Operating Instructions
The gazebo features an adjustable retractable canopy, allowing you to control the amount of sun exposure. The canopy can be expanded or contracted to your desired position.
Canopy Operation:
- To extend the canopy, gently pull the fabric outwards from its retracted position.
- To retract the canopy, push the fabric inwards towards the wall-mounted side.
- Ensure smooth movement and avoid forcing the canopy if it encounters resistance.


Maintenance
Regular maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your AECOJOY Gazebo.
- Cleaning: Clean the canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before retracting for storage.
- Frame Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain structural integrity.
- Weather Precautions: Always retract the canopy during strong winds, heavy rain, snow, or other extreme weather conditions. While the structure is stable, the flexible canopy is not designed to withstand severe weather when extended.
- Winter Storage: In areas with heavy snow or prolonged freezing temperatures, it is advisable to remove the canopy and store it indoors to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
