Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully for proper assembly. It is recommended to have at least two people for this process.

Step 1: Prepare the Assembly Area

Choose a flat, level surface for assembly. Clear the area of any obstructions and ensure sufficient space to work around the gazebo. Lay out a tarp or blanket to protect parts and prevent small hardware from getting lost.

Step 2: Identify Components and Dimensions

Familiarize yourself with the different parts and their dimensions. Refer to the diagram below for an overview of the gazebo's measurements, which are crucial for planning your installation space.

Step 3: Assemble the Main Frame

Begin by connecting the main support posts and crossbeams according to the detailed diagrams in your included manual. Ensure all connections are secure but do not fully tighten bolts until the entire frame is assembled and squared. The frame features a robust powder-coated steel structure for enhanced durability and rust resistance.

Step 4: Install the Roof Structure

Carefully attach the roof support beams and then the galvanized steel roof panels. The double-layered roof design is engineered to promote efficient air circulation, allowing smoke and heat to escape while grilling.

Step 5: Attach Side Shelves and Accessories

Secure the two side shelves to the main frame using the provided hardware. These shelves offer convenient storage space for grilling utensils, condiments, and prepared food. Install the built-in bottle opener on one of the posts at a comfortable height.

Step 6: Secure the Gazebo

Once the gazebo is fully assembled and all components are in place, ensure all bolts are securely tightened. Use the pre-drilled holes at the base of each post to secure the gazebo to a stable foundation using appropriate ground stakes or anchors (not included). This step is crucial for stability and safety, especially in windy conditions.

Operating Your Grill Gazebo

Using the Side Shelves

The two integrated side shelves are designed to hold grilling utensils, condiments, and prepared food, keeping them within easy reach. Do not exceed the recommended weight capacity for each shelf to prevent damage or instability.

Using the Bottle Opener

The built-in bottle opener provides a convenient and readily accessible tool for opening bottled beverages while you are grilling or entertaining.

Ventilation

The 2-tier ventilated roof is specifically designed to allow smoke and heat from your grill to escape efficiently, ensuring a more comfortable and enjoyable grilling environment under the gazebo.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Clean the frame and roof panels with a mild soap solution and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately to prevent water spots and mineral buildup. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scrubbers that could damage the finish.
• Seasonal Care: While designed for outdoor use, it is advisable to consider disassembling and storing the gazebo during periods of extreme weather conditions, such as heavy snow, prolonged freezing temperatures, or exceptionally strong winds, to prolong its lifespan and prevent potential damage.
• Fastener Check: Periodically inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners as necessary to maintain the structural integrity and stability of the gazebo.
• Rust Prevention: The frame features a rust-resistant coating. However, regularly inspect for any scratches or chips in the coating. Promptly touch up any damaged areas with appropriate outdoor-grade paint to prevent rust formation.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Gazebo is unstable after assembly.

Solution: Ensure all bolts and fasteners are fully tightened. Verify that the gazebo is placed on a flat, level surface. Secure the gazebo to the ground using appropriate stakes or anchors through the pre-drilled holes in the base plates (stakes/anchors not included).

Roof panels do not align correctly.

Solution: Loosen all roof panel fasteners slightly. Adjust the panels until they align properly, then re-tighten all fasteners evenly. Ensure the main frame was assembled squarely before installing roof panels.

Missing or damaged parts.

Solution: Refer to the "Package Contents" section to confirm all items. If parts are missing or damaged upon arrival, contact Domi customer service immediately for assistance with replacements.
