2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before assembling or using this carport canopy. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or personal injury.

• Site Selection: Choose a level, stable surface for installation. Avoid areas prone to strong winds, flooding, or overhead obstructions like power lines or tree branches.
• Anchoring: Always secure the carport firmly to the ground using all provided anchoring hardware (ground nails, wind ropes, ratchet straps). In areas with high winds or heavy snow, additional anchoring may be required.
• Weather Conditions: While designed for various weather, extreme conditions (e.g., severe storms, blizzards, hurricanes) may require temporary disassembly or additional reinforcement. Do not use in conditions exceeding its design limits.
• Snow Removal: Regularly remove accumulated snow from the canopy roof to prevent structural collapse.
• Fire Safety: Keep all heat sources and open flames away from the canopy fabric. The fabric is not fireproof.
• Assembly: Assembly typically requires two or more adults. Wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves, during installation.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the assembly area. Do not allow them to play inside or around the carport unsupervised.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Using the Double Zippered Roll-up Doors

The carport features double zippered rolling doors at both ends, allowing for flexible access and ventilation.

• Opening: Unzip the doors completely and roll them upwards. Secure them in the rolled-up position using the attached ties or buckles. This increases the available door height to 9 feet, accommodating taller vehicles.
• Closing: Unroll the doors and zip them down completely to secure the contents and protect against weather.

4.2. Utilizing the Vents

The carport is equipped with unique vents designed to promote air circulation and reduce moisture buildup.

• The vents feature an inner mesh layer to keep insects out while allowing airflow.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your COBIZI carport canopy.

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the canopy fabric periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
• Frame Inspection: Periodically check all frame connections, bolts, and screws to ensure they are tight and secure. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Anchoring Check: Regularly inspect ground nails, wind ropes, and ratchet straps for wear or loosening. Re-secure or replace as needed to maintain stability.
• Snow and Water Accumulation: The round roof design helps prevent accumulation, but in heavy snow or prolonged rain, manually remove excess snow or water to prevent stress on the frame and fabric.
• Fabric Care: The 180g PE tarpaulin is waterproof and tear-resistant. However, avoid sharp objects that could puncture or tear the fabric. Repair any small tears promptly to prevent them from enlarging.

6. Troubleshooting

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

• Issue: Carport feels unstable or sways in wind.
  Solution: Ensure all frame connections are tightly secured. Verify that all ground nails, wind ropes, and ratchet straps are properly installed and taut. Consider adding additional anchoring in high-wind areas.
• Issue: Water pooling on the roof.
  Solution: While the round roof design minimizes pooling, check if the canopy fabric is stretched evenly and tightly over the frame. Adjust tension if necessary. In heavy rain, manually push accumulated water off the roof.
• Issue: Zippers are difficult to operate.
  Solution: Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth if they are stiff.
• Issue: Moisture buildup inside the carport.
  Solution: Ensure the vents are open and unobstructed to promote air circulation. If possible, partially roll up the doors during dry weather to increase ventilation.
• Issue: Missing or damaged parts during assembly.
  Solution: If you encounter any problems during installation or find missing/damaged parts, please contact COBIZI customer support immediately.
