Operating Instructions

Curtains and Netting:

The gazebo includes two sets of sidewalls: insect netting and privacy curtains. Both operate on a dual-track system, allowing them to be opened, closed, or tied back as desired.

• To close the netting or curtains, simply slide them along the track and zip them together.
• To open, unzip and tie them back to the gazebo posts using the provided straps.
• The insect netting provides protection from bugs while maintaining airflow.
• The privacy curtains offer shade and seclusion.

Roof Ventilation and Drainage:

The double-roof design allows for continuous airflow, reducing heat buildup and enhancing comfort. The sloped roof panels facilitate efficient rainwater runoff, preventing accumulation.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your gazebo.

• Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the aluminum and steel frame with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots.
• Cleaning Roof Panels: Periodically clean the galvanized steel roof panels to remove leaves, debris, and dirt. Use a soft brush or cloth with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the finish.
• Curtains and Netting Care: The fabric curtains and netting can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Ensure they are completely dry before storing or closing for extended periods to prevent mildew.
• Fastener Inspection: Annually, or after severe weather, check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary.
• Winter Care: In areas with heavy snowfall, it is recommended to remove accumulated snow from the roof to prevent excessive weight and potential damage.

Troubleshooting

• Loose Connections: If the gazebo feels unstable, check all bolted connections and tighten any loose hardware.
• Water Accumulation on Roof: Ensure roof panels are correctly installed and aligned to allow for proper drainage. Clear any debris from the gutters or roof surface that might impede water flow.
• Curtains/Netting Not Sliding Smoothly: Check the tracks for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the fabric is not caught or twisted.
• Missing or Damaged Parts: If you discover missing or damaged parts during assembly, contact Domi customer service for assistance.
