This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient assembly, operation, and maintenance of your new outdoor structure. Please read all instructions carefully before beginning assembly and retain this manual for future reference.

2. Safety Information

• Always secure the gazebo to a stable, level surface to prevent it from tipping over in windy conditions or under heavy snow loads.
• Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tightened securely during assembly and checked periodically for tightness.
• Do not hang heavy objects from the gazebo frame or roof.
• Clear snow accumulation from the roof to prevent structural damage, especially in areas with heavy snowfall. The roof is designed to withstand 22 lbs/sq.ft snow load.
• Avoid using open flames or heating appliances directly under the gazebo roof.

3. Package Contents

Your Domi Lean-to Hardtop Gazebo is typically shipped in multiple packages. Please ensure all packages have arrived and inspect them for any damage before proceeding with assembly. All necessary hardware and pre-engineered components are included. Refer to the packing list for a complete inventory of parts.

4. Setup & Assembly

The gazebo is designed for straightforward assembly. Two individuals can typically complete the assembly in one evening. Detailed instructions and tools are provided to assist you.

4.1. Site Preparation

Choose a stable and level surface for installation. The gazebo can be wall-mounted or free-standing. If wall-mounting, ensure the wall structure is capable of supporting the gazebo's weight and forces.

5. Operating Instructions

The Domi Lean-to Hardtop Gazebo provides a permanent shaded area. Its galvanized steel roof and integrated gutter system are designed to manage rain and snow effectively, ensuring a dry space underneath. No specific operational steps are required beyond initial setup.

6. Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the roof and frame periodically with mild soap and water to remove dirt, leaves, and debris. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Gutter System: The upgraded gutter system is designed to prevent ice and leaf clogs. However, occasional inspection and cleaning of the gutters are recommended to ensure optimal drainage.
• Fastener Check: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. The stainless steel screws are designed for superior durability and rust-resistance.
• Frame Inspection: Inspect the dual-protected galvanized and powder-coated steel frame for any signs of wear or damage. Address any issues promptly to maintain structural integrity.
