Our industrial shelters are built to withstand harsh wind and snow conditions, making them a reliable solution for various weather environments. However, to maximize their lifespan and ensure consistent performance, regular maintenance is essential. Below are key tips to help you properly maintain your shelter.

How Can I Prepare My Shelter for the Snow Season?

Before the snow season begins, it’s crucial to:

• Tighten the Shelter Cover: Ensure that the shelter’s cover is pulled tight. A well-tensioned cover will distribute snow weight evenly, reducing the risk of sagging or structural damage.
• Inspect the Frame: Check all parts of the shelter’s frame for any wear or weaknesses. Addressing these issues before the snow season ensures the structure can handle the weight of accumulated snow.

Why Is Timely Snow Removal So Important?

After a snowfall:

• Remove Snow as Soon as Possible: While the shelter is designed to handle some snow load, it’s important to clear snow quickly to avoid excessive buildup.
• Clear Snow from the Sides: Snow accumulating along the sides of the shelter can put extra pressure on the frame, potentially causing structural strain. Regularly clearing side snow helps maintain stability and prevents unnecessary stress on the shelter’s structure.
• Prevent Ice Formation: If snow melts and refreezes, the ice that forms is much heavier than fresh snow. If more snow piles on top of ice, the overall load could exceed the shelter’s capacity, potentially causing damage.

What Should I Do During Strong Winds to Protect My Shelter?

During windy conditions:

• Manage Shelter Doors Appropriately: Open both shelter doors or keep them both closed.
• Avoid Uneven Pressure: Do not open only one side of the shelter, as this creates uneven internal pressure, which could cause stress on the structure and lead to damage.
