Setup and Assembly

The assembly process typically requires 2-4 people and takes approximately 2-4 hours. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the separate assembly guide. Each component is labeled for easy identification.

Assembly Tips:

• Teamwork: Many steps require two people. For lifting the main roof structure, 4 people are recommended.
• Organize Parts: Lay out all parts before starting. Some assembly units may be split across different boxes. Refer to the parts list in each box.
• Roof Panel Installation: When installing roof panels, secure each piece with one screw (not fully tightened) at the bottom first. Once an entire side is finished, go back and tighten all screws to ensure proper alignment.
• Power Tools: A cordless drill/screwdriver is highly recommended to save time. A drill with a clutch can help prevent stripping bolts.
• Protective Film: Remove any protective film from roof panels before assembly. This can be time-consuming but is crucial for the final appearance.
• Location: The gazebo is heavy once assembled. Build it in its intended final location.
• Safety: Wear gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges on sheet metal components.

Maintenance

• Frame: Regularly inspect the aluminum frame for any signs of damage or loose connections. Clean the frame with a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Roof: Periodically clean the galvanized steel roof to remove leaves, debris, or snow accumulation. Use a soft brush or cloth and water. Do not use harsh chemicals that could damage the coating.
• Curtains and Netting: The detachable curtains and netting can be cleaned with a mild detergent and water. Ensure they are completely dry before storing or reattaching to prevent mildew.
• LED Lights: Keep the solar panel clean and free of obstructions to ensure efficient charging. Store the lights in a dry place during prolonged periods of non-use or extreme weather.
• Anchoring: Regularly check the ground anchors or expansion bolts to ensure they remain secure, especially after strong winds or heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or Damaged Parts: If you receive parts that are missing or damaged, contact Aoxun customer service immediately for assistance. Do not attempt to force damaged parts during assembly.
• Holes Not Aligning: During assembly, if holes do not align, loosen previously tightened bolts slightly to allow for adjustment. Ensure all parts are oriented correctly according to the assembly guide. Re-tighten all bolts once alignment is achieved.
• Difficulty Removing Protective Film: The protective film on roof panels can be challenging to remove. It is recommended to remove this film before attaching the panels. If stuck, try using a hairdryer on a low setting to gently warm the film, which may help with removal.
• Gazebo Instability: Ensure the gazebo is properly anchored to the ground using the provided expansion bolts or ground nails. Verify that all frame connections are securely tightened.
• LED Lights Not Working: Check if the lights are fully charged (via USB or solar). Ensure the remote control battery is functional. Verify that the lights are not in timer mode.
