Confirm the Product and Sample
Confirm the Details Before Ordering
Customization & Finish
Coordinate dimensions, finish and component interfaces. For solar carport structures, distinguish the structural supply from electrical and photovoltaic equipment scope.
Accessories & Interfaces
Ask each supplier to identify included components, separately priced accessories and exclusions. Link fittings, trims, fixings and seals to the main product they serve.
Link the Sample to the Order
Keep the approved sample or drawing reference with the item specification. Record any difference between the sample and the proposed production scope before you confirm the order.
Plan Packing and Installation Together
Packing & Shipping
Identify long members and protect finishes. Plan packages around the assembly sequence, with hardware packs labeled to the corresponding structure.
Installation Information
Ask for assembly drawings and component identification. Foundations, structural approval, site safety and local installation must be resolved with qualified local professionals.

Questions Before You Start
Can an outdoor structure be ordered from a reference photo?
A photo establishes the style. Dimensions, site conditions, required performance and reviewed structural details are needed to agree supply.
Does a solar carport include electrical equipment?
The quotation must explicitly state whether panels, wiring, inverters or installation are included. Do not infer electrical scope from a structure description.
