2. Safety Information
- Secure Installation: Always secure the gazebo to a stable structure using the provided mounting hardware and ropes to prevent it from tipping over in windy conditions.
- Sun Protection: The canopy offers UPF50+ sun protection. However, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight under the gazebo.
- Water Accumulation: The sloped roof design aids in water runoff. In heavy rain, temporary water pooling on the canopy is normal. Gently push up from underneath with a pole to drain accumulated water. This product is designed for shade, not heavy storms or waterproof storage. Remove valuables before rain.
- Weather Conditions: Disassemble or secure the canopy during extreme weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy snow, or severe thunderstorms to prevent damage to the gazebo and potential injury.
- Assembly: Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and tightened according to the instructions. Do not use damaged components.

4. Assembly Instructions
Assembly typically requires two adults. Follow the steps carefully to ensure a secure and stable structure.
- Prepare the Area: Choose a flat, level surface for assembly. Ensure sufficient space around the installation area.
- Assemble the Frame: Connect the alloy steel pipes to form the main frame. The frame features a 2-inch round pipe thickened design for stronger stability and an ultra-thick powder coating for scratch and rust resistance.
- Connect Columns: Insert the thick columns into the designated frame connectors. The innovative connection structure allows for quick assembly and disassembly.
- Install PE Roof: Attach the high-quality polyester canopy fabric to the frame. The canopy features a thickened interface design for stable connection without gaps, ensuring wear-resistance, tear-resistance, and anti-wrinkle properties.
- Fix Ground Nails: Secure the gazebo to the ground or patio surface using the provided ground nails or mounting hardware. This is crucial for stability.

5. Setup
Once assembled, ensure the gazebo is properly positioned and secured.
- Wall Mounting: The gazebo is designed to be wall-mounted. Ensure the wall is structurally sound and capable of supporting the gazebo's weight and any wind loads.
- Level Surface: Confirm the ground beneath the gazebo is level to prevent stress on the frame and ensure proper water drainage.
- Clearance: Maintain adequate clearance around the gazebo for safety and ease of movement.
6. Operating
The Aoxun Lean-to Gazebo provides a shaded area for various outdoor activities.
- Shade Provision: Enjoy the shade provided by the UPF50+ UV-resistant canopy during sunny days.
- Rain Management: The sloped roof is designed for efficient rain runoff. In instances of heavy rain leading to temporary water pooling, gently push up the canopy from underneath with a pole to facilitate drainage. This is a normal occurrence and not a defect.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your gazebo.
- Cleaning the Canopy: Clean the canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage or continued use. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Frame Inspection: Periodically inspect the frame for any signs of rust, loose connections, or damage. Tighten all bolts and screws as needed. The powder-coated steel frame is designed to prevent corrosion.
- Seasonal Care: During off-seasons or anticipated severe weather, it is recommended to remove the canopy fabric and store it in a dry, protected area. Consider disassembling the entire structure if extreme weather is expected.
