4. Operation

Your Aoxun Hardtop Gazebo is designed for versatile outdoor use, offering comfort and protection.

• Double Roof System: The double-layer polycarbonate top provides excellent airflow and helps prevent harmful UV rays. The sloped design ensures rainwater slides off, preventing accumulation.
• Curtains and Netting: The removable 135g polyester curtains offer protection from sun, rain, and can help retain warmth. The zipped netting effectively prevents mosquitoes while allowing air ventilation. You can adjust these to create an open view or a private space.
• Ceiling Hooks: The gazebo roof includes U-shaped and J-shaped hooks for hanging lights, fans, or decorative items.

5. Maintenance

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

• Cleaning the Frame: The aluminum frame is resistant to scratching, peeling, corrosion, and rust. Clean with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Cleaning the Roof: The polycarbonate roof panels can be cleaned with water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the material.
• Curtains and Netting Care: The polyester curtains and netting are removable for cleaning. Follow care instructions on the fabric tags.
• Seasonal Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and anchoring points to ensure they remain tight and secure.
• Winter Preparation: While designed for all-weather use, consider removing curtains and netting during heavy snow or strong winds to prevent damage. Clear heavy snow accumulation from the roof to prevent structural stress.
