2. Safety Information

It is crucial to prioritize safety during assembly and use of the gazebo. Please read and understand all instructions before beginning assembly.

• Assembly Personnel: It is recommended to have at least 2-3 people for assembly to ensure safety and ease of installation.
• Weather Conditions: While the gazebo is designed to withstand certain weather conditions, users should exercise caution during extreme weather. Follow local weather guidelines for outdoor structures.
• Anchoring: Securely anchor the gazebo to the ground using appropriate stakes or bolts through the pre-drilled base plates on each post. Stakes are not included.
• Sharp Edges: Be aware of potential sharp edges on metal components during assembly. Wear appropriate protective gloves.
• Weight Capacity: The built-in hook has a maximum capacity of 25 lbs. Do not exceed this weight.

3. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Domi Hardtop Gazebo requires patience and careful attention to the instructions. It is highly recommended to have multiple people assist with the process.

3.1 Preparation

• Unpacking: Carefully unpack all components. It is advisable to lay out and catalog all parts, bolts, and screws by their codes before starting assembly. This can take several hours.
• Tools: A cordless drill with appropriate bits will significantly speed up assembly compared to using only the provided wrench.
• Location: Choose a level and stable surface for installation. Ensure adequate space around the gazebo for assembly.

3.2 Assembly Steps

1. Follow the provided manual sequentially. Do not skip steps or attempt shortcuts, as this can lead to misalignment.
2. Pay close attention to the orientation of parts, especially brackets and frame sections, to avoid assembling them backward.
3. When attaching roof panels, ensure squareness of the frame. Even slight misalignment can prevent panels from fitting correctly. Using painter's tape can help hold smaller panels in place during bolt threading.
4. Securely fasten all bolts and screws.
5. Once the frame is assembled, attach the roof panels, ensuring proper overlap for water drainage.
6. Install the mosquito netting and privacy curtains.
7. Anchor the gazebo to the ground using the pre-drilled holes in the base plates of the posts.
