How to Prepare for Installation
Getting your site prep, obtaining the permit if it is needed, calling 811 for utility lines are the main things that need to be done before installation.
Step 1: Make sure to call 811 if you are insure about utility lines
Step 2: Measure the width of your carport and place stakes accordingly. Square up stakes as necessary.
Step 3: Run string between stakes and apply string level
Step 4: Record elevation changes, subtract your shortest measurement from the highest and you'll have how many inches off level the land is. ( must be within 4")
