4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Using the Side Awning
The gazebo features a stretchable side awning (7'x3') designed to provide additional shade and protection. The awning can be folded out at various angles to suit your needs, offering shade for food or shelter during light rain or wind. The 3-level extension pole allows for angle adjustment. To adjust, gently push or pull the awning to the desired position and ensure the hydraulic rod locks it securely.
4.2 Vented Double-Tier Canopy
The double-tier design of the canopy promotes better air circulation and facilitates smoke evacuation from your grill. This design also helps maintain temperature stability within the gazebo area. The polyester fabric is flame-retardant, rain-resistant, and sun-protective, offering protection from UV rays.
