downward with a foot to remove excess. Temporarily tie
the end of the rope to the turnbuckle. Go over the entire
outer edge of the cover and adjust the excess material
around the end so it is not bunched up. Spread excess
material evenly along the outer edge. Once cover is
pulled snug and even, tie off the rope end to the
turnbuckle. All slack should be out of the rope at this
time. Repeat this step on both ends of the cover.
Tighten the turnbuckle to tighten the cover. This step
may need to be repeated to ensure a snug and centered
fit.

Step 3. When the cover is completely aligned secure
the cover to the bottom tie-down cross rail using the rope
provided. Start at one end and tie off the rope to the
cross rail. Lace the rope through the grommets in the
cover and back under the tie-down cross rail. Repeat
this on the opposite side
Pay close attention to how tight the cover is put onto the
frame. It should be tight enough so it does not flap
around in the wind, but not so tight that it tears the
material cover. The fabric backed PE fabric of Rhino
Shelter units does not stretch. If you pull it so tight that
the fabric is stretched, a small amount of additional
stress from wind or contact can cause premature tears
and failure. Only tighten cover enough to remove
valleys between arch assemblies. Do Not over tighten.
Step 4. Retighten the turnbuckles on both the cover and
end panels. Retighten the rope holding the main cover
to the bottom cross rail. Both the cover and the end
panels should be checked and tightened on a
monthly basis.
DOOR HOLD UPS
All Rhino Shelter doors are manufactured with a pocket
on the bottom edge along the width axis. A ½” to 1”
plastic or metal tube can be inserted into the pocket and
trimmed to fit width. Weight will reduce door movement
in wind. Four(4) bungee straps are provided to retain
the door up. Roll the door from the bottom and secure
the door roll with a bungee through the upper door
grommet as shown.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Annually or more often, the unit should be completely
inspected internally and externally to make certain the
unit remains properly installed and secured. Particular
attention should be paid to:
Hardware – check all carriage bolts and hardware
connectors to be certain they are in place and tightened.
