• Placement: Ensure proper drainage around the gazebo to prevent water accumulation.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your gazebo.

• Cleaning: Clean the galvanized steel roof and aluminum frame with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Fabric Care: The polyester curtains and netting can be spot cleaned with mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, they may be removed and hand washed. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching or storing to prevent mildew.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight and secure.
• Winter Care: While the roof is designed to withstand up to 20 lbs of snow per square foot, it is recommended to clear excessive snow accumulation to prevent structural stress.
• Electrical Components: Keep the outlet panel cover closed when not in use to protect against moisture and debris.
