SPECIFICATIONS

UltraShade by UltraSite manufactures pre-engineered shade structures that are shipped as a prefabricated package. This package shall include the structural frame members, fabric roof, all fasteners, and installation manual. The prefabricated shade structures will ship unassembled. Installation of the prefabricated shade structure is to be performed by experienced professionals. No onsite welding will be required.

Standard Design Criteria: UltraShade’s shade structures are rated to meet and exceed minimum design criteria requirements. Wind Speed (Frame Only): 150 mph Wind Speed (Frame w/ Fabric on): 90 mph as determined by 3 second wind gust (ASCE-7). Snow Load: 5 psf. Live Load: 5 lbs per sq ft Structure/ Welding: All steel tubing is to be fabricated from structural steel. All plates are to be fabricated from A36 steel. ASTM A-572, grade 50 is available if necessary. Structure is to be free of sharp edges and corners to prevent fabric ripping or tearing. Structure components are to be MIG welded. Minimum 3/16” fillet welds unless otherwise noted. Welding is performed by American Welding Society (AWS) certified welders. No onsite welding will be required. Coating: Tubing material is to be pregalvanized structural steel Flo-Coat tubing. All tubing receives a triple layer of protection of zinc, a conversion coating, and a clear polymer topcoat.

Depending on the engineering requirements of each project, A500 carbon steel tubing may be used for larger structures. This tubing will be sandblasted to near white condition prior to coating. Polyester triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) polyester powder coat is electrostatically applied and oven baked to a 3-5 mil coating thickness. An optional zinc rich epoxy primer coat is available. Primer will be .9 to 1.3 mils thick.


Cable and Hardware: All hardware is to be stainless steel or galvanized. Rubber washers are available upon request for bolt fittings. Fabric perimeter cable is to be galvanized steel aircraft quality cable. A minimum of ¼” diameter galvanized 7x19 strand cable will be used. For heavy loads, 3/8” diameter galvanized 7x19 cable will be used. Cable clamps and connectors are to be galvanized steel. Fabric Roof: UV Shade Fabric is Shadesure fabric, manufactured by MultiKnit Ltd., and made of UV-stabilized high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The mesh fabric must be Raschel-knitted with monofilament and tape yarn filler (weighted at 195g per square meter) to ensure that the material will not unravel if cut. Fabric shall conform to, and pass the required flammability tests: the ASTM E-84 testing standard, as well as the NFPA701 Test Method 2 Standard.

- Flexible temperature range, with a very low shrinkage factor - Extremely high strength; durable in outdoor climates, resists flex and

abrasion of fabric - Unaffected by cleaning agents, as well as acid rain, mildew, and saltwater - Rot-resistant, and unaffected by most industrial pollutants - Specially treated for prolonged exposure to the sun - Lockstitch Thread – 1200 Denier or approved equal - Chainstitch Thread – 2400 Denier or approved equal

Concrete: 28 day strength: 3000 psi Cast in place anchors (where applicable) are A307 galvanized steel. Footings shall be placed in accordance with and conform to the Sealed Engineered Specifications and Drawings. Quick Release: The new patent pending quick release elbow permits a quicker method of attachment and removal of fabric. The tubing size ranges from 1-5/8” to 5” depending on the size of the structure, and uses Flo-coat zinc tubing. Installation: Install to be in accordance with the manufacturers installation guidelines.

LIMITED WARRANTY

UltraSite, a PlayCore company (hereinafter “UltraSite”) warrants that the shade structure sold will be free from defects in materials under intended use for a period of 10 years fabric and structure from the date of delivery. UltraSite and its suppliers will be liable for repair or replacement of materials found to be defective. The repair or replacement of materials shall be at the expense of UltraSite. This warranty is in effect only if the structure has been assembled and installed in accordance with UltraShade’s installation drawings, and has been subjected only to normal intended use and exposure. Some field drilling may be necessary and is considered a normal part of construction, and will not be subject to rejection or cause for void of warranty. UltraSite shall not be responsible for delays due to missing, stolen, or non-conforming parts. Any rework/retrofit of non-conforming parts must be authorized by UltraSite. This limited warranty is void if any damage has resulted from abnormal use, abuse, accident, vandalism, maintenance, misapplication, service, or modification by someone other than UltraSite authorized dealers or authorized installers. This limited warranty excludes color fading of structure within 10 miles of any area retaining salt water. Any replacement part issued during original warranty period is warranted for the remaining original warranty period or 6 months, whichever is longer. Shade fabrics carry a 10-year limited manufacturer’s warranty from the date of assembly against failure from significant fading, deterioration, breakdown, mildew, outdoor heat, cold, or discoloration, with the exception of Red, which carries a 3-year limited warranty. Should the fabric need to be replaced under the warranty, UltraSite will manufacture and ship a new fabric at no charge for the first six (6) years, thereafter pro-rated over the last 4 years. This warranty shall be void if damage to the fabric is caused by contact with chemical, misuse, vandalism, any Act of God (ie. hurricane, tornado, micro/macroburst), including, but not limited to; ice, snow, or wind in excess of the applicable building code parameters. Fabric tops are warranted for wind/gusts up to 90mph prior to snow or ice accumulation.


LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTINUED

The warranty will be void if any modification or attachment is made to the rafter(s). The fabric will wear/tear should any object be placed between the rafter and fabric, voiding the warranty. The warranty will only be applicable to the repair or replacement of defective materials. UltraSite reserves the right, in cases where certain fabric colors have been discontinued, to offer the customer a choice of available colors to replace the warranted fabric of the discontinued color. UltraSite does not warrant that any particular color will be available for any period of time, and reserves the right to discontinue any color for any reason, without recourse by the owner of the discontinued fabric color. NOTE: UltraSite fabric warranties cover fabric tops up to 40’ in length. Fabric tops over 40’ in length are covered by a non-prorated 5-year warranty. In the event of a claim of defect in materials, UltraSite shall be placed on notice of defect in writing, delivered to UltraSite at the address indicated below, within 30 calendar days from discovery of the defect. No later than 30 days from the date of receipt of the notice, UltraSite will determine whether to repair or to replace defective materials. UltraSite disclaims all other warranties, expressed or implied, including any supplementary materials required for the shade installation.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS

FABRIC MAINTENANCE Our high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fabric tops are virtually maintenance-free, but should be kept clean to ensure they look bright and attractive for years to come. If the fabric is not kept clean, foreign objects or other material (sand, dirt, etc.) can get between the fabric and steel, causing abrasion and fabric deterioration. Cleaning the fabric is quick and simple using a power washer or water hose and a light detergent. Spray the fabric from the underside when necessary, by starting at the top (peak), and working down so debris (sand, dirt, etc.) will be washed away. Care should be taken when using a power washer, as too much pressure can damage the fabric. STEEL MAINTENANCE The structural steel components are designed as such that there will be little to no maintenance required. The protective finish may need minor maintenance to prevent corrosion. During the assembly process some scrapes and scratches may have occurred. These will require touching up. Also, over time, normal use may create scratches. Follow the standard paint procedures listed on any spray paint can. However, there is one very important thing to remember: **Remove all loose powder coat, grease, oil or rust. Lightly sand surrounding powder coat for good adhesion.** Keep the structure clean in order to maintain its new appeal. Use a MILD cleaning solution, and hand-wipe periodically to maintain “like new” appearance.
