Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your SHPAI Gazebo.

• Cleaning the Roof: Periodically clean the galvanized steel roof to remove leaves, debris, and dirt. Use a soft brush and mild soap with water, then rinse thoroughly.
• Cleaning Curtains and Netting: The curtains and netting can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before storing or closing for extended periods to prevent mildew.
• Frame Inspection: Annually inspect the metal frame for any signs of rust, loose bolts, or damage. Tighten any loose fasteners and address rust spots with appropriate rust-inhibiting paint.
• Drainage System: Ensure the gutters and drainage holes are clear of debris to allow for efficient water runoff.
• Winter Care: While the roof is designed for snow, heavy snow accumulation should be cleared to prevent excessive stress on the structure. Consider removing curtains and netting for storage during harsh winter months to extend their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

• Water Accumulation on Roof: Check for any debris blocking the gutters or drainage channels. Ensure roof panels are correctly installed and overlapping as per the assembly instructions.
• Curtains/Netting Not Sliding Smoothly: Inspect the double-track system for any obstructions or damage. Clean the tracks if necessary. Ensure zippers are aligned and not snagged.
