6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Domi Hardtop Gazebo.

• Cleaning the Roof: The galvanized steel roof is designed for durability. Periodically clean the roof panels to remove leaves, debris, and dirt. The built-in drainage system will help manage rainwater, but regular cleaning prevents blockages.
• Frame Care: The aluminum and galvanized steel frame is rust-resistant. Clean the frame with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coating.
• Curtains and Netting: The curtains are made from 180G/M² PU coated polyester, which is colorfast and waterproof. The netting is high-density Textilene, CPAI-84 fire-resistant. Clean these fabrics according to their specific care instructions, typically with mild soap and water. Ensure they are dry before storing or zipping up for extended periods to prevent mildew.
• Winter Care: While the gazebo is designed for all-weather use and can carry up to 6 inches of snow, it is advisable to clear heavy snow accumulation from the roof to prevent excessive stress on the structure.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common concerns you might encounter with your gazebo.

Common Issues:

• Water Pooling on Roof: The gazebo features a built-in drainage system. Ensure that the drainage channels are clear of debris (leaves, twigs) to allow water to flow smoothly.
• Instability in Wind: Verify that the gazebo is securely anchored to a stable foundation. All anchor points should be properly installed and tightened. In extreme wind conditions, it is recommended to open the curtains and netting to reduce wind resistance.
• Difficulty with Assembly: Refer to the detailed assembly instructions provided with your product. Ensure all parts are correctly identified and oriented. If issues persist, contact customer support.
