2. Safety Information

Your safety is paramount. Adhere to all safety guidelines to prevent injury or damage to the product.

2.1 General Safety Instructions

• Checking Scope of Delivery: Ensure all parts of the kit are present and undamaged before beginning assembly. Missing or damaged parts should be requested or replaced from the supplier.
• Using the Right Tools: Use only tools suitable for assembly to ensure stable mounting and prevent damage to parts. Always wear safety glasses and gloves when using power tools.
• Construction Only in Good Weather: Assemble the gazebo or pergola only in dry weather to avoid accidents due to slippery surfaces or tools slipping. Avoid assembly in strong wind or rain, as this could destabilize the structure.
• Stable Ground: Ensure assembly takes place on a level, firm surface to guarantee the stability of the gazebo or pergola. Unstable ground can lead to instability and accident risks.
• Caution with Large Components: If possible, use a second person to lift and mount larger parts to avoid injuries due to excessive weight or uncontrolled movements. Ensure large components are securely supported if not yet fully fastened.

2.2 Safety Instructions for Assembly

• Fastening the Equipment: Use the screws, nuts, and bolts included in the kit to securely mount the structure. Tighten all screws and connections firmly, but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the threads.
• Anchoring: If the assembly instructions provide for anchoring in the ground, follow these instructions carefully. An insufficiently anchored structure can tip over or be overturned in strong winds.
• Protection from Edges and Points: Protect yourself from sharp edges and points, especially with metal parts, and wear protective gloves. Deburr any protruding screws or sharp edges to prevent injuries.
• Inspection After Assembly: Thoroughly check all connections and anchorages after assembly to ensure the structure is stable and firm. Regularly inspect the structure for loose screws or damaged parts, especially in strong winds or extreme weather conditions.

2.3 Safety Instructions for Use

• Wind and Weather Conditions: Protect the gazebo or pergola during storm warnings or extreme weather conditions. Remove any loose parts or the roof if applicable. Do not use the gazebo or pergola in extreme wind or snow, unless explicitly designed for it.
• Fire Protection: Keep flames or hot objects, such as grills or fire pits, at a safe distance from the structure to avoid fire hazards. Do not use open flames in or near the structure if it is not fire-resistant.
• No Overloading: Do not place excessively heavy objects on the structure and do not additionally load the roof with decorative material that could exceed the weight limit. Use the structure according to its intended purpose and observe the permissible maximum weight, especially for hanging swings or accessories.
• Child Safety: Do not let children play unsupervised in or on the structure to avoid injury risks from unstable elements or heavy parts. Ensure no small parts are left lying around that could be swallowed by children.

2.4 Accessories (Mosquito Nets, Curtains, Covers)

• Fire Hazard: Flammable: Synthetic fibers are not easily flammable. Keep mosquito nets, curtains, and covers away from open flames, burning candles, torches, and grills.
• Heat Sources: Avoid placing textiles near heat sources such as heaters, light bulbs, or other heat sources to prevent overheating or melting.
• Assembly and Installation: Ensure mosquito nets and curtains are securely fastened to prevent them from falling down. Regularly check that the fastening points are stable, especially in stormy weather or prolonged use.
• Outdoor Use: Weather conditions: Synthetic fibers are weather-resistant, but can be damaged by constant sun exposure or extreme weather conditions. If possible, store the fabrics indoors during strong wind, rain, or snow.
• Protection from Strong Sunlight: Prolonged sun exposure can fade the material or reduce its strength. When not in use, store in a shaded location if possible.
• Child and Pet Safety: Within reach of children: Mosquito nets and curtains can pose a choking hazard for small children if they get tangled in them. Ensure children do not play unsupervised with the material. Caution with pets: Pets can easily damage the net or fabric and risk injury. Avoid placing textiles within reach of pets.

Always remove snow accumulation from the roof to prevent structural damage. Ensure the gazebo is properly anchored to a stable foundation to withstand wind and weather elements.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan and preserve the appearance of your gazebo.

• Snow Accumulation: Sojag recommends removing any accumulation of snow from the gazebo roof to preserve its durability and stability. Heavy snow can put excessive stress on the structure.
• Regular Cleaning: Clean the textiles (mosquito nets, curtains) regularly according to the manufacturer's care instructions to prevent mold growth and material degradation.
• Cleaning Agents: Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. Use only mild cleaning agents and no aggressive chemicals, as these can damage the material.
• Frame Cleaning: The powder-coated aluminum frame can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots.
• Storage of Textiles: If possible, store the fabrics indoors during strong wind, rain, or snow to protect them from extreme weather conditions. When not in use, store in a shaded location to prevent fading and strength reduction from prolonged sun exposure.
