4. Setup and Assembly
Assembly typically requires two or more people. Follow these steps for proper setup:
- Prepare the Area: Choose a level, clear area for assembly. Ensure sufficient space for the 10'x 20' footprint and surrounding working area.
- Assemble the Frame: Connect the alloy steel pipes according to the included assembly diagram. Pay attention to the orientation of connectors and pipes. Ensure all connections are secure. The frame features a top triangular structure for enhanced stability.
- Attach the Main Tarp: Drape the polyethylene main tarp over the assembled frame. Ensure it is centered and evenly distributed.
- Secure Tarp with Bungees: Use the provided ball bungees (68 pcs) to securely attach the tarp to the frame. Thread the bungees through the grommets on the tarp and around the frame pipes.
- Install Sidewalls and Doors: Attach the two removable sidewalls and two zipper doors to the frame using the bungee cords. The sidewalls feature 6 large mesh windows for ventilation, with roll-up covers.
- Adjust Height (Optional): The carport offers 4 adjustable height levels. Use the liftable rods to set the side height to 6.5ft, 7.0ft, 7.5ft, or 8.0ft. Corresponding peak heights will be 9.5ft, 10.0ft, 10.5ft, and 11.0ft.
- Anchor the Carport: Firmly plant the reinforced ground spikes into the soil through each foot pad of the main frame. For additional stability, especially on soft ground or in windy conditions, attach sandbags to each foot and use the provided ropes to secure the carport to the ground.

5. Operating Instructions
The MARVOWARE carport is designed for flexible use throughout the year.
- Ventilation: Utilize the 6 large mesh windows on the sidewalls for air circulation. Roll up the outside window covers as needed to increase airflow and prevent moisture buildup.
- Access: Use the two zipper doors for easy entry and exit of vehicles or equipment.
- Seasonal Use: The removable sidewalls and zipper doors allow for different configurations based on weather and needs. For open-air events, remove the sidewalls. For maximum protection, keep all panels attached.
- Height Adjustment: To change the height, carefully lift the frame and adjust the liftable rods to the desired setting (6.5ft, 7.0ft, 7.5ft, or 8.0ft side height). Ensure both sides are adjusted evenly.

6. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your carport.
- Cleaning: Clean the polyethylene tarp and frame with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all frame connections, bungee cords, and tarp for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly.
- Anchoring: Periodically check the ground anchors to ensure they remain firmly in place, especially after strong winds or heavy precipitation.
- Snow Removal: In areas with heavy snowfall, regularly remove accumulated snow from the roof to prevent structural collapse. Do not allow heavy snow loads to remain on the tarp.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, disassemble the carport and store all components in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Carport is unstable or sways in wind. | Insufficient anchoring; loose frame connections; uneven ground. | Ensure all ground spikes are fully inserted. Add sandbags for extra weight. Check all frame connections are tight. Relocate to a more level surface if possible. |
| Water pooling on roof. | Tarp not taut enough; improper assembly; excessive snow/rain load. | Re-tension bungee cords to make tarp taut. Verify frame assembly is correct. Remove snow/water accumulation immediately. |
| Difficulty with height adjustment. | Pins not aligning; obstruction in pipes. | Ensure the liftable rods are clean and free of debris. Apply slight pressure to align holes. Adjust one side at a time. |
| Zipper sticking or not closing. | Dirt/debris in zipper teeth; misalignment. | Clean zipper teeth with a brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant. Ensure the door panel is properly aligned and not under tension. |
