Cantilever Carport Components Checklist:
Before assembling, please check all parts carefully and advise if you have any damaged or missing parts.

Before You Begin
 Check local building codes regarding carport location and any other local
requirements.
 Check the packing list to make sure you have all of the necessary parts.
 Separate everything in the cartons by the part number while reviewing the parts list.
 Be sure the day you select to build your carport is dry and calm.
 Two or more people should work together to assemble the Cantilever Carport. We
suggest that one person positions parts while the other handles the fasteners and tools.
Safety Precautions
 Safety precautions are important to follow throughout the construction of your
carport.
 Keep children and pets away from your worksite to avoid distractions and any
accidents.
 Never concentrate all your weight on the roof of the structure. When using a step
ladder or scaffolding make sure it’s fully open and on a level surface.
 To avoid any damage, do not attempt to assemble the structure on a windy day. The
larger panels can act as sails making construction difficult and unsafe.
Tips
 Keep Bolts and screws loose when raising and securing into place as this will allow
for some flex during assembly and will make the process easier. Once secured in
place, go back and tighten all bolts and screws.
 Peel off part number stickers and clean with soap/water.
 Use silicone to further weatherproof seals around the carport (not included).

Step 1: Prepare Posts
Selecting and Preparing Your Site:
 A solid Cantilever Carport starts with a level post foundation. This is the single most
important factor in making your Cantilever Carport as stable as possible. It also makes the
assembly process simple.
 Allow enough working space for ease of moving parts into position during assembly.
Option 1: Drilling Poles
 Drill holes into bottom end of posts for reinforcement.
 Drill holes at 25cm & 30 cm from the bottom end of posts.
They should look like a cross.
You can skip this step and do step 2 making concrete bases bigger & deeper for reinforcement.
Option 2: Concrete Post Foundation (not included)
 Dig 2 x 500l x 500w x 600h mm hole for concrete base.
 Our recommended inside distance between posts is 3500mm. This distance is flexible with
minimum distance being 2700mm and maximum distance 3500mm.
 Put post into hole. It should be 500mm below the ground level. (2500mm above the ground).
 Fill cement until level with ground. Wait at least one day for concrete bases to dry.
 Posts must be level and flat to provide good support for the frame. Posts should be the same
height above the ground to ensure roof is level
\
To avoid post
falling down or
tilting, use
timber blocks
to support them
while concrete
cures.

Step 2: Attach Roof Beams
 Insert corner brackets into posts and roof beams.
Corner bracket is smaller than the corner post and
roof beam.
 Secure corner bracket to post and roof beam with
screw bolt #1. Leaving the screw loose you can
adjust forward and backwards and height can be
adjusted too, so roof beam height is level.
 Tighten screws, once beams are level and cover
screws with plastic caps so bolts are not exposed.
Step 3: Roof Frame Construction
 Insert 1 PC Sheet Holder into Back Gutter Tube
(gutter section) before constructing Roof frame.
Secure PC Sheet Holder to Back Gutter Tube with
4 x screw #3

Step 3: Roof Frame Construction Continued.
 Insert Side Tubes into Front Tube using Front tube
connectors & into Back Gutter Tube using Back
Tube Connectors. Ensure tubes are tightly
fastened to the Aluminum Corner connectors with
2 x screw per corner.
Step 4: Roof Network
 Fix Horizontal Tubes onto the Side Tubes with 2
x Screw #3 at each point (circled below). The
Horizontal Tubes should be evenly spaced.

Step 4: Roof Network Continued.
 Fix Bottom Strip to Front and Back Gutter
Beams. Horizontal Tubes have grooves that the
bottom strips will sit in. Secure Bottom strips
using 2 x Screw #3 at each intersection. (Circled
below).
 Lift roof frame up on to the Roof Beams. Secure
roof frame to beams with screw #4. There are 12
intersection points, Secure with 4 x screw #4 per
intersection circled and 2 x screw #4 per
intersection marked with a square.

Step 4: Install Roof Network Continued.
 Attach L-Clamp to back gutter and galvanized
corner bracket with screw #3 to minimize roof
shaking when windy.
Step 5: Install Roof Panels
 Insert the 10 x PC sheets to the bottom groove of
the front tube and into the sheet holder on the
back gutter tube. The 2 bigger PC sheets need to
go at either end in spaces 1 & 10.
 Insert Top Strips into each gap between the PC
sheets and secure to roof networking frame with
screw #2

Step 5: Install Roof Panels Continued.
 There will be small gaps between the front tube
and PC panels. Cut black strip to size (10 pieces)
and squeeze into the bottom groove of the front
tube. Stick black strip with silicone sealant to
avoid leaking.
Step 6: Install Drain Pipe
 Install drain pipes. Cut drain pipes into three
pieces as per below image and attach to back
gutter tube and down along post using small
connection kits.
