6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Aoxun Hardtop Gazebo.
- Frame Cleaning: Clean the aluminum frame with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Roof Panel Cleaning: Gently clean polycarbonate panels with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Do not use brushes or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
