld Angle seats (No. 8) onto each container. Use Rope (No. 11) to secure the cover to the two side arches and then tie it to the Angle seats.
- Cut pockets according to base plate positions and insert Lower Tension tubes for roof cover (No. 7) into the roof cover pockets. Use Rope (No. 11) to tie down these tubes as shown in Figure 4.
- Finally, install the Plastic plug (part code 10) for the base rail section into the end of the Lower tension tubes.
NOTE: DO NOT leave the roof cover unattached under any circumstances until final assembly and tightening are complete. Some tightening adjustments will be necessary for a flat, tensioned roof cover. Adjust the roof cover monthly.
Please Note: Use tape to wrap around the gap between the steel skeleton after installing.
Diagrams show the connection of purlins between assembled arches. A grey sheet represents the roof cover being prepared for attachment.
Diagrams illustrate the roof cover being draped over the frame. Close-ups show details of tie-down ratchets and rope attachments used to secure the cover to tension tubes and angle seats.
