5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Using Netting and Curtains

The gazebo features a double track system for its netting and curtains. You can independently open or close the mosquito netting and privacy curtains. Use the integrated zippers to fully enclose the space for insect protection or privacy. Tie-backs are provided to secure the curtains and netting when open.

5.2. Water Drainage System

The sloped roof and integrated gutter system are designed to direct rainwater efficiently through the posts. Ensure the gutters remain clear of debris to maintain optimal drainage performance.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Cleaning

• Frame: Clean the metal frame with a mild soap solution and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots.
• Roof Panels: Periodically inspect and clean the roof panels to remove leaves, dirt, and other debris that could impede drainage.
• Netting & Curtains: Hand wash with mild soap and water. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow to air dry completely before storing or reattaching.

6.2. Seasonal Care

While the gazebo is designed to withstand heavy winter snow and winds up to 40 MPH, it is recommended to remove curtains and netting during extreme weather conditions to prolong their lifespan. Regularly check all bolts and connections for tightness and re-secure as needed.

7. Troubleshooting

• Gazebo feels unstable: Ensure all frame connections are securely tightened. Verify that the base is properly anchored to a flat, stable surface using appropriate hardware.
• Water accumulation on roof: Check the roof panels and gutters for any debris (leaves, twigs) that might be blocking the drainage system. Clear any obstructions.
• Curtains/Netting not sliding smoothly: Inspect the double track system for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the hooks are properly seated in the tracks.
