Specifications

• Small trailers
• Lawn and garden machinery

Foundation and Installation

Choose a firm, level, well-drained site with sufficient clearance for assembly and vehicle access. The foundation and anchoring system must be appropriate for the structure’s dimensions, local soil conditions, wind exposure, and intended use.

Confirm permits, property setbacks, underground utilities, overhead clearances, and applicable structural codes before installation. Correct assembly and anchoring are required to achieve the manufacturer-listed load performance.

The wind and snow ratings are expressed as structural pressures. Site-specific engineering may be required in locations with greater wind, snow, seismic, or exposure requirements.

Inspection and Maintenance

Inspect the frame, anchors, roof panels, optional wall panels, and connections regularly. Keep drainage paths clear and repair damaged coatings or loose fasteners promptly.

Remove accumulated snow when necessary and inspect the carport after severe weather. Avoid attaching suspended loads to the frame unless specifically approved for that purpose.
