3. Roof Panel Installation: Attach the galvanized steel roof panels to the frame. Ensure proper alignment and secure all panels using the designated fasteners. The design ensures no gap at the junction of the galvanized sheet ceiling for optimal waterproofing.
4. Base Reinforcement: Secure the carport's base to your chosen surface. Heavy-duty ground pegs are included for stability. For concrete or asphalt, appropriate anchors (not always included) may be required.
5. Final Checks: After assembly, double-check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight and secure.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan and performance of your carport:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the galvanized steel roof and frame with mild soap and water to remove dirt, debris, and prevent buildup. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Fastener Check: Regularly inspect all bolts, screws, and connections for tightness. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to ensure structural stability, especially after strong winds or heavy snow.
• Rust Prevention: Although made of galvanized steel and powder-coated tubing, inspect for any signs of rust, especially in areas where the coating might be scratched. Touch up with appropriate rust-inhibiting paint if necessary.
• Snow Removal: While designed for a 35 PSF snow load, heavy or wet snow should be removed from the roof to prevent excessive stress on the structure.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during assembly or use, consider the following:

• Missing Parts: If any parts are missing upon delivery, refer to the contact information in the Support section to request replacements.
• Hole Alignment Issues: If pre-drilled holes do not align perfectly, slight adjustments may be needed. Ensure the frame is square and level before tightening all fasteners. In some cases, self-tapping screws may be used for roof panel attachment if alignment is difficult, but exercise caution to avoid damaging materials.
• Stability Concerns: Ensure the carport is installed on a firm, level surface. Verify that all ground pegs or anchors are securely fastened.
• Water Leakage: Check that all roof panels are correctly overlapped and all fasteners are tight. The design aims for no gaps at junctions.
