5.3 Weather Considerations
While designed for all-weather durability, certain precautions should be taken:
- High Winds: In strong winds, it is recommended to remove curtains and netting to reduce wind resistance. Ensure the gazebo is securely anchored.
- Heavy Snow: While the roof can withstand significant snow loads, it is advisable to clear excessive snow accumulation to prevent structural stress.
- Rain: The sloped roof design facilitates water runoff. Ensure gutters (if applicable) are clear of debris.

- Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Tighten as needed.
