5. Care and Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Sojag Ventura Gazebo.

5.1 Weather Considerations

• The gazebo's powder-coated aluminum frame and galvanized steel roof are designed to withstand tough weather conditions and can be left up year-round.
• The frame is UV-treated and rust-resistant to prevent fading and corrosion.

5.2 Cleaning

• Clean the frame with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
• The mosquito netting can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely before retracting or storing.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and materials.
