Anchor Guide
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the fabric last??

* Your model# would be helpful in expediting your request.
How do I anchor it to the ground??
The shelter must be permanently anchored with any one of the following (Detailed anchoring options are included in each installation manual):
- Auger Anchors – Dirt/Gravel/Asphalt
- Easy Hook Anchor – Dirt/Gravel/Asphalt
- Cement Wedge Anchors – Cement
How does it stand up to wind??
Because all of our products are not engineered buildings they CAN NOT be wind rated. Anchoring the shelter securely is critical to wind resistance. If extremely high winds or storms are predicted the structure can be dismantled and stored. However we do offer custom Pre Engineered Structures that carry a wind rating when properly anchored.
How does it stand up to snow??
Because our products are not engineered buildings they CAN NOT be snow load rated. Proper anchoring of your structure minimizes the impact from snow. Keeping snow off the roof area is strongly recommended. However we do offer custom Pre Engineered Structures that carry a snow rating when properly anchored.
What happens if the cover rips or tears??
A common vinyl patch kit or fabric patch can be used with 3m spray adhesive number 90. Replacement covers are available also.
