4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AECOJOY gazebo, regular maintenance is recommended:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the roof panels and frame periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the surfaces.
• Fastener Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and anchors to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten as necessary.
• Drainage Check: Ensure the roof's inclined design allows for proper water runoff and that no debris is obstructing the drainage path.
• Seasonal Inspection: Before and after periods of heavy weather (e.g., strong winds, snow), inspect the entire structure for any signs of damage or instability.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly, operation, or with the product's performance, consider the following:

• Review Assembly Steps: Double-check that all parts have been assembled correctly and that all fasteners are securely tightened according to the instruction manual.
• Check for Missing Parts: If parts are missing or damaged upon arrival, contact customer support immediately.
• Stability Concerns: Ensure the gazebo is properly anchored to both the wall and the ground as specified in the installation section. Inadequate anchoring can lead to instability.
• Water Leakage: Verify that roof panels are correctly seated and sealed, and that the inclined design is not obstructed.
