4. Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the EAGLE PEAK 11x13 Hardtop Gazebo requires more than 2 people and can take several hours. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the separate assembly guide included with your product. Below are general guidelines and important considerations:

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and beauty of your gazebo.
6.1 Cedar Wood Frame Maintenance
The cedar wood frame is naturally weather-resistant. However, routine maintenance is encouraged to ensure long-lasting resilience and appearance. Apply a water-based exterior wood sealant or exterior paint periodically to protect the wood from moisture and UV damage.
6.2 Galvanized Steel Roof Maintenance
The rust-resistant galvanized steel roof requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the roof for any debris accumulation and clear it as needed. Ensure all fasteners securing the roof panels are tight. The roof features Anti-UV, Waterproof, and Anti-aging layers for enhanced durability.
