Please read this entire instruction manual carefully before assembling, operating, or maintaining your GOJOOASIS 10x20 Heavy Duty Carport. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or personal injury. Keep this manual for future reference.

General Safety Precautions:

• Always anchor the shelter securely to the ground using the provided anchoring kit. Additional anchoring may be required in areas prone to high winds or severe weather.

• Ensure the assembly area is clear of obstructions and overhead power lines.
• Two or more adults are recommended for safe and efficient assembly.
• Regularly inspect the frame, cover, and anchoring for signs of wear, damage, or loosening. Address any issues promptly.
• Remove heavy snow accumulation from the canopy to prevent structural collapse.
• Keep children and pets away from the assembly area.

3. Setup and Assembly Instructions

The GOJOOASIS 10x20 Carport features a tool-free frame design for quick and easy setup. Follow these steps for proper assembly.

Step-by-Step Assembly:

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Lay out all frame poles, connectors, and the canopy cover. Refer to the parts list in your manual to ensure all components are present.
2. Assemble the Base Frame: Connect the horizontal and vertical base poles using the appropriate metal joint fittings. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Construct the Roof Frame: Assemble the roof truss sections by connecting the angled poles to the peak and eave connectors.
4. Attach Roof Frame to Base: Carefully lift and attach the assembled roof frame to the vertical poles of the base frame. Secure all connections.
5. Drape the Canopy Cover: Unfold the polyethylene canopy cover and carefully drape it over the assembled frame. Ensure the cover is centered and evenly distributed.
6. Secure the Canopy: Attach the canopy cover to the frame using the integrated straps, buckles, or bungee cords. Ensure the cover is taut to prevent water pooling.
7. Install Sidewalls (Optional): If your model includes sidewalls, attach them to the frame using the provided fasteners (e.g., zippers, buckles). The sidewalls can be removed for ventilation.

Anchoring the Carport:

Proper anchoring is crucial for the stability and safety of your carport.

• Position the foot plates at the base of each vertical pole.
• Drive the provided stakes through the holes in the foot plates into the ground. Ensure stakes are fully embedded.
• Attach the wind ropes to designated points on the frame and secure them to additional ground anchors or sturdy fixed objects.
• For enhanced stability, especially in windy conditions, consider purchasing heavy-duty ground anchors or concrete anchors (not included).

4. Operating Instructions

Your GOJOOASIS carport is designed for versatile use and protection.

UV & Weatherproof Canopy:

The carport features a heat-sealed, triple-layer 200g polyethylene fabric canopy that is UV-resistant, waterproof, and tear-proof. This cover protects vehicles and stored items from sun, wind, rain, dust, hail, and snow. The high-peak design helps prevent water pooling on the roof, and reinforced seams minimize leaks.

Using Removable Sidewalls:

The included sidewalls provide additional protection and privacy. They can be easily attached or removed depending on weather conditions and ventilation needs. For optimal ventilation in warmer weather, sidewalls can be removed. For full protection against elements, attach all sidewalls securely.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your GOJOOASIS carport.

• Cleaning the Canopy: Clean the polyethylene cover periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the fabric's UV coating. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
• Frame Inspection: Annually, or more frequently in harsh conditions, inspect all frame poles and connectors for rust, bends, or damage. Replace any compromised parts immediately.
• Anchoring Check: Regularly check the tightness of all anchoring points, including stakes and wind ropes. Re-tighten or re-secure as needed, especially after strong winds or heavy precipitation.
• Snow Removal: In areas with snowfall, promptly remove accumulated snow from the canopy to prevent excessive weight and potential collapse. Use a soft brush or broom from the inside to push snow off.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, ensure all components are clean and dry. Store the canopy and sidewalls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.

6. Troubleshooting

Refer to this section for common issues and their solutions.

• Carport instability in wind: Ensure all anchoring points are securely fastened. Consider using stronger, aftermarket ground anchors or concrete anchors for increased stability. Verify wind ropes are taut and properly secured.
• Water pooling on canopy: The high-peak design is intended to prevent pooling. Ensure the canopy is stretched tightly and evenly over the frame. Check that the frame is assembled correctly and not sagging.
• Leaks through canopy: The canopy features reinforced seams. Inspect the area of the leak for any tears or damage. Small punctures can often be repaired with a waterproof patch kit. Ensure the canopy is properly tensioned.
• Difficulty assembling frame: Ensure all poles and connectors are correctly oriented according to the assembly diagram. A second person can greatly assist with aligning and securing components.
• Zipper or buckle issues: Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Lubricate with a silicone-based spray if stiff. Check buckles for damage and ensure they are properly threaded.
