Safety precautions are important to follow throughout the construction of your patio cover/carport

•Care must be taken when handling various
pieces of your unit since some contain sharp
edges. Please wear work gloves, eye protec-
tion and long sleeves when assembling or
performing any maintenance on your unit.

•Practice caution with the tools being used in the
assembly of this unit. Be familiar with the opera-
tion of all power tools.

•Never concentrate your total weight on the
roof of the unit. When using a step ladder make
sure that it is fully open and on even ground
before climbing on it.

•Keep children and pets away from worksite to
avoid distractions and any accidents which
may occur.

•Do not attempt to assemble the unit if parts are
missing because any unit left partially assembled

 

may be seriously damaged by light winds. 

•Do not attempt to assemble the unit on a windy
day, because the large panels acting as a "sail",
can be whipped about by the wind making con-
struction difficult and unsafe.
