2. Important Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before assembly and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or property damage.

• Professional Assistance: If you are unsure about any part of the assembly or anchoring process, consult with a qualified professional.
• Weather Conditions: While designed for durability, extreme weather conditions (e.g., severe storms, hurricanes, excessive snow accumulation beyond specified limits) may require additional precautions or temporary disassembly.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect all bolts, connections, and anchoring points to ensure they remain secure.
• Weight Distribution: Do not hang heavy objects from the gazebo frame or roof.

3. Setup and Assembly

The AECOJOY Gazebo Pergola is designed for effortless installation. Detailed manuals and step-by-step video tutorials are available to guide you through the process. Our expert technical team is also available for remote assistance if needed.

3.1 Key Assembly Considerations

• Wall Attachment: This gazebo is designed to attach to a wall, providing enhanced stability compared to freestanding structures. All necessary accessories for wall attachment are provided.
• Ground Anchoring: Securely fix and stabilize the gazebo on the ground as instructed. This is crucial for stability, especially in windy conditions (up to 70 mph wind resistance).
• UV Panels: The roof panels are UV resistant. During assembly, ensure the side with the UV sticker is facing upwards. Remove the protective film from the panels just before installation to prevent damage.
• Hardware: Ensure all bolts and nuts are present and properly tightened. Some threaded holes may contain paint; clear them if necessary for smooth assembly. Using a drill with low torque can assist in tightening.
• Panel Insertion: For easier insertion of roof panels into connector slots, a solution of soap and water can be applied.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AECOJOY Gazebo Pergola, regular maintenance is recommended.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the roof panels and frame to remove dirt, leaves, and debris. A soft cloth with mild soap and water is generally sufficient. For leaves and light debris, a blower can be used.
• Structural Integrity: Regularly check all connections, bolts, and anchoring points for tightness. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain structural stability.
• Snow Removal: In areas with heavy snowfall, it is advisable to clear excessive snow accumulation from the roof to prevent strain on the structure, especially if it exceeds the 7-inch capacity.
• Water Drainage: Ensure the inclined design allows for proper water runoff and that no water pools on the roof.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or use, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Missing or Damaged Parts: Carefully check all package contents against the parts list provided in your detailed manual. Contact customer support immediately if any parts are missing or damaged.
• Difficulty with Screws/Nuts: Ensure all threaded holes are clear of paint or debris. Use appropriate tools and avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping screw heads.
• Roof Panel Installation: If panels are difficult to slide into place, apply a small amount of soapy water to the edges as a lubricant. Always ensure the UV-protected side (indicated by a sticker) faces upwards.
• Stability Concerns: Verify that all legs are properly anchored to the ground and that the gazebo is securely attached to the wall as per instructions. Ensure all structural bolts are tightened.
• Water Leaks: While designed to be waterproof, minor drips can sometimes occur. Inspect panel seams and connections for any gaps and apply a suitable sealant if necessary.
