2. Safety Information

To ensure safe use and prevent injury or damage, please adhere to the following safety guidelines:

• Assembly: Always assemble the gazebo with at least two people. Ensure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened as per the assembly instructions.
• Anchoring: Proper ground anchoring is highly recommended to prevent the gazebo from being lifted or damaged by wind. Use the provided stakes or additional weights if necessary.
• Weather Conditions: While the gazebo is designed to be waterproof and winter-resistant, it is advisable to remove the canopy and mesh netting during extreme weather conditions such as heavy winds, snow, or thunderstorms to prevent damage.
• Fire Safety: The canopy fabric is CPAI-84 flame resistant. However, keep all heat sources, open flames, and flammable materials away from the gazebo.
• Structural Integrity: Regularly inspect the frame for any signs of damage, rust, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly to maintain structural stability.
• Drainage: The canopy features drainage holes to prevent water accumulation. Ensure these holes remain clear of debris.

5. Operating Instructions

The ABCCANOPY Garden Gazebo is designed for ease of use and versatility.

• Mesh Netting Operation: The mesh curtains feature zippers, allowing you to fully enclose the gazebo for protection against insects or to tie them back to create an open, airy space.
• Ventilation: The double-tiered vented roof design promotes airflow, reducing heat buildup and increasing comfort within the gazebo.
• Accessory Hook: A hook is located at the center of the roof frame, suitable for hanging lightweight accessories such as a portable fan or a lighting fixture (ensure weight limits are observed and electrical safety precautions are followed).

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your gazebo.

• Cleaning the Canopy and Mesh: Clean the fabric components with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
• Frame Care: The powder-coated stainless steel frame is rust-resistant. However, regularly wipe down the frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Inspect for any scratches or chips in the coating and touch up if necessary to prevent rust.
• Fastener Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed.
• Winter Storage: For prolonged durability, especially in regions with harsh winters, it is recommended to disassemble and store the canopy fabric and mesh netting indoors during the off-season. The frame can typically remain outdoors if properly anchored and maintained.
• Drainage Holes: Ensure the drainage holes on the canopy are clear of leaves and debris to prevent water pooling.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your gazebo.

• Issue: Water accumulation on canopy.
  Solution: Ensure the canopy is tautly installed and that the drainage holes are clear of any obstructions. The lace design helps prevent pooling, but proper tension is crucial.
• Issue: Gazebo feels unstable in wind.
  Solution: Verify that the gazebo is securely anchored to the ground using all provided stakes. In very windy conditions, consider adding additional weights to the legs or temporarily disassembling the canopy.
• Issue: Mesh netting zipper is stuck or difficult to operate.
  Solution: Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth if it's stiff.
