5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan and appearance of your gazebo.

• Cleaning: Clean the polycarbonate panels and aluminum frame with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the surfaces. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Snow Removal: Promptly remove excess snow from the roof to prevent structural strain, especially if snow accumulation exceeds 5 lbs per square foot.
• Fastener Check: Periodically inspect all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.
• Rust Prevention: The heavy-duty construction features 8-level salt spray resistance, ensuring the frame remains rust-free. However, regular cleaning helps maintain this protection.

6. Troubleshooting

• Leaking Roof: Ensure all roof panels are correctly seated and all sealing strips are properly installed. Check that all screws securing the panels are tightened.
• Instability/Wobbling: Verify that all frame connections are secure and all ground anchors are properly installed. In windy areas, consider additional securing methods as mentioned in the safety section.
• Missing or Damaged Parts: If you encounter missing or damaged parts during unpacking or assembly, please contact customer support immediately for assistance.
• Difficulty Assembling: Refer to the detailed diagrams in the manual and the assembly videos. Ensure you have sufficient help (2-3 people recommended) and the necessary tools. Do not force parts together.
