Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the aluminum frame and galvanized steel roof with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Fabric Care: The curtains and netting can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. For deeper cleaning, follow care instructions on the fabric tags. Ensure they are completely dry before storing or tying back to prevent mildew.
• Seasonal Checks: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections for tightness, especially after strong winds or heavy precipitation. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Snow Removal: In areas with heavy snowfall, regularly remove snow from the roof to prevent excessive load, even though the roof is designed to hold up to 7 inches of snow.

Troubleshooting

• Water Accumulation: If water is pooling on the roof, check the drainage system for any blockages (leaves, debris) and ensure the gutters are clear. Verify that the gazebo is level.
• Instability: If the gazebo feels unstable, ensure all frame connections are securely tightened and that the base is properly anchored to the ground or patio.
• Curtains/Netting Snagging: Check the curtain rails for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the fabric is properly aligned in the tracks.
