4. Assembly Instructions
Assembly typically takes less than 30 minutes with two people. Follow the steps below carefully.
- Step 1: Build the Top Frame. Connect the various galvanized steel pipes to form the roof structure. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Step 2: Cover the Frame with Canopy. Drape the PE reinforced canopy over the assembled top frame. Secure the canopy to the frame using the provided elastic balls or connecting balls.
- Step 3: Assemble the Leg Pipes and Secure. Attach the eight leg steel pipes to the top frame. Once the full structure is upright, secure the carport to the ground using the ground nails and windproof ropes.

5. Anchoring and Stability
Proper anchoring is crucial for the stability and safety of your carport, especially in windy conditions. The carport is designed to withstand maximum wind speeds of up to 30 mph when correctly anchored.
- Utilize the 4 ground nails to firmly secure the base of the carport legs to the ground.
- Employ the 16 small nails and 4 windproof ropes to provide additional lateral stability. Attach ropes to designated points on the frame and secure them to the ground at an appropriate angle.
- Regularly inspect all anchoring points and ropes for tightness and wear. Re-secure or replace as necessary.

7. Care and Maintenance
Regular care and maintenance will extend the lifespan of your carport.
- Canopy Cleaning: Clean the PE canopy periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
- Frame Inspection: Regularly check all frame connections, bolts, and joints for tightness. Tighten any loose components. Inspect the galvanized steel for any signs of rust or damage.
- Anchoring Check: Periodically inspect ground nails, small nails, and windproof ropes for wear, damage, or loosening. Ensure they remain firmly secured to the ground.
- Weather Adaptability: The PE canopy is designed to adapt to temperatures ranging from -22℉ to 176℉ without cracking. However, for extreme weather conditions (heavy snow, ice, or very high winds), it is recommended to disassemble the carport to prevent damage.

8. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter during assembly or use.
- Missing or Damaged Parts: If you discover any missing or damaged components upon unboxing, do not proceed with assembly. Contact Aoxun customer service immediately for assistance.
- Loose Connections: During assembly, ensure all pipe connections are fully engaged. Some connections may require a firm push. If a connection feels excessively loose, verify that the correct pipes are being joined according to the diagram. In some cases, a self-tapping metal screw can be used to reinforce very loose attachments, but this should be a last resort and only if the structural integrity is not compromised.
- Carport Instability: If the carport feels unstable after assembly, re-check all anchoring points. Ensure ground nails are fully inserted and windproof ropes are taut and properly angled. Verify that the frame is level on the ground.
- Canopy Sagging: Ensure the canopy is evenly distributed over the frame and all elastic balls/connecting balls are securely fastened. Sagging can occur if the canopy is not properly tensioned.
