3. Safety Guidelines
- Ensure the gazebo structure is securely anchored to prevent tipping over, especially in windy conditions.
- Avoid overloading the gazebo structure with additional items or excessive weight.
- Exercise caution during the assembly and disassembly of the netting to prevent injury.
- Follow all handling instructions for the netting components.
- Maintain a safe distance from open flames. Although the fabric is CPAI-84 US Standard fire-retardant, it is not fireproof.
4. Package Contents
Please verify that all items listed below are present in your package:
- 1x APEX GARDEN Mosquito Netting (Black)
- Plastic J-shape hooks (pre-attached or included separately)
5. Setup and Installation
Prerequisites: Ensure your Allen + roth Gazebo Model #GF-18S112B is fully assembled and has the necessary steel slide rails installed. This netting requires these rails for proper attachment.
- Unpack: Carefully remove the mosquito netting and J-shape hooks from the packaging.
- Identify Panels: The netting consists of multiple panels designed to fit each side of your gazebo. Orient the panels correctly.
- Attach Hooks: If not pre-attached, insert the plastic J-shape hooks into the grommets located along the top edge of each netting panel.
- Hang Netting: Starting from one corner, slide the J-shape hooks into the steel slide rails of your gazebo. Ensure the netting hangs evenly and smoothly around the perimeter.
- Secure Sides: Zip the panels together where they meet at the gazebo posts to create a continuous, enclosed space.
- Adjust: Adjust the netting to ensure it reaches the ground and provides full coverage, minimizing any gaps.

6. Operating Instructions
- Insect Protection: To effectively deter insects, ensure all netting panels are zipped closed, creating a complete enclosure.
- Access: Utilize the zippered openings on the netting for convenient entry and exit from the gazebo.
- Tying Back: When an open-air environment is desired, or when the netting is not needed, gather the panels and secure them to the gazebo posts using the integrated fabric ties.

7. Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the netting periodically with a mild soap solution and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before storing or re-installing. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, such as during off-season or severe weather, remove the netting, clean it, and store it in a dry, protected area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prolong its lifespan.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the netting fabric, zippers, and hooks for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. Replace damaged components as needed to maintain effectiveness.
8. Troubleshooting
- Netting Does Not Fit:
- Verify your gazebo model number. This netting is specifically designed for Allen + roth Model #GF-18S112B / #0875051.
- Ensure you have the required steel slide rails installed on your gazebo, as this netting attaches to them.
- Gaps at Bottom / Bugs Getting Under:
- Ensure the netting is properly installed and stretched to its full extent around the gazebo perimeter.
- Check for any obstructions preventing the netting from hanging straight to the ground.
- Consider adding weights to the bottom hem or securing the bottom edge if necessary (user modification).
- Zipper Issues:
- Ensure zipper teeth are aligned before attempting to zip.
- Avoid forcing zippers if they snag. Gently work them free to prevent damage.
