Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Domi Lean-to Gazebo, regular maintenance is recommended:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight and secure.
• Cleaning: Clean the roof and frame regularly with mild soap and water to prevent dirt and debris buildup. Ensure the gutter system is free of leaves and other obstructions.
• Rust Prevention: The gazebo is constructed with dual-protected galvanized and powder-coated steel, and uses stainless steel screws for enhanced rust resistance. However, inspect for any scratches or damage to the coating and touch up as needed to prevent rust.

Troubleshooting

Should you encounter any issues during assembly or use, consider the following common solutions:

• Missing or Damaged Parts: Upon receiving your gazebo, carefully inspect all packages and components. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact Domi customer service immediately for assistance.
