Installing the frame

- Start by laying the arches on the ground.

- Join the first two arches using the diagonal braces.

- Check the wing nuts throughout the course of the winter, and retighten if necessary.

- Do not install wood strips, vinyl panels or other items between the tarp and the frame for additional support. This will cause snow to settle on your car shelter roof, leading to excessive weight that will weaken the seams and cause the tarp to wear prematurely.
