Operating Instructions

The Real Relax Metal Carport is designed for versatile use as an outdoor shelter. Ensure the carport is properly installed and anchored before use.

• Vehicle Protection: Park vehicles (cars, trucks, boats, tractors) underneath to shield them from sun, rain, and light snow.
• Outdoor Storage: Use the carport to store outdoor equipment, tools, or other items requiring protection from the elements.
• Activity Area: The open design makes it suitable for use as a patio cover, grilling area, or temporary gathering space for outdoor events.

Maintenance

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

• Snow Removal: During winter, promptly remove snow from the roof. Do not allow snow accumulation to exceed 5 inches (approximately 12.7 cm) to prevent structural strain.
• Cleaning: Periodically clean the galvanized steel roof and frame with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coating.
• Inspect Connections: Regularly check all bolts, screws, and ground anchors to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten as necessary.
• Rust Prevention: The galvanized steel and powder-coated frame offer rust resistance. However, inspect for any signs of rust, especially after prolonged exposure to moisture, and address them promptly with appropriate rust-inhibiting treatments.
• Drainage: Ensure the sloped roof design allows for efficient water drainage. Clear any debris that might obstruct water flow.

Troubleshooting

• Carport Instability: Ensure the carport is installed on a flat, solid surface and securely anchored with all ground anchors. Consider building a wooden or concrete foundation for increased stability.
• Water Leakage: Verify that all roof panels are correctly overlapped, waterproof tape is applied at all joints, and screws are tightened with washers to create a proper seal.
• Snow Accumulation: Do not allow snow to exceed 5 inches on the roof. Promptly clear excess snow to prevent structural damage.
• Wind Damage: In anticipation of strong winds, ensure the carport is extra securely anchored. If possible, move valuable contents from under the carport during extreme weather.
