1. Important Safety Information
Please read all instructions carefully before assembly and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage.
- Regardless of the surface on which the gazebo is installed, it is essential to use ground nails, ropes, and expansion screws to ensure the stability of the gazebo. This is to prevent the gazebo from collapsing and causing harm to individuals inside or nearby, as well as property damage.
- Please do not use the gazebo in high winds, heavy snow, or severe weather conditions. The gazebo's design is not intended to withstand strong winds, heavy snow, or other severe weather. Precautions must be taken when wind speeds exceed 25 mph, and accumulated snow exceeds 2 inches.
- Before use, thoroughly inspect the gazebo to ensure all bolts, nuts, and fasteners are securely tightened and properly fastened.
- The polycarbonate roof only blocks UV rays and cannot withstand high temperatures and intense light.
- We recommend mutual assistance during assembly.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your gazebo.

- The aluminum frame can be wiped down with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent.
- The polyester curtains and mesh panels can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. 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.
Seasonal Care:
- During periods of high winds (exceeding 25 mph) or heavy snow accumulation (exceeding 2 inches), it is recommended to remove the roof panels and curtains to prevent damage to the structure.
- Regularly check all bolts, nuts, and fasteners for tightness, especially after severe weather conditions.
