Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your gazebo.

• Cleaning: Clean the frame and roof panels periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Snow Removal: Regularly clear snow from the roof to prevent excessive weight accumulation, which can cause structural damage.
• Curtains & Nettings: Remove curtains and nettings during strong winds or heavy snowfall to prevent damage. Clean them as needed according to fabric care instructions.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary.
• Drainage System: Ensure the eaves and drainage holes are clear of debris to allow for proper water runoff.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Roof Leaks: If the roof panels leak, inspect the seams where panels slide into the tracking system. Apply a compatible sealant between each track slot and panel to ensure no gaps for water to enter.
• Missing Parts: If you discover missing parts during assembly, refer to the parts list in your manual and contact YOLENY customer service for assistance.
• Instability: Ensure the gazebo is installed on level ground and all anchoring bolts are firmly secured. Check that all frame connections are tight.
