• Problema: perdita d'acqua dal tetto.

  Soluzione: Inspect the roof panels for any gaps or loose screws. Ensure all waterproof sealing strips are correctly applied and intact. Re-tighten any loose screws and re-apply sealing strips if damaged.
• Issue: Difficulty aligning frame components during assembly.

  Soluzione: Ensure the base frame is perfectly level and square. Do not fully tighten all bolts until the entire frame is loosely assembled, allowing for minor adjustments. Then, tighten all connections progressively.
