6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your gazebo.
- Cleaning the Canopy: Clean the polyester canopy with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry completely before storage.
- Frame Care: Wipe the powder-coated steel frame with a damp cloth. Inspect for any scratches or rust spots and touch up with appropriate paint if necessary to prevent further corrosion.
- Seasonal Storage: For prolonged periods of non-use or during harsh weather seasons (e.g., winter), it is recommended to disassemble the canopy and store it in a dry, protected area. Ensure all fabric components are clean and dry before storage to prevent mold or mildew.

- Curtains/Netting Not Sliding Smoothly: Check the tracks for any debris or obstructions. Ensure the fabric is not caught or twisted. Lubricate tracks with a silicone-based spray if needed.
