4. Setup Instructions

The COBIZI Pop Up Gazebo is designed for quick and easy assembly, often achievable by one person in under 50 seconds. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Spread Out the Gazebo: Place the folded gazebo on a flat, level surface. Pull the hub-support straps on each panel outwards to begin spreading out the gazebo frame.
2. Raise the Center Hub: Once the base is partially expanded, push the top center hub upwards until it locks securely into place. Ensure all frame joints are fully extended and locked.
3. Install Eave Support Rods: Attach the eave support rods to the designated points on the canopy frame. These rods help to strengthen the stability of the canopy.
4. Secure the Gazebo: Use the provided ground nails (stakes) to anchor the gazebo's base to the ground. Attach the wind ropes to the designated loops on the canopy and stake them into the ground at an angle to provide additional stability against wind.
5. Install Door Frame Rods: Insert the door frame rods into the sleeves around the door openings. Note that door frame rods may be gray or black and are installed according to their design.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your COBIZI gazebo:

• Cleaning: Clean the fabric with a mild soap and water solution. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material and its protective coatings. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before packing away.
• Storage: Always ensure the gazebo is completely dry before folding and storing it in its carrying bag. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent mildew and material degradation.
• Frame Care: Periodically check the metal frame for any signs of rust or damage. Clean any dirt or debris from the joints and moving parts.
• Weather Protection: While the gazebo is waterproof and UV-resistant, it is not designed for permanent installation or extreme weather. Pack it away during heavy rain, strong winds, or snow to prevent damage.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Difficulty with Setup: Ensure the gazebo is laid out correctly before expanding. If the fabric appears to be inside out, carefully reverse the orientation of the frame and fabric before attempting to expand. Two people may be required for initial setup if the fabric is misaligned.
• Gazebo Instability: Always use all provided ground nails and wind ropes to secure the gazebo. In windy conditions, consider adding extra weight bags (not included) to the legs for enhanced stability. The design allows for collapse in extreme winds to prevent damage; ensure proper anchoring to mitigate this.
• Mosquitoes Entering: The screen tent provides protection from most flying insects. However, as there is no sealed bottom, small insects may enter from underneath. For maximum protection, ensure the base is as close to the ground as possible and consider placing a ground tarp inside.
• Zipper Operation: If zippers are stiff, apply a silicone-based lubricant. Operate zippers slowly and with two hands if necessary to prevent snagging or damage.
• Bright Interior: The starry sky top is designed to allow light through for an open feel. If you desire more shade, consider positioning the gazebo to maximize natural shade or using additional external shade solutions.
• Damaged or Missing Parts: Inspect all components upon arrival. If any parts are rusted, damaged, or missing, contact customer service immediately for assistance.
