Operating Guidelines
Once installed, the AECOJOY gazebo provides a reliable outdoor living space. Its design ensures optimal performance under various weather conditions.
Weather Resistance

- Snow Load Capacity: The hardtop roof is designed to withstand up to 7 inches of heavy snow (6 lbs/sq.ft). In areas with heavy snowfall, it is advisable to clear snow periodically to prevent excessive accumulation.
- Wind Resistance: When properly anchored to both the wall and the ground, the gazebo can confidently withstand winds up to 70 mph.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan and preserve the appearance of your AECOJOY gazebo.
- Cleaning: Clean the metal frame and roof panels with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Fastener Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and anchors to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain structural integrity.
- Snow Removal: During winter, promptly remove heavy snow accumulation from the roof to prevent exceeding the snow load capacity.
- Drainage Check: Ensure the sloped roof remains clear of debris (leaves, branches) that could obstruct water runoff.
