Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the ClearSpanTM Backyard Canopy. We appreciate your patronage. We
hope you enjoy building and utilizing your shelter. Please read this entire instruction manual before
starting to assemble your shelter. If you require assistance during the construction process you may
call us at 1-800-245-9881.
A Word About Safety
Just as we want you to be pleased with your assembled canopy, we donʼt want you to get hurt in the
process of building and using it! Our comments and suggestions include the following:
• The ClearSpanTM Backyard Canopy is a temporary structure and is not designed as a
permanent structure.
• The structure is not meant to support ice or snow. As such, ClearSpanTM does not
guarantee this canopy if used in ice or snow.
• ClearSpanTM has no control over occurrences of wind, snow, ice, and heavy rain, and can
not be responsible for damage caused by or to the canopy.
• Proper anchoring is the responsibility of the buyer and owner/user. Ask your ClearSpanTM
representative if you need assistance with anchoring choices. ClearSpanTM will not be
responsible for damage caused by failure to properly anchor the canopy.
• Do not place or use any open flame or other heat source under or near the canopy.
• Use a portable GFCI when working with corded power tools.
• Never erect a canopy directly under power lines.
• Be careful not to drive anchors into buried power cables.
• Do not climb on the canopy or its frame. It is not designed to support human weight.
• Do not occupy the canopy during high winds, hurricanes, or tornadoes.
• If the canopy is moved or disassembled after construction, inspect thoroughly before reuse.
• Use common sense at all times.
Suggested Tools
Before you start to build your shelter you should assemble the following tools:
• Tape Measure
• Step ladder tall enough to safely work at the height of your shelter

IMPORTANT - Read Anchoring Instructions
You must read the anchoring instructions packed with your kit prior to shelter assembly!
Selecting a Location
It is important to select a proper location for your poly shelter. While the location may have been
predetermined before you even ordered your shelter, you may want to “improve” the location before
starting the assembly process.
One of the most important considerations is that the location should be level. If it is not, the shelterʼs
frame will not assemble or sit properly. If your location is not level, you should consider grading it
before building on it. Another alternative is to provide footings which are level to support the shelter.
These could be pressure-treated posts, precast concrete blocks, or poured in place footings.
Drainage is another important consideration. Rain flowing off your shelter should have a natural path
to flow away from the shelter and not under or into it.
Section A - Unpack & Identify Parts
Step 1: Before you begin to assemble your shelter you should first unpack the contents of your
shipment. During this process you will learn what all of the various parts look like.
Tip: We recommend you start by laying out the contents of your shipment in an orderly fashion
as shown in the photograph below. Note that your parts may look different from those shown.
Step 2: Carefully go through the bill of material that came with your shelter and verify that you have
all the required parts.
Tip: It is not necessary to open the plastic bags and count all of the fasteners at this time.

Section B - Assembly

Step 2: Add a 3-way coupler to each end of the ridge.
Step 3: Add a pair of “A” rafters to each coupler, one on each side of the ridge (8 total).
Step 4: Add a 3-way coupler in each corner, and a 4-way coupler at the ends of the two middle raf-
ters on each side.
Step 5: Drape the cover over the roof frame, grommetted portion face down, so the valence wraps
around and covers the frame eves.

Step 7: Lift one side of the roof and slide in the leg poles. Then lift the other side and insert the

Step 8: Working inside/under the canopy, secure the cover to the frame using ball bungies. Note
that your bungies may be a different color than those shown. Start in the corners.

around the pipe as illustrated above.
