3. Assembly Instructions
Refer to the detailed, numbered instructions provided in your separate assembly manual for step-by-step guidance. The following is a general overview of the assembly process.
- Site Preparation: Clear and level the chosen installation area.
- Frame Assembly: Begin by assembling the main aluminum frame structure. Ensure all connections are secure but do not fully tighten bolts until the entire frame is upright and square.
- Roof Installation: Carefully install the polycarbonate double roof panels. These panels are designed to provide excellent airflow while preventing harmful UV rays.
- Curtains and Netting: Attach the double-track system for the curtains and netting, then hang them. The inner netting features zippers for easy access and insect protection, while the outer curtains offer privacy and weather protection.
- Anchoring: Once the gazebo is fully assembled, securely anchor the frame to the ground using the provided hardware. This is critical for stability and safety.

4. Operating Instructions
Your Aoxun Hardtop Gazebo is designed for versatile outdoor use. Understanding its features will enhance your experience.
- Curtains and Netting: The gazebo is equipped with both privacy curtains and insect netting. These operate on a double-track system, allowing them to be opened, closed, or tied back independently. Use the inner netting to keep insects out while maintaining ventilation, and the outer curtains for privacy or protection from light rain and sun.
- Hanging Accessories: The roof structure includes hooks suitable for hanging fans, lights, or other decorations. Ensure any hung items do not exceed the weight capacity specified in your assembly manual.
- Water Drainage: The gazebo features a professional drainage system with a sloped double-layer polycarbonate roof. Rainwater flows from the roof edge into the poles and then to the ground, reducing accumulation.
Figure 4.1: Double Tops Design. This image explains the benefits of the double-layer polycarbonate roof, including its anti-UV properties, waterproof design, and enhanced air ventilation.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your gazebo.
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the aluminum frame with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Roof Panels: Gently clean the polycarbonate roof panels with a soft cloth or sponge and mild soapy water. Do not use stiff brushes or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
- Curtains and Netting: The curtains and netting can be removed for cleaning. Follow the care instructions on their labels, typically machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry.
- Drainage System: Periodically check and clear the water gutters and poles of any debris (leaves, dirt) to ensure proper drainage.
- Seasonal Care: In areas with heavy snowfall, it is recommended to regularly clear snow from the roof to prevent excessive weight accumulation. For extreme winter conditions, consider disassembling the roof panels or the entire gazebo.
- Fastener Check: Annually, or after severe weather, check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight.
