Proper care and maintenance of your carport is important.
Check the following items periodically to properly maintain
your carport:
• Frequently inspect building and all components.
• Replace damaged or worn parts promptly.
• Regularly check the roof panels to see that they remain
tight and in proper repair.
• Check connections and all fasteners to verify that they
remain tight.
• Verify that the anchor system used to secure the
assembled frame to the site is in good repair and that
all connections and fasteners are tight.
• Do not climb or stand on the shelter at anytime.
• Remove debris and objects that accumulate on the
shelter. Use tools that will not damage the roof panels
when removing debris.
• Remove snow to prevent excess accumulation.
Use tools that will not damage the roof panels when
removing snow.
• Check the contents of the shelter to verify that nothing
is touching the roof panels that could cause damage.
• If side or end panels are present, verify that they
remain tight and in good repair.

connections before using.
