To ensure safe operation and prevent injury or damage, adhere to the following safety guidelines:

5. Operating Your Gazebo

Your Aoxun gazebo is designed for ease of use and versatility, allowing you to adapt your outdoor space to different needs and weather conditions.

5.1 Curtains and Netting

The gazebo features both privacy curtains and mosquito netting. These can be operated independently to provide shade, privacy, or protection from insects. Simply slide them along their respective tracks. When not in use, the curtains can be tied back to the columns.

5.2 Drainage System

The galvanized steel double roof is equipped with a professional drainage system. This design allows rainwater to flow efficiently from the edge of the gazebo top into the poles and then to the ground, preventing water accumulation and ensuring the longevity of the structure.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Aoxun gazebo.

• Cleaning: Clean the frame and roof panels with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Curtains and Netting: The polyester curtains and netting can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. For deeper cleaning, follow the care instructions on the fabric tags. Ensure they are completely dry before storing or closing for extended periods to prevent mildew.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
• Seasonal Care: While designed for all-weather use, it is advisable to clear heavy snow accumulation from the roof to prevent excessive load. In extremely high winds, consider securing or temporarily removing curtains and netting.
