Foundation and Installation

Choose a firm, level, well-drained installation site with adequate clearance for assembly and vehicle access. The foundation and anchoring system must be suitable for the frame, 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 wind and snow performance.

Professional installation is recommended for proper frame alignment, panel fastening, and anchoring.

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 structure unless specifically approved for that purpose.
