6. Maintenance
6.1 General Care
- Clean the PE cover periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
- Inspect all frame connections and anchoring points regularly to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Check the cover for any tears or damage. Repair small tears promptly to prevent them from enlarging.

6.2 Snow and Weather Management
- The steep roof design helps snow and rain slide off easily, reducing pressure buildup. However, in areas with heavy snowfall, it is recommended to clear excessive snow accumulation from the roof to prevent structural stress.
- During extreme weather conditions (e.g., hurricanes, blizzards), consider disassembling the carport or taking additional precautions to secure it.

7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Carport Instability
- Issue: Carport shakes or feels unstable in wind.
- Solution: Ensure all frame connections are fully tightened. Verify that ground anchors are securely installed and ratchet straps are taut. Consider adding additional anchoring points in high-wind areas.
7.2 Water Pooling on Cover
- Issue: Water collects on the carport roof.
- Solution: Ensure the cover is stretched tightly across the frame. Adjust ratchet straps to increase tension. Check for any sagging areas in the frame structure.
7.3 Difficulty with Zippers
- Issue: Zippers on doors or windows are stiff or difficult to operate.
- Solution: Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not under excessive tension.
