4. Operating Your Gazebo

Polycarbonate Roof

The double-layer polycarbonate roof is designed to provide excellent waterproof and UV-resistant properties. It allows natural light to filter through, creating a comfortable environment while blocking harmful UV rays. The roof also features an integrated rainwater drainage system to prevent water accumulation and ensure long-term anti-rust performance of the frame.

Netting and Curtains

Your gazebo is equipped with high-density mosquito netting and waterproof curtains. These can be adjusted to provide privacy, protection from insects, or to allow an open-air experience.

• Mosquito Netting: Use the netting to keep insects out while maintaining airflow.
• Curtains: Draw the curtains for increased privacy or protection from sun and light rain. They can be tied back when not in use.
• Zippers: The curtains and netting feature smooth metal zippers for easy opening and closing.
