Storage and erection in bad weather conditions
While storage of house sets at open sites and erection in bad weather conditions, there may be the following consequences:
•Risk of increase of moisture level in the original package during storage without shelter longer than 1 month.
•Risk of increase of moisture level and biological damage of timber, placed in open or damaged package during storage without shelter or during long periods of time at open site.
•Risk of increase of moisture level and biological damage of timber because of precipitation exposure of uncovered log structure during erection work.
•Risk of carport elements splash contamination during storage in open package during erection work, in uncompleted structure.
Storage
•Do not open packages with timber when it is not needed.
•Provide the temporary shelter over the open package.
•Protect goods in open packages against precipitation and direct sun light. It is not allowed to reuse the packing film from the unpacked packages to cover carport elements. The film may have gotten filthy during transportation and storage of packages and that is why the reuse of film may get the carport elements filthy as well.
•Since timber is “breathing”, the absence of waterproof coating protection against variable temperature and humidity levels may bring to changes in timber volume, which may cause difficulties
5
during erection work, and to inappropriate moisture deformations in timber elements and cracking. Mold and blue stains may appear if assembly takes place in places without ventilation, such as forest.
In the case of installation of carport structure in conditions that adversely affect the wood (humidity, high temperature, etc.), it is recommended that protective wood treatment be performed before installation. Elements of the structure, in cases stipulated by building codes are subject to protective treatment. After mounting the frame elements, the wooden elements should be treated with a moisture-protective coating. All work of processing of wooden structures should be carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer.
The manufacturer does not bear responsibility for details quality if the storage conditions, mentioned above are violated.
The Manufacturer does not accept the claims on quality of cracked details if the requirements on protection of timber and end grains of structure details are not performed after erection is complete.
Foundation requirements before beginning installation of the carport
Before starting the assembly and installation of the carport structure, prepare the foundation.
At the time of carport installation, foundations must meet the following requirements:
•concrete in the foundation must gain at least 75% strength (in the case of using concrete in the foundation);
•the foundation must be made according to EcoHouseMart carport design drawings;
•waterproofing of the foundations has to be completed.

General requirements for erection work
Requirements for construction site development.
To level construction site, to provide rain precipitation runoff and removal, to exclude accumulation of precipitation in the construction area, detail transportation and passage ways
To remove top soil inside construction site.
To perform not less than 50 mm sand deposition at construction site and at:
To perform the footpath bridges at the footpaths from storage places to erection site.
To provide sufficient electric lighting at construction site.
If necessary, provide a special area at the construction site for painting of elements of the structure with antiseptic and primer compositions, for temporary storage of painted and treated with antiseptic details for primer drying and antiseptic composition properties fixation.
Requirements for erection work preparation.
If necessary, to provide antiseptic treatment of fitting boards, timber joists, roof timbers, drawing floor and roof lathing. Antiseptic composition should be non-washable.
To provide the high quality construction of convenient scaffolding, temporary ladders, temporary fencing, footpath bridges. While erection of the mentioned elements of construction rigging it is not allowed to fix scaffolding to carport elements. It is not allowed to use package elements connected in length while erection of scaffolding.
7
If necessary, corrosion resistant fasteners should be used while construction of scaffolding in order to avoid oil and other contaminants penetration from fasteners to construction structures. Erection of carport details should be performed in accordance with engineering documentation.
When assembling carport structures, prevent contamination of parts and structures by the following:
•lifting equipment and slings;
•chain saw oil;
•oil from other equipment;
•metal dust, chips and waste from the use of disk cutting tools;
•soil from shoes,
•hands.
Corrosion resistant fasteners (nails, screws, perforated and special steel fasteners) should be used in structure connections.
When identifying items shortage in packages, defective details and items, one should compile an act about that fact on the date of identification of such problem and to inform the Seller.
Prevent the erection of the defected details and items of the carport structure.
Do not perform erection work during rain, snow and mixed precipitation.
Perform manual movement of the structure elements only in clean, dry gloves. It is not allowed to move structural elements manually without gloves or in wet gloves.
Do not walk in dirty shoes on carport elements during construction.
8
During precipitation provide temporary shelter using waterproof vapor-permeable film for timber elements in order to avoid penetration of moisture on tongue-and-groove parts of timber elements. Exclude the possibility of film removal by wind. It is not allowed to use the vapor proof films, such as polyethylene, plastic film.
If snow or mixed precipitations will penetrate into tongue-and-groove parts of the elements, it is necessary to remove snow/ice before continuing of erection work without mechanical damage of the elements.
The recommended time period for construction and erection work is no longer than 1 month. If the recommended period for erection is not maintained resulting in absence of timely lumber protection, the claims on surface quality will not be accepted.
When tightening studs and screws, avoid crushing and destruction of wood under the washer. The studs are tightened with the nuts NSG-16 included in the kit.
Perform all installation and cutting work of elements in strict accordance with structural drawings. (Comes with this manual).
Perform cutting and drilling of elements in a specially prepared place on the construction site, allowing you to rigidly fix the element. The manufacturer is not responsible for the quality of assembly and installation work.

Cutting and adjustment of the roofing elements (stopper bars, purlins, battens and lathing) should be carried out locally, taking into account the actual length of the supplied elements.
The joint of the bearing elements of the roof structure along the length is possible only in the areas of the supports (rafter legs, purlins).
Elements cutting is to be performed in a specially equipped area at the construction site.
After completing installation of the carport structure, the wooden elements must be treated with a moisture-protective solution. All work on the processing of wooden structures should be carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer.
