4. Setup and Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps carefully for proper assembly. It is recommended to have at least two people for this process.
- Site Selection: Choose a flat, level area for your gazebo. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the structure.
- Unpack Components: Lay out all frame parts, fabric, and hardware. Refer to the parts list to ensure everything is present.
- Assemble the Base Frame: Connect the horizontal base bars to the vertical leg posts according to the diagrams in your included printed manual. Secure all connections loosely at first.
- Install Roof Frame: Attach the roof support beams to the top of the leg posts. Gradually tighten all frame connections once the basic structure is formed.
- Attach Canopy Fabrics:
- First, place the smaller upper canopy onto the top roof frame, ensuring the netting between the tops is correctly positioned for ventilation.
- Next, spread the main canopy fabric over the roof frame. Ensure it is taut and aligned. Utilize the zipper design for easier fitting if applicable.
- Install Mosquito Netting and Privacy Curtains: Attach the mosquito netting and privacy curtains to the dual-track system on the gazebo frame. Ensure zippers are functional and Velcro straps are accessible for organization.
- Secure the Gazebo:
- For concrete surfaces, use the provided expansion bolts to anchor each leg securely.
- For soft ground (lawn, garden), use the ground stakes and attach the wind ropes to the D-rings at the four corners, securing them to the ground.
- Final Check: Verify all connections are tight and the gazebo is stable.

5. Operating Instructions
- Mosquito Netting: Use the zippers to open or close the mosquito netting to protect against insects.
- Privacy Curtains: The privacy curtains can be zipped closed for full privacy or tied back using the Velcro straps for an open feel.
- Decoration Hooks: Utilize the integrated hooks on the roof frame for hanging lightweight decorations such as string lights or small fans. The maximum weight capacity for these hooks is 44 lbs.
- Corner D-Rings: The D-rings at the four corners can be used for additional wind ropes or to hang decorative items like wind chimes.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning Fabric: Clean the canopy and curtains with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow fabric to air dry completely before storage.
- Frame Care: Wipe the galvanized iron frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Inspect for rust or damage periodically.
- Water Drainage: The gazebo roof is designed with water leakage holes to prevent water accumulation. Regularly check these holes to ensure they are clear of debris.
- Seasonal Storage: For prolonged lifespan, especially during winter or extended periods of non-use, it is recommended to remove the canopy fabric and store it in a dry, protected area.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and anchoring points to ensure they remain tight and secure.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gazebo feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose connections; insufficient anchoring; uneven ground. | Ensure all bolts are tightened. Verify expansion bolts/stakes are properly installed. Relocate to a level surface if necessary. Use wind ropes for added stability. |
| Water pooling on the roof. | Drainage holes are blocked; canopy not taut. | Clear any debris from water leakage holes. Re-adjust canopy to ensure it is stretched tightly over the frame. |
| Mosquitoes or insects entering. | Netting not fully closed; gaps in netting. | Ensure all zippers on the mosquito netting are fully closed. Check for any tears or gaps in the netting and repair if found. |
| Difficulty zipping curtains/netting. | Fabric caught in zipper; zipper misalignment. | Gently pull fabric away from the zipper path. Ensure the fabric is aligned correctly before zipping. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if zipper is stiff. |
