Operating Instructions

Using Removable Sidewalls

The carport features flexible, removable waterproof sidewalls. These can be easily attached or detached depending on your needs and the weather conditions. For full enclosure and maximum protection, ensure all sidewalls are securely fastened. For open-air use or during warmer seasons, the sidewalls can be removed.

Roll-Up Door Operation

The integrated roll-up door provides convenient entry and exit for vehicles. To open, unfasten the bottom and side securing straps, then roll the door upwards and secure it in the raised position using the provided fasteners. To close, unroll the door and secure it firmly to the frame.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your carport and ensure its continued performance.

• Cleaning: Clean the waterproof tarp and steel panels with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that may scratch the surface.
• Snow Removal: In snowy climates, promptly remove accumulated snow from the rooftop to prevent excessive load and potential damage.
• Bolt Tightening: Periodically check and tighten all bolts and connections to maintain structural integrity, especially after strong winds or heavy precipitation.
• Tarp Inspection: Inspect the waterproof tarp for any tears or damage. Repair promptly to maintain its protective qualities.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your carport.

• Carport feels unstable or sways: Ensure all diagonal braces are correctly installed and tightened. Verify that the base supports are securely anchored to the ground with the recommended number of expansion bolts. Check if the carport is installed on a level surface.
• Water leakage from the roof: Confirm that the waterproof sealing tape is properly applied at all roof panel joints. Inspect for any gaps or damage to the roof panels or tarp.
• Difficulty with sidewall attachment/removal: Ensure all securing straps and fasteners are correctly aligned and engaged. Check for any obstructions or damage to the tarp material.
• Damage from heavy snow: Always remove snow from the roof promptly. If damage occurs due to excessive snow load, inspect the frame and roof panels for bending or breakage and contact customer support for replacement parts.
