4. Setup and Assembly

Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the separate detailed installation guide included with your product. Each part is labeled for easy identification.

Key Assembly Points:

• Frame Assembly: The metal carport frame utilizes a superior pipe-shrinkage process, where original steel tubes are pressed to form small-size wave tubes, enhancing resistance to bending and strengthening joints.
• Ground Anchoring: Securely link the carport to the ground using the reinforced ground pegs, anchor bolts, and thick steel plates. Proper alignment and squaring of the frame are extremely important for overall stability.
• Roof Panel Installation: When installing the roof panels, ensure they are overlapped correctly to prevent leakages. The roof panels are 40% thicker and made without plastic film for enhanced durability.
• Fasteners: Pre-drilling all screw holes is advised, as the self-tapping screws may require this for optimal installation.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan and ensure the continued performance of your Xilingol Metal Carport.

• Inspection: Periodically inspect all frame connections, bolts, and anchor points to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose fasteners as needed.
• Cleaning: Clean the roof panels and frame regularly to prevent the buildup of dirt, leaves, snow, or other debris. Use a soft brush and mild detergent with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the galvanized finish.
• Corrosion Check: Inspect the galvanized frame for any signs of corrosion or damage. While galvanized frames offer superior resistance, prompt attention to any issues can prevent further deterioration.
• Waterproof Plugs: Ensure all waterproof plugs fitted to the tube frame are in place and undamaged to prevent water ingress into the frame.
• Snow Removal: In areas with heavy snowfall, regularly remove accumulated snow from the roof to prevent exceeding the 35 PSF snow load capacity.
