- Fastener Checks: Periodically inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain structural integrity.
- Snow Removal: While the gazebo can handle snow, it is recommended to gently remove heavy snow accumulation from the roof to prevent excessive stress, especially during prolonged periods of heavy snowfall.
- Drainage: Ensure the inclined roof design allows for proper water runoff. Clear any debris that might obstruct drainage.
