2. Safety Information
Always follow these safety guidelines to prevent injury or damage to the product:
- Assembly: Always assemble the gazebo with at least two adults. Ensure all parts are correctly aligned and securely fastened before use.
- Location: Choose a flat, level surface for installation. Avoid placing the gazebo under power lines, trees, or other structures that could fall onto it.
- Weather Conditions: This gazebo is designed for fair weather conditions. Do not use it during strong winds, heavy rain, hail, or snow. Disassemble or secure the gazebo properly in adverse weather to prevent damage or injury.
- Anchoring: Always anchor the gazebo securely to the ground using the provided stakes or other suitable anchoring methods.
- Fire Safety: Keep all flame and heat sources away from the gazebo fabric. The fabric is not fireproof.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the gazebo for loose parts, damage, or wear. Replace damaged components immediately.
- Children: Keep children away from the assembly area. Do not allow children to climb on or play with the gazebo structure.
3. Package Contents
Before beginning assembly, verify that all components are present and undamaged. If any parts are missing or damaged, do not proceed with assembly and contact customer support.
Typical components include:
- Steel frame poles (various lengths and shapes)
- Connectors and joints
- Main canopy fabric
- Top canopy fabric (vented)
- Curtains (with ties)
- Ground stakes or anchors
- Assembly hardware (bolts, nuts, washers, pins)
- Assembly tools (e.g., wrench, hex key - may or may not be included)
Refer to the detailed parts list in your packaging for exact quantities and identification.
4. Setup and Assembly
Assembly typically requires two adults and approximately 2-3 hours. Follow the numbered steps carefully.
- Prepare the Area: Choose a clear, level area free from obstructions. Lay out all components and identify them according to the parts list.
- Assemble the Roof Frame: Connect the shorter steel poles and connectors to form the upper roof structure. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Attach the Canopies: Drape the smaller top canopy over the upper roof frame, securing it at the corners. Then, place the main canopy over the larger roof frame, ensuring it is taut and properly aligned. Secure the canopy to the frame as per instructions (e.g., with Velcro straps or ties).
- Assemble the Leg Posts: Connect the longer steel poles to form the vertical leg posts.
- Connect Roof to Legs: With assistance, carefully lift the assembled roof frame and connect it to the top of the leg posts. Secure all connections with the provided hardware.
- Attach Curtains: Hang the curtains from the designated rails or hooks on the frame. Ensure they can slide freely.
- Anchor the Gazebo: Once fully assembled, anchor each leg securely to the ground using the provided ground stakes. For added stability, especially on hard surfaces, consider using sandbags or weights on each leg.
- Final Check: Double-check all connections, bolts, and anchors to ensure they are tight and secure before using the gazebo.

5. Operating Instructions
Using your NATERIAL OXIS Garden Gazebo is straightforward:
- Curtain Usage: The gazebo is equipped with curtains for privacy and protection. You can draw them closed around the perimeter or tie them back to the leg posts using the integrated ties for an open feel.
- Securing in Mild Weather: Even in mild weather, ensure the gazebo is properly anchored. If light breezes are present, tying back the curtains can help reduce wind resistance.
- Preparing for Adverse Weather: In anticipation of strong winds or heavy rain, it is highly recommended to remove the canopy and curtains to prevent damage to the fabric and the frame. If severe weather is expected, complete disassembly is advised.

6. Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your gazebo:
- Cleaning the Canopy and Curtains: Clean the fabric with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the steel frame with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
- Rust Prevention: Although the steel frame is resistant to rust, inspect it periodically for any signs of corrosion. Touch up any scratches or exposed metal with rust-inhibiting paint.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary.
- Winter Storage: For prolonged periods of non-use, especially during winter or severe weather seasons, it is highly recommended to disassemble the gazebo. Clean all fabric components and ensure they are completely dry before folding and storing them in a cool, dry place. Store frame components in a dry area to prevent rust.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gazebo feels unstable or wobbly. | Not properly anchored; loose connections; uneven ground. | Ensure all legs are securely anchored. Check and tighten all frame connections. Move to a level surface if possible. |
| Water pooling on the canopy. | Canopy not taut enough; improper assembly; heavy rain. | Ensure the canopy is stretched tightly over the frame. Recheck assembly steps. Remove canopy during heavy rain. |
| Curtains do not slide smoothly. | Obstruction in the rail; dirty rail; damaged hooks. | Inspect the rail for debris and clean it. Check curtain hooks for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Difficulty assembling parts. | Incorrect orientation; burrs on poles; missing hardware. | Refer to the assembly diagram and ensure correct orientation. Check for and remove any burrs. Verify all hardware is present. |
