Operating Instructions

• Roll-Up Zipper End Door: The carport features a roll-up zipper door at the end for convenient vehicle access. Unzip and roll up the door panel when entering or exiting, then zip it down to secure the enclosure.
• Side Mesh Roll-Up Windows: The sidewalls are equipped with four mesh roll-up windows. These can be rolled up to ensure air circulation and ventilation, especially during warmer weather, or rolled down for increased protection.
• Side Door Access: A dedicated side door provides convenient access to the interior without needing to open the main end door.
• Solar Light and Light Strip: The included solar light and light strip can be positioned to provide illumination around and within the carport during nighttime. Ensure the solar panel receives adequate sunlight for charging.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Canopy: Clean the PE canopy top and sidewalls periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
• Frame Inspection: Regularly inspect the galvanized steel frame for any signs of rust, bending, or damage. Tighten any loose connections.
• Anchoring Check: Periodically check the ground anchors, ropes, and sandbags to ensure they are still securely fastened, especially after strong winds or heavy rain.
• Snow Removal: In snowy conditions, promptly remove accumulated snow from the canopy to prevent excessive weight and potential collapse.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, ensure all components are clean and dry. Store the canopy and frame in a dry, protected area to prolong their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

• Carport Instability: Ensure all frame connections are tight and all anchoring points (ground nails, ropes, sandbags) are properly secured. Check for uneven ground.
• Water Pooling on Canopy: Verify that the frame is assembled correctly and the canopy is taut. Ensure proper tensioning to allow water runoff. Remove snow promptly.
• Zipper/Window Malfunction: Check for obstructions in the zipper path. Ensure fabric is not caught. For windows, ensure they roll up and down smoothly without snagging.
• Solar Light Not Working: Ensure the solar panel is clean and exposed to direct sunlight for several hours to charge. Check for any physical damage to the light or wiring.
