Operating Instructions
Curtains and Netting:
The gazebo includes both inner polyester netting and outer privacy curtains, operating on a built-in dual rail system. This allows for flexible use, providing ventilation, insect protection, or full privacy as needed.
- Inner Netting: Use the inner polyester netting to keep insects out while maintaining ventilation. The netting can be zipped closed for full enclosure.
- Outer Curtains: The 180g polyester curtains offer privacy and can help block wind. They can be closed for a fully enclosed space or tied back with the provided Velcro straps.
- Dual Rail System: Both the netting and curtains run on separate tracks, allowing them to be opened or closed independently.
- Windproof Hooks: Utilize the windproof hooks for added security, especially when curtains are closed.

Roof Hooks:
The gazebo roof is equipped with five J-shaped hooks. These hooks are designed for hanging various items such as lights, fans, or decorative elements.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the aluminum frame with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Clean the galvanized steel roof as needed to remove debris.
- Curtains and Netting: The polyester curtains and netting can be spot cleaned with mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, follow care instructions on the fabric tags. Ensure they are completely dry before storing or closing for extended periods to prevent mildew.
- Anchoring: Periodically check all anchoring points and screws to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Winter Care: While the galvanized steel roof is designed to withstand snow, it is advisable to clear excessive snow accumulation to prevent structural stress. Consider removing curtains and netting during harsh winter months to prolong their lifespan.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gazebo feels unstable. | Anchoring not secure; loose connections. | Ensure all ground nails and expansion screws are properly installed and tightened. Check all frame connections and tighten bolts. |
| Curtains/netting do not close smoothly. | Debris in tracks; misaligned fabric. | Clean the dual rail system tracks. Adjust curtains/netting to ensure they are properly aligned on their respective hooks. |
| Water leakage from roof. | Improper roof panel installation; loose screws. | Verify all roof panels are correctly overlapped and secured according to assembly instructions. Tighten any loose screws on the roof structure. |
| Fading of curtains. | Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. | This is a natural process for outdoor fabrics. Consider using UV protectant sprays or removing curtains during periods of intense sun exposure to minimize fading. |
