Maintenance Tips

• Clean panels and frame: Rinse the 6 mm twin‑wall polycarbonate roof panels and rust‑resistant aluminum frame with mild soap and water and a soft cloth or hose; avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners to protect UV‑resistant surfaces.

• Clear debris: Regularly remove leaves, dirt, and buildup from roof panels, integrated gutters and downspouts to maintain proper water flow and prevent staining or pooling.

• Inspect & tighten hardware: Periodically check bolts, anchors and fasteners; tighten as needed to keep the structure stable and secure.

• Manage snow load: After heavy snowfall, gently clear excess snow from the roof to reduce stress on panels and frame.

• Avoid roof traffic: Do not walk on roof panels or use sharp tools on surfaces — this can damage the polycarbonate and affect long‑term durability.
