4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your GarveeLife carport.

• Snow Removal: During winter, regularly clean snow from the roof. Do not allow snow accumulation to exceed 4 inches to prevent collapse.
• Stability Checks: Periodically inspect ground pegs, guylines, and anchors to ensure they are securely fastened, especially after strong winds or heavy precipitation.
• Frame Inspection: Check the galvanized steel poles for any signs of rust or damage. The anti-rust coating helps, but regular inspection is recommended.
• Tarp Care: Inspect the PE canopy for tears or damage. While durable, extreme weather can cause wear. Ensure the tarp remains taut to prevent water pooling.

5. Troubleshooting

Address common issues with your carport using the following guidance:

• Stability Concerns: If the carport feels unstable, ensure it is placed on flat ground and all ground pegs, guylines, and anchors are properly secured. In windy areas, consider adding extra counterweights such as concrete blocks, sandbags, or steel ropes for enhanced stability. The maximum wind-resistant level is Beaufort 7.
• Missing or Damaged Parts: If you encounter missing or damaged parts during transportation or assembly, contact customer support immediately for assistance.
• Assembly Difficulties: If you experience trouble during installation, refer to the detailed manual and assembly videos. It is recommended to have 2-3 people for assembly.
• Water Accumulation: Ensure the tarp is taut and properly secured to prevent water from pooling on the roof, which can lead to damage or collapse.
