6. Maintenance

• Cover Care: Regularly inspect the PE cover for any tears or damage. Repair small tears promptly to maintain waterproof integrity. Clean the cover periodically with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
• Frame Care: The all-steel metal frame is designed to resist rust with its white powder coat. However, inspect the frame periodically for any signs of rust or damage. Tighten any loose bolts or connections.
• Anchoring: Periodically check the ground pegs and ropes to ensure they remain securely anchored, especially after strong winds or heavy rain.

7. Troubleshooting

• Instability in Wind: Ensure all ground pegs are firmly driven into the ground and ropes are taut. Consider adding additional anchoring points or sandbags in extremely windy areas.
• Water Pooling on Roof: Verify the cover is stretched tightly and evenly over the frame. Adjust bungee cords if necessary to eliminate slack.
• Difficulty Rolling Up Door: Check for any obstructions or misalignments in the zipper tracks. Ensure the fabric is not caught.
