Operating Instructions

Mosquito Netting:

The gazebo is equipped with PVC coated mosquito netting to protect against insects. The netting utilizes a two-track system, allowing for smooth operation.

• Deployment: Gently pull the netting along the tracks to enclose the gazebo space.
• Securing: Use the integrated zippers or ties to secure the netting panels together and to the gazebo posts.
• Storage: When not in use, the netting can be tied back to the gazebo posts using the attached straps for an open-air feel.

Optional Privacy Curtains:

Privacy curtains (sold separately) can be installed on the same two-track system alongside the mosquito netting for added privacy and sun protection.

Maintenance

General Cleaning:

• Frame: Clean the aluminum frame with a mild soap solution and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Roof Panels: The aluminum composite roof panels can be cleaned with a soft brush or cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse well.
• Netting: Hand wash the mosquito netting with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before folding or storing.

Winterization:

• Snow Removal: Regularly remove any snow accumulation from the gazebo roof to prevent structural damage or collapse.
• Winter Covers: Sojag winter covers are available and sold separately. Using a winter cover can help protect your gazebo during harsh winter conditions.

Troubleshooting

• Stability Issues: Ensure all frame connections are tight and the gazebo is properly anchored to the ground. Re-check anchor points after strong winds.
• Water Leaks: Inspect roof panels for any gaps or damage. Ensure all roof panel seals are properly seated.
• Netting Snags: Check the two-track system for any obstructions or debris that might hinder the smooth movement of the mosquito netting.
• Fading/Corrosion: While the frame and roof are treated for UV and rust resistance, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions can still cause wear. Regular cleaning and proper winterization can extend product life.
