2. Safety Information

Important Safety Warnings:

• Always ensure all parts are securely fastened before use.
• Do not climb on the gazebo roof.
• In areas prone to heavy snow, regularly clear snow from the roof to prevent structural damage. The roof is designed to support up to 3000 lbs of snow, but excessive accumulation should be avoided.
• Securely anchor the gazebo to the ground or concrete slab to prevent movement in high winds. The gazebo is rated for 40 MPH winds, or 50 MPH if anchored in concrete.
• Check local HOA guidelines and building codes before purchasing and installing. A permit may be required.

3. Product Features

• Upgrade Yarn-dyed Curtains: Constructed with advanced techniques for strong fade resistance (up to 2 years) and durability in harsh weather conditions.
• Heavy Duty Netting: Features 260 GSM high-tensile netting, offering five times the strength of average market netting and stability in winds up to 10 mph.
• Wide Aluminum Frame: The frame is 4.7 inches wide, 20% wider than the market average, using 60% more material for enhanced durability and sturdiness.
• Drainage Design: The pitched roof is engineered to efficiently channel rainwater from the top directly to the poles, preventing water spillage around the perimeter.
• Reinforced Double Roof: Made from galvanized steel, the double roof resists weather, supports significant snow loads (up to 3000 lbs), and promotes ventilation.
• Ceiling Hooks: Equipped with U-shaped hooks capable of holding up to 20 pounds, ideal for hanging lights or fans.

5. Setup and Assembly

Assembly typically requires two or more adults. Organize all parts and hardware before starting. Do not fully tighten screws until instructed, allowing for adjustments.

1. Unpack and Organize: Carefully unpack all boxes. Sort and label all parts and hardware according to the included parts list. Using small containers for fasteners is recommended.
2. Assemble Legs and Base: Attach the feet to the bottom of each leg. Secure the main horizontal beams to the legs, ensuring proper alignment. Leave screws slightly loose for initial adjustments.
3. Install Support Beams: Attach the triangular support beams to the main frame. Ensure the shorter end of the support is against the main frame and the longer end is where screws are inserted.
4. Roof Frame Assembly: Assemble the upper roof frame structure. This step often requires multiple people to hold beams in place while fasteners are secured.
5. Roof Panel Installation: Begin installing the galvanized steel roof panels from the corners and work towards the center. Ensure each panel is properly seated and overlaps correctly to prevent leaks. Tighten all roof screws once all panels are in place.
6. Attach Curtains and Netting: Install the curtain and netting tracks. Hang the yarn-dyed curtains and heavy-duty netting. The curtains and netting feature separate straps for securing them to the posts when open.
7. Final Tightening and Anchoring: Once the entire structure is assembled, go back and fully tighten all screws. Securely anchor the gazebo to your patio or ground using appropriate hardware (not included for all surfaces).

6. Operating Instructions

• Curtains: The yarn-dyed curtains can be drawn closed for privacy or sun protection, or tied back to the posts using the integrated straps.
• Netting: The heavy-duty netting can be zipped closed to keep insects out, or tied back to the posts separately from the curtains.
• Ceiling Hooks: Utilize the integrated U-shaped hooks on the ceiling to hang decorative lights, fans, or other lightweight accessories (max 20 lbs).

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning Frame: Wipe the aluminum frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Cleaning Roof: Regularly inspect and clean the galvanized steel roof to prevent debris buildup, especially in the drainage channels.
• Cleaning Curtains & Netting: Curtains and netting can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. For deeper cleaning, follow fabric care instructions provided with the product.
• Winter Care: In snowy regions, regularly remove snow from the roof to prevent excessive weight accumulation.

8. Troubleshooting

• Water Leakage: Ensure all roof panels are correctly overlapped and all screws are fully tightened. Check drainage channels for blockages.
• Difficulty in Assembly: Ensure all screws are initially loose to allow for proper alignment before final tightening. Refer to the step-by-step instructions and diagrams.
• Curtains/Netting Sticking: Ensure tracks are clear of debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
