Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your gazebo, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gazebo instability / Frame bending | Insufficient anchoring; strong winds; improper assembly. | Ensure all stakes and tension ropes are securely fastened. Disassemble in strong winds. Verify all frame connections are tight. |
| Water pooling on roof / Leaks | Tarp not taut enough; heavy rain exceeding design capacity. | Adjust tarp to be as taut as possible to prevent water accumulation. This gazebo is designed for light rain; disassemble during heavy downpours. |
| Tears in fabric / Damaged seams | Excessive tension; sharp objects; prolonged exposure to harsh weather. | Avoid over-tightening. Inspect area before setup. Store when not in use. Small tears can be repaired with waterproof patch kits. |
| Difficulty with assembly/disassembly | Incorrect component alignment; lack of assistance. | Refer to assembly instructions carefully. Ensure components are correctly oriented. Assembly requires at least two people. |
