Choosing a good car shelter
1- A round shelter or a steep structure
2- A galvanized steel structure
3- Minimum 1-¼ diameter
4- Minimum 16 thickness of gags
5- Thick Canvas (minimum 7 oz / V2)
6- Classic Canvas with the rope and not quick couplers that do not have a long life.
Proper car shelter installation:
1- Inform you from the city to the regulation on the legal date of installation and disassembly as well respect the distance á from the sidewalk and street.
2-We strongly recommends permanent anchors (avoid concrete blocks or other weight)
3- Goodly tender the canvas to avoid pockets
Proper maintenance:
1-Declare the carport to your home insurance.
2-Plow your every storm shelter with a roof scoop sold at Shelter Crystal (ask a relative or neighbour to do in case you are away)
3-Verify periodically tension canvases, anchors and nuts during the season.
4-In case of strong winds, close both doors of the shelter to avoid the wind creating a parachute effect. If you only have a door, you must open the passage to allow the wind.
5-Do not allow the engine inside the shelter to avoid the risk of poisoning the oxide.
