6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your tectake pavilion, follow these maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Clean the canopy and side panels with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof and UV-resistant coating.
• Drying: Ensure all fabric parts are completely dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew growth.
• Frame Care: Inspect the steel frame periodically for any signs of rust or damage. Clean and dry any affected areas.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, disassemble the pavilion and store it in a dry, protected area to prolong its lifespan.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Instability: If the pavilion feels unstable, ensure all frame connections are fully engaged and that the guy ropes and pegs are securely anchored to the ground. Re-tension guy ropes if necessary.
• Water Pooling on Roof: Ensure the roof canopy is stretched tightly and evenly over the frame to prevent water from pooling, which can cause damage. Adjust frame connections or canopy tension if needed.
• Difficulty Assembling Frame: Check that you are connecting the correct poles as per the instructions. Do not force connections; if a part doesn't fit, re-check the orientation.
