🛠️ Before You Buy a Carport — Check Your Ground First!

Not all carport sites are the same, and choosing the right installation method can save you a lot of trouble later 👇

________________________________________

✅ Situation 1: Flat Soil Ground

If your land is flat and unpaved (soil base) — You can go with in-ground posts + concrete footing

📌 Just follow the structural guide, dig and pour concrete properly.

________________________________________

✅ Situation 2: Concrete Slab (100mm Thick)

If you’ve got a flat 100mm concrete slab — You’ll need to attach one side of the carport to an existing building

✔️ Then use K1 post bases for the install.

________________________________________

✅ Situation 3: Sloped Land with Soil Base

If the ground is sloped but unpaved — As long as the gap between 2 post bases (2750mm apart) is less than 50cm

👉 You can still use concrete footings to stabilize the posts!

How do I make sure the posts stay firm in soft soil?

______________________________________

✅ Step 1｜Dig Holes + Insert Posts

📍 Dig two square holes (approx. 2.8m apart).

📌 Recommended size: 800mm × 800mm

✨ Slide the S6 anchor into the post base before placing—it greatly improves stability!

✅ Step 2｜Control Spacing + Height

📏 Recommended spacing: 2750mm ±50mm

📐 Post length: 3000mm, suggest burying 800mm

⚠ Make sure the top is perfectly level—this is crucial for aligning the roof later!

✅ Step 3｜Fine-Tune the Angle

🪜 Check angles from both front and side views

💧 It's okay if one side is slightly lower to allow for drainage

📌 Installation Tips:

• Adjust the angle before pouring concrete

• Fix the position right after pouring

• Let it set completely before continuing to the next step
