Key features include:

• Industrial grade steel frame and 29-gauge painted galvanized steel roof for durability.
• Wind speed rating of 100 mph and snow/ground load rating of 35 PSF.
• UV treated enclosure cover with heat-sealed seams for water and moisture resistance.
• Enclosure kit includes door panels on both front and back for drive-through access.
• Slip-fit frame connection for simplified assembly.

2. Safety Information

Adherence to safety guidelines is crucial during assembly and use of the carport. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

• Always anchor the carport securely to the ground to prevent it from tipping over in high winds.
• Do not use the carport in heavy rain or snow conditions as it is not water-resistant.
• Be cautious of sharp edges and small parts during assembly and disassembly.
• Ensure all connections are tightened according to instructions to maintain structural integrity.
• Keep children and pets away from the assembly area.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses during assembly.

• Ensure adequate clearance around the structure for assembly and future access.

4.2 Frame Assembly

• Assemble the base frame components first, ensuring all connections are secure.
• Erect the vertical support posts and connect them to the base.
• Install the roof trusses and connect them to the vertical supports using the slip-fit connections.
• Ensure all bolts are tightened to the specified torque (refer to the main assembly manual).

4.3 Roof Panel Installation

• Carefully lift and position the galvanized steel roof panels onto the assembled frame.
• Secure the panels using the provided fasteners, starting from one end and working towards the other.
• Overlap panels correctly to ensure water runoff.

4.4 Enclosure Kit Installation

• Once the main carport structure is complete, attach the enclosure fabric panels.
• The enclosure kit includes door panels for both front and back.
• Utilize the integrated zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners to secure the panels to the frame.

5. Operating Instructions

The Arrow Sheds Carport with Enclosure Kit is designed for straightforward operation.

5.1 Vehicle and Equipment Storage

• Drive vehicles or equipment into the carport slowly and carefully to avoid striking the frame.
• Utilize the front and back door panels of the enclosure kit for convenient drive-through access.
• Ensure adequate clearance for opening vehicle doors or accessing equipment.

5.2 Enclosure Use

• To fully enclose the carport, zip up all door panels and secure any hook-and-loop fasteners.
• To open, unzip the door panels and roll them up, securing them with the provided ties if applicable.
• The enclosure provides protection from UV rays, moisture, and other environmental elements.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your carport and enclosure kit.

• Frame Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary. Inspect the powder-coated steel frame for any signs of rust or damage. Touch up any scratches with rust-inhibiting paint.
• Roof Panel Cleaning: Clean the galvanized steel roof panels as needed to remove dirt, leaves, or other debris. Use a soft brush and mild soap with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Enclosure Cover Care: Clean the UV-treated cover with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or pressure washers, as this can damage the fabric and its protective coating. Ensure the cover is dry before storing or closing for extended periods to prevent mildew.
• Snow and Wind: While rated for certain conditions, it is advisable to clear heavy snow accumulation from the roof to prevent excessive load. In extreme wind conditions, consider temporarily removing the enclosure cover or relocating sensitive items.
• Anchoring: Regularly inspect the ground anchors to ensure they remain secure, especially after strong winds or heavy rain.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

7.1 Carport Instability

• Issue: Carport feels wobbly or unstable.
• Solution: Check all frame connections and bolts to ensure they are fully tightened. Verify that the carport is properly anchored to the ground on a level surface.

7.2 Water Leaks

• Issue: Water dripping from the roof or through the enclosure.
• Solution: For roof leaks, inspect the galvanized panels for proper overlap and secure fastening. Ensure all roof screws are tight. For enclosure leaks, check that zippers are fully closed and heat-sealed seams are intact. The enclosure cover is water-resistant, not fully waterproof under all conditions.

7.3 Difficulty with Enclosure Zippers/Fasteners

• Issue: Zippers are stuck or hook-and-loop fasteners are not holding.
• Solution: Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to stiff zippers. Clean hook-and-loop fasteners of any debris to ensure proper adhesion.
