5. Final Tightening and Anchoring: Once all components are in place and the canopy is secured, fully tighten all bolts. Anchor the marquee to the ground using the provided stakes or ropes to ensure stability, especially in outdoor conditions.

5. Operating Instructions

The vidaXL Garden Marquee is designed for temporary outdoor use as a sunshade or shelter for events. It is not intended for permanent installation.

• Placement: Choose a level, clear area for setup, away from overhead power lines, trees, or other obstructions.
• Anchoring: Always ensure the marquee is securely anchored to the ground to prevent it from being lifted by wind. Use all provided stakes and ropes.
• Weather Conditions: Do not use the marquee during strong winds, heavy rain, hail, or snow. Dismantle the marquee and store it in severe weather to prevent damage.
• Ventilation: The marquee features a double-vented design for improved airflow. Ensure these vents are not obstructed.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the polyamide coating. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
• Frame Care: Wipe the steel frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Inspect the powder coating for any chips or scratches and touch up with appropriate paint to prevent rust.
• Storage: When not in use, or during adverse weather, dismantle the marquee and store all components in a dry, protected area. Ensure the canopy is completely dry before folding to prevent mildew.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and frame connections for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary. Inspect the canopy for tears or damage.

7. Troubleshooting

• Marquee is unstable: Ensure all frame connections are fully tightened. Verify that the marquee is properly anchored to the ground with stakes and ropes. Check for uneven ground.
• Canopy does not fit correctly: Ensure the frame is assembled squarely and all parts are oriented correctly. The canopy should be stretched evenly over the frame.
• Water pooling on canopy: This may indicate improper tensioning of the canopy or an issue with the frame's pitch. Ensure the canopy is taut and the frame is assembled according to instructions to allow water runoff.
• Rust on frame: The frame is powder-coated steel. If scratches or chips occur, touch up with rust-inhibiting paint to prevent further corrosion.
