Setup: Assembly Instructions
Assembly requires at least two adults. Follow these steps carefully for proper setup.
Step 1: Post Assembly
Connect the Left Up Screen (#1) to the Left Down Screen (#2) and the Right Up Screen (#3) to the Right Down Screen (#4) to form the four main posts of the gazebo. Ensure the parts align correctly and secure them as shown in the diagram.

Step 2: Beam Assembly
Attach the Left Beams (#5) and Right Beams (#6) to the top of the assembled posts. These beams will form the upper perimeter of the gazebo frame. Ensure all connections are secure.

Step 3: Top Tube Assembly
Assemble the Top Up Tubes (#7) and Top Down Tubes (#8) and connect them to the Roof Connector (#9). This forms the central roof structure. Then, attach this assembly to the main frame, ensuring all connections are firm. Finally, secure the Finials (#14) to the top of the posts for decorative and structural completion.

Step 4: Canopy and Netting Assembly
Drape the Fabric Cover (#10) over the assembled roof frame. Ensure it is centered and evenly distributed. Secure the fabric cover to the frame using the provided hooks (#13) and any integrated fasteners. Next, attach the Netting (#11) around the perimeter of the gazebo, hanging it from the upper truss sections. Ensure the netting is properly aligned and can be zipped closed for full enclosure.

Step 5: Securing the Gazebo
Once the gazebo is fully assembled, use the Stake Kit (#12) to secure the base of each post to the ground. This is crucial for stability, especially in moderate wind conditions. For additional security, consider anchoring the gazebo to a deck or concrete slab if available.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your gazebo.
- Cleaning: Clean the polyester roof and curtains with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
