• For concrete surfaces, use expansion bolts (included) to firmly anchor the gazebo.
• Attach the wind-resistant ropes to the designated points on the gazebo frame and secure them to the ground at an angle to provide additional stability against wind.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Mosquito Netting and Privacy Curtains

The gazebo is equipped with both mosquito netting and privacy curtains for versatile use.

• Mosquito Netting: Zip up the netting panels to create an enclosed space, protecting against insects while allowing air circulation and an open view.
• Privacy Curtains: Close the privacy curtains for increased privacy or protection from wind and sun. The curtains can be tied back when not in use.

5.2 Ventilated Double Roof System

The gazebo features a ventilated double roof designed for comfort and functionality.

• The double-roof design allows for improved air circulation, reducing heat buildup under the canopy.
• Integrated mesh between the roof layers helps to repel mosquitoes while maintaining airflow.

5.3 Water Drainage

The canopy is designed with features to manage rainwater.

• The canopy includes strategically placed leakage holes to help drain accumulated rainwater. This design reduces pressure on the canopy fabric and enhances structural stability.
• Ensure these holes remain clear of debris to allow for effective drainage.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your gazebo.

• Cleaning the Canopy: Clean the polyester fabric canopy with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry completely before storage.
• Frame Care: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth. The powder-coated steel frame is designed for rust resistance, but regular cleaning helps maintain its finish.
• Check Connections: Periodically inspect all bolts, screws, and anchoring points to ensure they remain tight and secure.
• Winter Storage: In areas with heavy snow or prolonged cold, it is recommended to remove the canopy and store it indoors to prevent damage.

7. Troubleshooting

• Gazebo Instability: Ensure all frame connections are fully tightened. Verify that the gazebo is properly anchored to the ground using stakes or expansion bolts and that wind ropes are securely fastened.
• Water Accumulation on Roof: Check that the canopy is taut and properly installed. Ensure the water leakage holes are not blocked by debris.
• Mosquito Netting/Curtains Dragging: Confirm that the frame is assembled to the correct height. Adjust the hanging points of the netting and curtains if possible to ensure they hang freely without dragging.
• Difficulty with Assembly: Review the assembly instructions carefully. Ensure all parts are correctly identified and oriented. Do not force components; if parts do not fit, recheck the steps.
