FAQs

Can I install this carport as a freestanding unit?

No, the PolyX is specifically designed as a lean-to structure and must be attached to an existing building elevation for stability.

What is the thickness of the glazing?

The kit comes with 16mm polycarbonate glazing sheets.

Are all necessary parts included in the box?

Yes, the kit includes self-supporting glazing bars, metal support legs, polycarbonate sheets, and guttering components.

How do I maintain the finish?

Use a soft cloth with mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools that could scratch the polycarbonate surfaces.

Can the length of the carport be customized?

The system is modular, but you should follow the provided installation manual for correct configuration to maintain structural integrity.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking at the wall connection

Check that the flashing or sealant applied at the wall-to-roof junction is intact and properly installed.

Carport structure feels unstable

Verify that all bolts at the wall plate and the base of the metal support legs are tightened to the recommended torque specifications.

Water pooling in the gutter

Ensure the structure has a slight gradient to allow water to flow towards the downpipe and clear any leaves or debris from the gutter channel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting installation, ensure that the intended wall elevation is structurally sound and can support the weight of the carport assembly. The kit includes all necessary accessories and a full set of installation instructions.

  1. Measure the installation area to ensure correct clearance for your vehicle.
  2. Secure the main support beam to the building elevation using appropriate masonry or wall fasteners.
  3. Install the glazing bars according to the provided diagram.
  4. Slide the polycarbonate sheets into position.
  5. Attach the vertical metal support legs and secure them to the ground.
