4. Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: The 180G waterproof PE sidewalls are easy to clean. Use mild soap and water to wipe down the fabric as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
• Frame Inspection: Periodically check the galvanized steel frame for any signs of rust, damage, or loose connections. The rust-resistant coating provides long-lasting protection, but extreme conditions may require attention.
• Roof Integrity: Inspect the roof for any tears in the fabric or issues with the sealing tape and screw gaskets, especially after heavy rain or snow. Ensure the roof's rainproof and leak-proof performance is maintained.
• Anchoring System: Regularly verify that all 16 ground nails and 4 additional support poles are securely anchored. Re-tighten or re-secure any loose components to maintain stability, particularly before and after strong winds.
• Snow Removal: While the roof has a load capacity of 35 lbs per square foot, it is advisable to remove excessive snow accumulation to prevent structural stress.
