6. Troubleshooting & FAQs
This section addresses common questions and concerns regarding your gazebo.
Video 6.1: Aoxun Hardtop Gazebo FAQ. This video provides answers to frequently asked questions about the gazebo's features, materials, and maintenance.
Common Questions:
- Why is it called a hard-roofed gazebo? Unlike soft roofs made of fabric, the top material of this hard-top gazebo will not deform or dent due to use and will always remain flat.
- What material is the top made of? The roof is made of a special high-strength plastic material, which is a double-layer H-shaped polycarbonate hollow board. These materials offer high strength and waterproof properties.
- Do our polycarbonate sheets have a UV coating? Yes, the front has a UV-resistant coating that blocks 99% of harmful UV rays, reducing heat and strong sunlight. The back has an anti-condensation coating to reduce frost caused by temperature differences.
- Why do I still feel hot under the polycarbonate gazebo? The translucent polycarbonate panels allow up to 85% light transmittance, offering a better view of the natural environment and feeling less oppressive compared to metal roofs. While it blocks UV rays, it does not block all heat.
- Is the polycarbonate panel strong enough? After thorough testing, the top has sufficient strength to withstand regular heavy rain and hail, and can fully withstand snow accumulation exceeding 10 inches and strong winds of 40 MPH. It will not age rapidly due to temperature fluctuations between summer and winter and can maintain a reliable life span of over 2 years.
