2. Ensure all connections are secure.

Step 3: Attach the Canopies

1. Carefully place the main canopy over the assembled roof frame. Ensure it is centered and all corners are aligned.

Step 5: Final Tightening

Operating Instructions

Using the Mosquito Netting

The mesh screens are designed to provide ventilation while keeping insects out. They can be zipped closed for full enclosure or tied back to allow open access.

Using the Privacy Curtains

The privacy curtains offer additional shade and privacy. They can be pulled closed over the mesh screens and secured with zippers, or tied back to the gazebo legs using the integrated fabric fasteners when not needed.

Securing the Gazebo

For added stability, especially in moderate weather, consider using stakes or weights (not included) to secure the gazebo feet to the ground.

Maintenance

Canopy Care

• Clean the polyester canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Allow the canopy to air dry completely before folding and storing to prevent mildew.
• Remove the canopy during strong winds or heavy precipitation to prolong its lifespan.

Frame Care

• Wipe the steel frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
• Inspect the frame periodically for any signs of rust or damage. Touch up any scratches with rust-inhibiting paint if necessary.
• Ensure all bolts and connections remain tight.

Seasonal Storage

For prolonged periods of non-use or during winter months, it is recommended to disassemble the gazebo and store all components in a dry, protected area to prevent damage and extend product life.
