To assemble the Clarke 3503500 CIG1216 Instant Garage, start by laying out all the parts and ensuring you have all components. Follow the manual instructions to connect the metal frame using the provided connectors, and then drape the cover over the frame, securing it with the included bungee cords.
Secure the Instant Garage by driving the provided ground anchors through the base feet of the structure into the ground. Ensure the anchors are deep enough to resist wind uplift.
Use mild soap and water with a soft brush to clean the garage cover. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials that can damage the fabric.
Ensure proper ventilation by leaving the doors partially open on warmer days. You can also install a small fan or dehumidifier inside the structure.
For minor tears, use a patch kit designed for fabric repairs. For significant damage, consider ordering a replacement cover from the manufacturer.
Ensure all parts are correctly identified and matched to the instructions. Double-check the orientation of connectors, and ensure all joints are fully inserted and secured.
Regularly remove snow accumulation from the roof to prevent structural damage. Ensure the frame is tightly secured and inspect for any wear or damage before heavy snowfalls.
It's not recommended to paint the cover as it could damage the protective coating. However, you can use fabric-safe decals or patches for customization.
Disassemble the structure and fold the cover neatly. Store all components in a dry location, preferably in the original packaging, to prevent moisture damage.
Remove rust using a wire brush or sandpaper, then apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint to protect the metal. Regular inspections and touch-ups can prevent rust from forming.
