6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your gazebo:

• Cleaning Fabric: Clean the fabric top, netting, and curtains with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry completely before storage.
• Cleaning Frame: Wipe down the steel and aluminum frame with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent.
• Seasonal Storage: During off-seasons or prolonged periods of non-use, it is recommended to disassemble and store the gazebo in a dry, protected area to prevent weather damage and extend its lifespan.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Inspect the fabric for any tears or damage.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Gazebo Feels Unstable:
  Solution: Ensure all frame connections are tightened. Verify that the sandbags are filled and properly attached. Consider anchoring the gazebo to the ground using the pre-drilled bases on the leg poles.
• Fabric Top Does Not Fit:
  Solution: Double-check that the frame is assembled correctly according to the instructions. Ensure the fabric top is oriented correctly and stretched evenly over the frame.
• Zippers are Sticking:
