Step 1: Assemble the Base Frame

  1. Lay out the 4 legs and 4 feet on a flat, level surface.

Step 2: Install the Roof Trusses and Peak Hubs

  1. Attach the 13 trusses to the beams and connect them to the 2 peak hubs to form the roof structure.
  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.
  2. Secure the main canopy to the frame using the integrated fasteners.
  3. Install the upper canopy onto the smaller top frame, ensuring it is properly seated for ventilation.

  2. Hang the 4 screens (mosquito netting) from the designated tracks or hooks on the frame.

  4. Use the fabric hook-and-loop fasteners to secure the sidewalls to the legs or tie them back when not in use.

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.
