4. Setup and Assembly
Assembly of the Domi 12x16FT Outdoor Gazebo requires careful attention to detail and typically two individuals. While pre-drilled base holes simplify installation, allow ample time for completion.
4.1. Frame Assembly
Begin by assembling the main frame structure. The galvanized steel frame is designed for durability and resistance to fading, rust, and corrosion. The 3.9-inch thick posts contribute to stability.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Ventilated Double Roof
The gazebo features a ventilated double-roof system designed to promote excellent airflow, keeping the outdoor space comfortable. This design also helps block UV rays and withstands rain and snow.

5.2. Water Drainage System
The sloped roof incorporates an efficient water gutter design, ensuring rainwater drains quickly and safely, preventing accumulation and potential damage. This system is clog-resistant for improved drainage efficiency.

5.3. Curtains and Netting
The gazebo includes removable netting to keep insects out while allowing air circulation. Privacy curtains can be used to create a more enclosed and private atmosphere. Both are made from 160G/M2 PU coated polyester, offering colorfast and waterproof properties.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your gazebo.
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the metal frame with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning Curtains and Netting: The polyester curtains and mesh netting can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. For deeper cleaning, they may be removed and hand washed. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching or storing to prevent mildew.
- Roof Care: Periodically inspect the roof panels for debris accumulation. Clear leaves, snow, or other materials to prevent excessive weight and ensure proper drainage.
- Fastener Check: Annually, or after severe weather, check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary.
- Winter Preparation: While the gazebo is designed to withstand heavy winter snow, it is advisable to regularly clear heavy snow accumulation from the roof to prevent structural stress.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter during assembly or use.
- Difficulty with Roof Assembly: The roof section can be challenging. Ensure all panels are correctly oriented and loosely fitted before attempting to secure them. Do not fully tighten any bolts until all roof panels are in place and aligned.
- Screws Not Catching Thread: If some screws do not catch, ensure you are using the correct screw size for the designated hole. Avoid overtightening, especially on roof panel bolts, as this can cause leaks.
- Bent Parts: If any parts arrive bent, do not attempt to force them into place. Contact customer support for replacement parts.
- Water Accumulation on Roof: Verify that the drainage system is clear of debris. Ensure the roof panels are correctly installed and sealed to allow water to flow into the gutters.
