Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the lifespan of your Aoxun Hardtop Gazebo.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the metal frame and roof panels with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots and corrosion.
- Fabric Care: The polyester curtains and netting can be spot cleaned with a mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, they may be removed and hand washed. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching to prevent mildew.
- Fastener Checks: Periodically inspect all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
- Anchoring: Always ensure the gazebo is securely anchored to a stable foundation, especially in windy conditions.
Weather Resistance
The galvanized steel roof provides UV protection, is waterproof, and snow-resistant, designed to withstand various weather conditions.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you encounter any issues during or after assembly, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Misaligned Holes: During roof panel assembly, some holes may not align perfectly. It is crucial to keep all screws loose until all panels are in place. This allows for flexibility to adjust and align the components before final tightening.
- Netting Gaps: If the netting does not appear flush or allows insects through, ensure all attachment points are correctly secured. While designed for protection, minor gaps may occur. Consider additional sealing methods if necessary.
- Stability Concerns: Ensure the gazebo is anchored to a solid surface using the provided expansion bolts or other suitable anchoring methods. Regularly check the tightness of all structural fasteners.
- Missing or Damaged Parts: If any parts are missing or damaged upon arrival, please contact Aoxun customer service immediately for assistance.
