2. Safety Guidelines

For safe use and installation of this freestanding shelter, please adhere to the following guidelines:

• Anchoring: Ensure the shelter is securely anchored to a stable and level foundation.
• Weight Limits: Do not exceed the recommended weight limit for the structure.
• Assembly Precautions: Take precautions during assembly and disassembly to prevent injuries. Handle all components with care.
• Tool Usage: Use only appropriate tools for assembly. When using power tools, wear safety glasses and gloves.
• Weather Conditions: Assemble the gazebo only in dry weather. Avoid assembly during strong winds or rain, as this can destabilize the structure.
• Component Integrity: Verify all parts are present and undamaged before beginning assembly. Missing or damaged parts should be replaced.
• Secure Fasteners: Use all provided screws, nuts, and bolts. Tighten all connections firmly, but do not overtighten to avoid damaging threads.
• Sharp Edges: Protect yourself from sharp edges and points, especially on metal parts, by wearing protective gloves.
• Post-Assembly Check: Thoroughly check all connections and anchor points after assembly to ensure stability. Regularly inspect the structure for loose screws or damaged parts, especially after strong winds or extreme weather.
• Fire Safety: Keep flames or hot objects (e.g., grills, fire pits) at a safe distance from the structure to prevent fire hazards. Do not use open flames inside or near the structure if it is not fire-resistant.
• Overloading: Do not place excessively heavy objects on the structure or add decorative material that could overload the roof. Adhere to the maximum permissible weight for the structure, especially for hanging items.
• Child and Pet Safety: Do not allow children to play unsupervised in or on the structure to prevent injury risks from unstable or heavy parts. Keep small parts out of reach of children. Mosquito netting and curtains can pose a strangulation hazard for small children; ensure they do not get entangled. Pets can easily damage the netting or fabric; keep textiles out of their reach.

6. Care and Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the lifespan of your Sojag Mykonos Gazebo.

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the fabric components (netting) according to the manufacturer's care instructions to prevent mold growth and material degradation. Use only mild cleaning agents and avoid aggressive chemicals that could damage the materials.
• Snow Accumulation: Sojag recommends removing any accumulation of snow from the gazebo roof to preserve its durability and stability. Winter covers are available and sold separately for additional protection.
• Sun Exposure: Prolonged sun exposure can cause the material to fade or reduce its strength. If possible, store fabric components in a shaded area when not in use for extended periods.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the frame and roof for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common concerns and issues that may arise during the ownership of your gazebo.

• Assembly Time: While the estimated assembly time is 6 hours with two people, some users report it taking longer due to the number of parts and the need for precise alignment. Patience and careful adherence to the instructions are key.
• Missing Parts: In rare cases, components may be missing from the package. If you encounter this, contact customer support immediately with your product model number and a description of the missing parts.
• Water Leakage: Some users have reported minor leakage issues. Ensure all roof panels are correctly seated and all fasteners are tightened. Check for any gaps or misalignments in the roof structure.
