Troubleshooting
Carport wobbles or feels unstable.
Ensure the carport is installed on a level surface and that all fixings are tightened securely. Check if posts have been cut and anchored correctly.
Felt shingles are not adhering properly.
Ensure the roof deck is clean and dry before applying the adhesive. Use the provided adhesive generously and ensure adequate pressure is applied during installation. Check the temperature and humidity conditions as they can affect adhesive performance.
Wood shows signs of discoloration or minor damage.
This is normal for natural wood. Ensure the wood has been properly treated. Apply a suitable wood preservative or stain as needed to maintain appearance and protection.
