SITE PREPARATION
Select a level or as close to level as practical location
for your Rhino Shelter Building. The building should
be placed on a base of materials suitable for the
storage load to be protected. The unit should not be
located under trees, which will shed hard fruit such as
apples, walnuts, or heavy pinecones. The cover of
your unit will protect against normal falling leaves and
light debris, however large branches or other falling
items may cause a puncture or tear in the cover
material. Take notice of drainage around your
intended location. Water draining from the
surrounding terrain should be considered so that it
does not run into the unit. As well, rain or melting
snow hat comes off the unit should be drained away
rather than accumulate and pool around the unit.
Check to be certain that adequate clearance is
allowed for entry and exit from ends of the unit. As
unit has doors on both ends, ideally RV, boat, or
equipment can be inserted or removed from either
end.
Using the stakes and string, measure off and
square area for intended installation. Level the
ground as best as possible. A properly leveled
frame yields maximum strength.
