Step 1: Assemble the Base Frame

Connect the bottom support rods (B and C) using the provided screws. Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Repeat this process to form all base sections.

Step 2: Construct the Roof Trusses

Assemble the roof trusses by connecting components D, D1, and E. Secure these with bolts and nuts (J). Attach the vertical support bars (A) to the ends of the trusses. Ensure the triangular support frame is correctly formed for structural stability.

Step 3: Erect the Frame Structure

Connect the assembled roof trusses to the base frame. Use the provided bolts and nuts to secure the vertical posts (A) to the base. Install the horizontal crossbars (F1, F2, F3) to connect the trusses, forming the complete skeletal structure. Verify all dimensions are within ±5mm tolerance.

Step 4: Install Roof Panels

Carefully place the steel roof panels (G and H) onto the frame. Ensure proper overlap and alignment. Secure the panels using self-tapping screws (I). Apply sealing tape and caulk along the seams to prevent leaks. Install the perimeter guard rails (P) and side barriers for added protection.

Maintenance

• Regularly inspect all bolts and connections for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary.
• Check the ground anchors periodically, especially after strong winds or heavy precipitation, to ensure they remain secure.
• Clean the roof panels and frame as needed to prevent accumulation of dirt, leaves, or snow. Use a soft brush and mild detergent with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Inspect roof seams and sealing for any signs of wear or leakage. Reapply caulk or sealing tape as needed to maintain waterproof integrity.
• Monitor for any signs of rust on the steel components. Although treated with a triple-layer protective coating, prompt attention to any rust spots can prolong the product's lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Leaks from the roof.

Solution: Inspect the roof panel overlaps and areas where screws penetrate. Ensure sealing tape and caulk are properly applied. If any gaps or damage are found, reapply sealant or replace damaged sections as necessary. A complimentary repair kit is provided for minor installation leakages.

Issue: Carport instability or swaying.

Solution: Verify that all frame connections are securely tightened. Check the ground anchors to ensure they are firmly embedded and not loose. In areas prone to extreme weather, consider additional anchoring methods or professional installation.

Issue: Bent or damaged panels/frame components upon arrival.

Solution: Inspect all components immediately upon delivery. If significant damage is present, contact EASYHAWK customer support for assistance with replacements before beginning assembly.
