Usage Features:
- Easy Assembly: Designed for user-friendly assembly, the shelter can be installed by a team of 3–4 members within 1–2 days, provided the instructions are followed carefully.
- Container-Based Structure: The shelter utilizes two shipping containers as its foundation, providing a stable and elevated structure. The base plates are welded onto the containers for secure attachment.
- Modular Frame Design: The frame consists of group arches (four for C2620, seven for C2640) made from top, middle, and bottom bent tubes, connected by purlins and supporting tubes.
- Secure Roof Cover Installation: The heavy-duty PVC roof cover is installed over the frame and secured using lower tensioning tubes, plastic plugs, and ratchet tie-down straps. The straps are threaded through slits in the cover pocket and tightened with ratchets attached to the base plates, ensuring a taut and wrinkle-free fit.
- Safety Guidelines: The manual emphasizes critical safety instructions, including assembling on flat, hard, and level surfaces, avoiding windy conditions, wearing personal protective equipment (safety goggles and gloves), and ensuring adequate ventilation. It also warns against leaving the product partially assembled due to potential dangers.
- Environmental Considerations: Users are advised to clear snow from the roof fabric, keep the shelter away from heat sources, and remove the fabric cover before hurricanes and blizzards.
- Customization: The canopy tents can be customized with front and rear panels, enhancing their versatility for various applications.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Fabric Tensioning: It is mandatory to tighten the roof fabric regularly to prevent "hammocks" on the roof. The fabric tends to stiffen in colder seasons (autumn and winter) and slacken during summer, so retightening before winter is crucial.
- Monthly Cover Adjustment: The roof cover should be adjusted every month to ensure it remains flat and tensioned, maximizing its lifespan and effectiveness.
- Component Inspection: Regular inspection of the shelter is recommended, and any damaged components should be replaced promptly to maintain the structural integrity and safety of the shelter.
- Gap Sealing: Duct tape can be used to close any gaps between the steel frame components after installation, particularly near the top of the frame, to prevent the roof cover from tearing due to rubbing against sharp corners. This proactive measure helps extend the life of the PVC cover.
