3. Setup and Assembly

The Sojag Monaco Gazebo requires assembly. It is recommended that two or more people participate in the assembly process due to the size and weight of some components. Refer to the detailed illustrated instructions provided in your separate assembly guide for step-by-step procedures.

Key Assembly Considerations:

• Site Preparation: Choose a level surface for installation. Ensure adequate clearance around the gazebo for safe assembly and use.
• Frame Assembly: Begin by assembling the main aluminum frame. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely but do not overtighten until the entire frame is aligned.
• Roof Installation: Install the galvanized steel roof panels according to the instructions. The double-tier roof design enhances airflow.
• Anchoring: Securely anchor the gazebo to the ground using the provided hardware or suitable alternatives for your specific surface (e.g., concrete anchors for a patio, ground stakes for grass).

4. Operating Instructions

Your Sojag Monaco Gazebo is designed for ease of use and comfort.

Curtains and Mosquito Netting

The gazebo includes high-quality spun polyester curtains and PVC-coated polyester mosquito netting. These can be easily deployed or retracted as needed.

• Privacy Curtains: Use the curtains for shade, privacy, or protection from light wind. They can be tied back to the posts when not in use.
• Mosquito Netting: The netting provides an effective barrier against insects, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space without interruption. Ensure all zippers are closed to create a complete enclosure.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Sojag Monaco Gazebo.

• Frame: Clean the aluminum frame with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Roof Panels: The galvanized steel roof panels are designed for durability. Clean them periodically to remove debris, leaves, or dirt.
• Curtains and Netting: These can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. For deeper cleaning, follow care instructions on the fabric tags. Ensure they are completely dry before storing or retracting for extended periods to prevent mildew.
• Seasonal Care: While designed as an all-season gazebo, it is advisable to remove any accumulated snow from the roof to prevent structural damage. In areas with severe winter weather, consider disassembling and storing the fabric components.
• Hardware: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your gazebo, consider the following common solutions:

• Instability: Ensure the gazebo is properly anchored to a level surface. Check all frame connections for tightness.
• Leaking Roof: Verify that all roof panels are correctly installed and overlapping as per the assembly instructions. Check for any loose screws or gaps.
• Curtains/Netting Not Moving Smoothly: Inspect the tracks or hanging mechanisms for obstructions or damage. Clean any dirt or debris.
• Missing Parts: If parts were missing upon delivery, contact Sojag customer support with your model number and a description of the missing components.
