• Keep children and pets away from the assembly area.
• Do not use the gazebo during extreme weather conditions such as heavy winds, snow, or thunderstorms.
• Ensure all connections are tight and secure before and after each use.
• Do not hang excessively heavy items from the roof hooks.
• Always use appropriate safety gear during assembly.

Setup and Assembly

Assembly typically requires two adults and a step ladder. Follow the steps below carefully. Refer to the included video for a visual guide.

1. Frame Assembly: Begin by assembling the main support frame. Carefully check the orientation of all legs in early steps to avoid reassembly later.
2. Roof Panel Installation: When installing the galvanized steel roof panels, proper alignment of holes is crucial. An awl or similar tool can assist in aligning holes, especially where panels overlap, before inserting screws. It is recommended to loosen screws on the frame slightly when sliding roof panels into place to allow for better alignment, then tighten them securely once all panels are in position.
3. Top Cover Installation: It is advised to install the top cover (piece M) after all roof panels (Q and R pieces) are in place. This allows for easier sliding of outer pieces and prevents interference with plastic clips.
4. Side Shelves: Attach the double-sided metal shelves to the frame. These provide convenient space for barbecue accessories and ingredients.
5. Anchoring: Securely anchor the gazebo to the ground. Use expansion screw fixings for concrete or hard floors, and lawn spikes for softer ground. This is critical for stability and safety.

Operating Instructions

• Using the Shelves: The two side shelves provide ample space for barbecue accessories, plates, and ingredients. Utilize the integrated cutlery hooks for hanging barbecue tools.
• Ceiling Hooks: The gazebo features three ceiling hooks. These can be used to hang a fan, decorative lights, or other lightweight ornaments. Do not exceed the weight limit specified in the product documentation.
• Weather Protection: The galvanized steel roof offers superior resistance to harsh weather, including sun, rain, and snow. However, it is recommended to take down any hanging decorations or lightweight items during strong winds or heavy snowfall to prevent damage.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the aluminum frame and galvanized steel roof with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Winter Care: While the roof is designed for snow, heavy snow accumulation should be cleared to prevent excessive stress on the structure.
• Touch-up Paint: If minor scratches occur, a touch-up paint (not included) can be used to maintain the aesthetic and corrosion resistance of the powder-coated finish.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Difficulty aligning roof panels during assembly.

Solution: Use an awl to help align screw holes, especially where panels overlap. Loosen adjacent frame screws slightly to provide more flexibility, then tighten once panels are in place.

Issue: Gazebo feels unstable after assembly.

Solution: Ensure all bolts and connections are fully tightened. Verify that the gazebo is properly anchored to the ground using the provided fixings (expansion screws for hard surfaces, lawn spikes for soft ground).

Issue: Plastic clips on roof panels do not stay in place.

Solution: Ensure plastic clips are correctly seated. If they continue to be problematic, contact customer support for guidance or consider alternative methods for securing the roof panels if structural integrity is not compromised.
