4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your 2-sided enclosure kit. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly.

1. Prepare the Carport Frame: Ensure your 12x20ft carport frame is fully assembled, level, and securely anchored to the ground. The frame must be stable and free from damage.
2. Unpack Components: Carefully unbox all enclosure kit components. Lay out the side panels and hardware in an organized manner to easily identify each part.
3. Attach First Side Panel: Position one side panel against the long side of the carport frame. Align the pre-drilled holes on the panel with the corresponding attachment points on the frame. Use the provided bolts, washers, and nuts to secure the panel. Do not fully tighten bolts until all panels are in place.
4. Attach Second Side Panel: Repeat the process for the second side panel on the opposite long side of the carport frame. Ensure both panels are correctly oriented and aligned.
5. Secure All Connections: Once both side panels are loosely attached, go back and securely tighten all bolts and nuts. Ensure all connections are firm but do not overtighten, which could damage the material.
6. Final Inspection: Visually inspect the entire enclosure. Confirm that all panels are properly aligned, securely fastened, and that there are no gaps or loose components. Check for any sharp edges or potential hazards.

5. Operating Instructions

The 2-sided enclosure kit is designed to provide static protection. There are no moving parts for daily operation once installed.

• The enclosure provides shelter from wind, rain, and sun for items stored within the carport.
• Access to the interior is typically from the open ends of the carport.
• Ensure that items stored inside do not press against the enclosure panels, which could cause damage.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your K Knowbody enclosure kit.

• Cleaning: Clean the enclosure panels periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Inspection: Annually, or after severe weather, inspect all bolts, nuts, and connections for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners. Check panels for dents, rust, or other damage.
• Snow and Ice Removal: In snowy regions, promptly remove snow and ice accumulation from the carport roof and enclosure panels to prevent excessive weight and potential collapse. Use a soft brush or broom to avoid scratching the surface.
• Rust Prevention: If any scratches or chips expose bare metal, touch up with rust-inhibiting paint to prevent corrosion.
