GOJOOASIS 10x20 Carport Heavy Duty Portable Garage Shelter Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient assembly, operation, and maintenance of your GOJOOASIS 10x20 Carport. Please read all instructions carefully before beginning assembly and retain this manual for future reference. This carport is designed to provide a portable shelter for vehicles, RVs, boats, or as a temporary storage solution, offering protection against UV rays, rain, and other weather elements.

2. Safety Information

Your safety and the safety of others are paramount. Always follow these safety guidelines:

• Proper Anchoring: Ensure proper anchoring using the provided anchoring kit and wind rope to secure the shelter against strong winds. In areas prone to high winds, additional anchoring may be necessary.
• Assembly: Follow the setup instructions carefully to maintain stability and safety. Assembly typically requires two or more adults.
• Weather Conditions: While the canopy is UV-resistant and waterproof, extreme weather conditions such as heavy snow accumulation or severe storms may compromise the structure. Clear snow promptly from the roof.
• UV Protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight without proper protection, despite the UV-resistant material, as prolonged exposure can degrade materials over time.
• Site Selection: Choose a level, clear area for installation, away from overhead power lines, trees, or other structures that could pose a hazard.

3. Package Contents

Before assembly, verify that all components are present and undamaged. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact customer support.

• Heat-sealed, triple-layer 200g polyethylene fabric canopy (UV-resistant, waterproof, tear-proof)
• High strength 1.35-inch diameter, 1mm thick grey powder-coated metal frame pipes
• Metal joint fittings
• Anchoring kit (foot plates, wind ropes, stakes)
• Sidewalls (if included with your model)
• Assembly instructions

4. Setup Instructions

The GOJOOASIS carport features a tool-free frame for quick and easy assembly. It is recommended that two or more adults perform the installation, which typically takes about half an hour.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully unpack all parts and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Refer to the parts list to identify each component.
2. Assemble Frame: Connect the metal frame pipes using the spring button connectors and joint fittings. Ensure all connections are secure. The frame is designed for high strength and stability.
3. Attach Canopy: Drape the polyethylene fabric canopy over the assembled frame. Ensure it is centered and evenly distributed. The high-peak design helps prevent water pooling.
4. Secure Canopy: Fasten the canopy to the frame using any integrated straps, buckles, or ties. Ensure a snug fit to prevent flapping in the wind.
5. Install Sidewalls (if applicable): If your model includes sidewalls, attach them to the frame. The sidewalls are often removable, allowing for ventilation or full enclosure as needed.
6. Anchor the Carport: Use the provided anchoring kit, including foot plates and wind ropes, to firmly secure the carport to the ground. Proper anchoring is crucial for stability, especially in windy conditions.

5. Operating Instructions

The GOJOOASIS carport is designed for straightforward use as a temporary shelter.

• Vehicle Parking: Drive your vehicle, RV, or boat into the carport. The spacious 10x20 ft design allows for easy maneuvering.
• Sidewall Management: Utilize the removable sidewalls as needed. Keep them attached for full weather protection (sun, rain, dust) or remove them for increased ventilation during warmer weather.
• Entry/Exit: If equipped with zippered front/rear panels, use the silky zippers for convenient entry and exit.
• Multi-purpose Use: This carport can also serve as a party tent, storage shelter, or commercial event tent. Adjust sidewalls and internal setup as required for your specific use.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your carport.

• Canopy Cleaning: Clean the polyethylene fabric canopy periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the UV-resistant and waterproof coating. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
• Frame Inspection: Regularly inspect the metal frame for any signs of rust, bending, or damage. The frame is rust-proof, but extreme conditions or impacts can cause issues. Ensure all connections remain tight and secure.
• Anchoring Check: Periodically check the anchoring system (foot plates, wind ropes, stakes) to ensure they are still firmly secured to the ground, especially after strong winds or heavy rain. Re-tighten or re-anchor as necessary.
• Snow Removal: In snowy conditions, promptly remove accumulated snow from the canopy to prevent structural collapse due to excessive weight.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Carport Instability in Wind: If the carport feels unstable in windy conditions, ensure all anchoring points are properly secured. The provided anchoring kit (foot plates, wind ropes) is essential. For areas with frequent strong winds, consider purchasing additional heavy-duty ground anchors or securing the frame to a concrete base for enhanced stability.
• Water Pooling on Canopy: The high-peak design is intended to prevent water pooling. If water collects, check that the canopy is taut and evenly stretched over the frame. Adjust tension if necessary. Ensure the frame is assembled correctly and not sagging.
• Difficulty with Assembly: If you encounter difficulty during assembly, double-check the instruction manual for step-by-step guidance. Ensure all pipes are correctly oriented and connectors are fully engaged. Having two or more adults for assembly is highly recommended.
• Tears or Damage to Canopy: Small tears can be repaired with a suitable waterproof repair kit for polyethylene fabrics. For significant damage, contact customer support for replacement options.
