1. Montare il telaio metallico:

   Begin by laying out all frame components according to the included diagrams. Connect the vertical posts to the base plates and then attach the horizontal beams and roof trusses. Ensure all connections are finger-tight initially, allowing for adjustments.

   Tip: Organize parts by their labels to streamline the process.

2. Prepare the Roof Structure and Panels:

   Once the main frame is upright and stable, install the reinforced crossbars and support rods that form the skeleton for the roof. Unpack the Colorbond steel roof panels carefully, checking for any damage. Remove any protective film from the panels.

   Caution: Metal edges can be sharp. Wear gloves during handling.

3. Install the Roof Panels:

   Starting from one end, carefully lift and secure the roof panels onto the prepared roof structure. Overlap panels as instructed in your detailed guide to ensure a waterproof seal. Use self-tapping screws to fasten the panels to the frame. Work systematically, ensuring each panel is properly aligned before securing it fully.

   Note: The sloped design of the roof is crucial for water runoff. Ensure panels are installed to maintain this slope.
4. Complete Installation and Anchoring:

   After all roof panels are installed and securely fastened, tighten all bolts and nuts throughout the entire structure. Finally, anchor the carport to the ground using the provided hardware. For concrete surfaces, use concrete anchors; for soil or gravel, use ground anchors. Proper anchoring is critical for stability against wind.

   Important: Double-check all connections for tightness and stability before using the carport.
