Troubleshooting
Carport feels unstable
Ensure all fixings are tightened securely and that the base is level and firm. Check that posts have been cut and installed to the correct, uniform height.
Felt shingles are not adhering properly
Verify that the roof surface is clean and dry before applying adhesive. Ensure the correct type and amount of adhesive are used as per the kit instructions. Check temperature for optimal adhesion.
Uneven appearance after post installation
Double-check that all posts were cut to the exact same length on-site. Ensure they are plumb (vertically straight) before securing them.
Water pooling on the roof
Confirm that the roof structure has a sufficient slope for drainage. Clear any debris that may be blocking water flow from the shingles.
