6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your carport:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the roof panels and frame with mild soap and water to remove dirt, debris, and prevent corrosion. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Fastener Check: Annually inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Snow Removal: In areas with heavy snowfall, regularly remove accumulated snow from the roof to prevent excessive load and potential damage. The carport is rated for a snow level of 35 PSF.
• Anchoring Check: Periodically check the ground anchors for security, especially after strong winds or heavy rain.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues:

• Roof Leaks: If roof leaks occur, inspect the weatherstrip tape and the tightness of the roof panel screws. Apply additional silicone sealant if needed, particularly at panel overlaps.
• Parts Not Lining Up: During assembly, if pre-drilled holes do not align perfectly, ensure all frame sections are correctly oriented and not overtightened prematurely. Slight adjustments may be needed before final tightening.
• Carport Instability: Ensure the carport is installed on a level surface and all anchor kits are properly secured into the ground. For added stability in high-wind areas, consider additional bracing or stronger anchoring methods.
• Damaged Parts: If any parts arrive damaged or become damaged during assembly, contact customer support for replacements.
