They should both be referred to in preparation for the installation and at every step during the construction process. | Every dimension, hole location and level should be double checked for good measure before cutting, fixing, screwing or bolting to any structural component.\u003Cbr>Your carport is designed to resist wind uplift and the footing size is based on the wind classification. If in doubt, go to the Lysaght website ([www.lysaght.com](www.lysaght.com)) and use the wind classification system to check the design wind speed or seek expert advice to ensure correct wind classification is selected.\u003Cbr>If you do not have the necessary tools or know-how, please contact your local Lysaght branch for guidance. |\n| --- | --- |\n| STEP 4-marking out the carport position |  |\n| Use in-ground stakes and tie up string lines to position the steel post locations referring to the construction drawing.
