Setup and Assembly

The Arcadia Gazebo is designed for straightforward assembly with pre-cut, pre-drilled, and pre-stained pieces. For the most detailed and interactive instructions, it is highly recommended to utilize the BILT app.

Alternatively, download the BILT app from the App Store or Google Play.

While designed for ease of assembly, it is recommended to have at least two people for certain stages of construction, especially when handling larger components like the roof sections. Ensure your chosen installation area has a perfectly level and square foundation before beginning assembly to prevent alignment issues and ensure structural integrity.

• To use, ensure the PowerPort is securely mounted to one of the gazebo posts as per assembly instructions.
• Connect a suitable outdoor-rated extension cord (not included) from a grounded power source to the PowerPort.
• Use the electrical outlets for devices such as outdoor lighting, small appliances, or entertainment systems.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance, structural integrity, and longevity of your Arcadia Gazebo.

• Wood Care: The cedar wood is naturally resistant to rot and decay. However, applying a wood sealant or stain periodically (e.g., every 1-2 years, depending on climate) can help maintain its original color and provide additional protection against UV rays and moisture.
• Roof Care: The galvanized steel roof is designed for dent and corrosion resistance. Periodically inspect the roof for any debris accumulation (leaves, branches) and clear it to ensure proper water runoff. Check for any loose fasteners on the roof panels and tighten as needed.
• General Cleaning: Clean the wood and steel surfaces with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or high-pressure washers that could damage the finish or wood.
• Anchoring: Regularly inspect the anchoring points to ensure the gazebo remains securely fastened to your foundation, especially after strong winds, heavy snow, or other significant weather events.
