Step-by-Step Assembly Overview:

1. Frame Assembly: Begin by assembling the main structural frame. Connect the horizontal and vertical support beams according to the provided diagrams. Ensure all connections are secure.
2. Roof Panel Installation: Once the frame is stable, attach the galvanized steel roof panels. Start from one end and work your way across, overlapping panels as indicated to ensure a waterproof seal.
3. Securing Components: Use all provided fasteners to securely link all parts of the carport. This reduces installation time and enhances structural integrity.

Key Structural Features:

• Thicker Tubes: The frame utilizes thicker tubes for enhanced stability and durability.
• Sidewall Extension: Designed with a 12-inch sidewall extension to effectively keep slanted rainwater out and facilitate water drainage.
• Waterproof Tape: Waterproof tape is applied at roof joints to prevent leaks at the seams, ensuring a better fit and protection.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan and ensure the continued performance of your Poborin Metal Carport.

• Routine Cleaning: Periodically clean the roof and frame to remove dirt, leaves, and debris. Use mild soap and water; avoid abrasive cleaners.
