CONNECTOR
SIZE-
Pipe outside diameters are
typically larger than the pipe
order size since pipe is ordered
by inner diameter. In order for
the connectors to fit properly,
the inner diameter of the
connector is slightly larger than
the outer diameter of the pipe.

Q:
Can I return any connectors or tarps I
don't need?
A: Tarps that have not been
opened may be returned at your expense.
Shelter connectors that have not
been used and are in new condition may
also be returned at your expense. There is
a 12% restocking fee for returned items
and we will only refund on the purchase
price less the 12% so please try to make
sure of what you need before
ordering.
Q:
How do I decide what size tarp I need?

HERE FOR DETAILED
PAGE.
A: If you have an existing frame, measure
from the eave pole, across the top to the
other side eave pole. If that measurement
is appx. 10', you need a cut size10' wide
tarp which will actually be a finished
size of appx 9'7" allowing room for ball
bungees.
Q: I
would like a paper catalog of your
products.
A: We don't produce a paper catalog
of our products due to the ever changing
nature of our site. But.... at some time
in the future we may change our minds so
if you would like to be added to the list
of people wanting a paper catalog, please
send us your name and mailing address!

Q: Why
should I use bungees?
A: Bungees act as a shock absorber
for your tarps.... the little vibration
that the wind creates and the stretching
and shrinking from temperature variations
are very hard on tarps if they aren't
attached with
bungees to compensate for these
things.
Q: How
many bungees do I need?
A: To determine the number of
bungees you will need using our tarps with
appx. 18" grommets. (For a 10 x 10 tarp,
add all 4 sides 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40 x's
12 divided by 18 = 27 bungees. Bungees
come in bundles of 25 so for this size you
would need two bundles.)
Q: I
don't want to use cables to anchor my
shelter because of livestock getting
tangled in the cables or children playing
on them... what can I do?
A: Many people use t-posts (metal
fencing posts) driven beside the legs of
the shelters... the legs are then secured
to the t-posts using worm clamps... 2 per
leg... (worm clamps are the type used on
radiator hoses that have a screw to
tighten the metal band.) CAUTION:
Make sure there are no underground
utilities where you are going to drive the
t-posts!
Q: We
live in an area with snow... Will the
shelters hold up?
A: Temporary canopy shelters are
not designed for heavy snow load... keep
in mind that they are constructed using
tarps and tarps will sag and collect water
under snow load. Many people use a closer
support spacing and high peak connectors
for areas where there is snow to create a
sturdier shelter.... even at that they are
advised to remove any snow load if they
get it and we are not recommending these
portable shelters for snow
areas!
Q: Why
is water pooling on top of my tarp
shelter??
A: Tarps MUST be bungeed
inside the framework of your
shelter. Any place a tarp touches a
horizontal pole, it creates a dam even
though it's just barely touching. Don't
try to use one tarp for top and sides of a
shelter unless it's a high peak or
dome.
