Operation
Curtains and Netting:
The gazebo features fully enclosed zippered removable double-layer PBV-coated curtains and netting. These can be used to protect against UV rays, provide privacy, and keep insects out. The curtains can be easily stored using the two-in-one velcroes when not in use.
Accessory Hooks:
Equipped with hooks on the top roof, you can hang lights or fans to enhance the ambiance and comfort of your gazebo.

Maintenance
- Regularly inspect all hardware (bolts, screws, fittings) to ensure they are properly tightened.
- Periodically check for any cracked welds or loose connections in the frame.
- Clean the galvanized steel roof and aluminum frame with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- The PBV-coated curtains and netting can be spot cleaned or gently hand washed as needed. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
Troubleshooting
Stability Issues:
If the gazebo feels unstable, ensure it is installed on level ground. Verify that all ground stakes are securely in place. Consider anchoring the gazebo to a permanent structure (wooden deck, concrete) using expansion bolts for maximum stability.
Water Leakage:
Check that all roof panels are correctly installed and aligned, and that all fasteners are tight. Ensure the eaves leakage hole is clear of debris to allow for smooth drainage.
Curtain/Netting Issues:
If curtains or netting are not closing properly, check for obstructions in the zippers or tracks. Ensure velcro ties are securely fastened when curtains are stored.
