4.3. Canopy and Fabric Installation
- Unfold the main roof canopy. Carefully place it over the assembled roof frame. Ensure the canopy is oriented correctly.
- Secure the main canopy to the frame using the integrated straps or ties. Ensure it is taut to prevent water pooling.
- Install the upper canopy onto the smaller top frame. This forms the double-roof ventilation system. Secure it in place.
- Attach the mosquito netting panels to the frame. The gazebo features a dual-track system, allowing separate operation of netting and privacy screens. Use the zippers to connect adjacent netting panels.
- Attach the privacy screen panels to the outer track. Use the zippers to connect adjacent privacy screens for full enclosure.
- Utilize the elastic buckles and Velcro straps to tie back the netting and privacy screens when not in use.

4.4. Anchoring
- For concrete surfaces, use the provided expansion bolts to secure each leg of the gazebo. Drill appropriate holes and follow bolt installation instructions.
- For grass or soft ground, use the ground stakes to firmly anchor each leg.
- Attach the wind ropes to the corner D-rings and secure them to the ground using additional stakes for enhanced stability in windy conditions.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning the Canopy and Fabric: Clean the polyester fabric with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
- Frame Care: Wipe the galvanized iron frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Inspect for any signs of rust or damage.
- Anchoring Inspection: Periodically check all anchoring points (expansion bolts, ground stakes, wind ropes) to ensure they are secure. Re-tighten or re-anchor as necessary.
- Winter Storage: In regions with heavy snow or extreme cold, it is recommended to remove the canopy and fabric components for storage indoors to prolong their lifespan. Clean and dry all fabric parts before storing.
- Water Drainage: The roof is designed with water leakage holes to prevent pooling. Ensure these holes remain clear of debris.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gazebo feels unstable or sways in wind. | Insufficient anchoring; loose frame connections. | Ensure all expansion bolts/stakes are firmly secured. Re-tighten all frame hardware. Use wind ropes for added stability. |
| Water pooling on the roof. | Canopy not taut; water leakage holes blocked. | Re-adjust canopy to ensure it is stretched tightly over the frame. Clear any debris from water leakage holes. |
| Difficulty installing the canopy. | Canopy orientation incorrect; insufficient stretching. | Verify the canopy is oriented correctly. It may require significant effort to stretch the fabric tightly over the frame for a secure fit. Ensure all corners are properly aligned. |
| Mosquitoes or insects entering. | Netting not fully closed; gaps in netting. | Ensure all netting panels are zipped together completely. Check for any small gaps and adjust panels as needed. |
