wondering what you do in the winter so the snow doesn't pile up on it?
Thank you for reaching out. It is recommended that the shade panel is rolled up in areas that will receive measurable snow prior to the winter season. This will assist in preventing potential damage to the Livestock Shade Shelter. The shade panel can be rolled up and secured directly to the shelter frame.
