3. Components and Parts List

Before starting assembly, verify that all components listed below are present and undamaged. Refer to the packaging for specific part numbers and quantities.

Note: A detailed list with part numbers is included in your product packaging.

4. Setup and Assembly

The AECOJOY Gazebo is designed for straightforward assembly. It is recommended to have at least two people for installation. Follow the numbered steps below, referring to the included assembly instructions for detailed diagrams.

1. Prepare the Site: Choose a level, stable surface for installation. Ensure adequate clearance around the gazebo for assembly and future use.
2. Unpack and Identify Parts: Lay out all components and hardware. Cross-reference with the parts list provided in your packaging to ensure everything is present.
3. Assemble the Frame: Begin by connecting the main frame beams and support posts. Important Tip: Adjust the angles of the parts before fully tightening screws to ensure proper alignment. This will significantly improve assembly efficiency.
4. Install the Roof Panels: Carefully insert the high-quality flexible roof panels into the designated slots. Ensure they are securely seated to prevent leaks. A rubber mallet may be useful for gentle persuasion, but avoid excessive force.
5. Attach Curtains and Netting: Install the sunshade curtains and mosquito netting onto the frame. Both feature smooth zippers for a complete seal.
6. Secure the Gazebo: Anchor the gazebo securely to the ground or patio using the provided hardware. For concrete surfaces, heavy-duty concrete screws (not always included) may be required for optimal stability. For decks, consider bracing underneath with 2x4s for added support, especially in high-wind areas.

5. Operating Instructions

Your AECOJOY Gazebo is designed to provide a comfortable and protected outdoor space. Here's how to utilize its features:

• Roof Protection: The premium roof panels are designed to block 99% of UV rays (UPF 70+) in summer and withstand up to 7 inches of snow in winter, offering year-round protection.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan and preserve the appearance of your gazebo.

• Cleaning: Clean the frame with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The roof panels can be wiped clean with a soft cloth.
• Fabric Care: Curtains and netting can be spot cleaned with mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, follow care instructions on the fabric tags. Ensure they are completely dry before storing or zipping up for extended periods to prevent mildew.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and anchors to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten as necessary.
• Winter Care: While the roof is designed to withstand snow, it is advisable to clear heavy snow accumulation to prevent excessive stress on the structure.
• Damage Inspection: Regularly inspect the entire structure for any signs of wear, rust, cracks, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
