Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps carefully for proper assembly. It is recommended to have at least two people for this process.
- Prepare the Area: Choose a flat, level surface for assembly. Clear the area of any obstacles.
- Unpack Components: Carefully unpack all parts and lay them out. Refer to the parts list (if provided in the physical manual) to identify each component.
- Assemble the Base Frame: Connect the horizontal base beams to the vertical leg posts. Ensure all connections are finger-tight initially.
- Attach Upper Frame: Connect the upper horizontal beams to the top of the leg posts.
- Install Roof Supports: Assemble the roof support structure according to the diagrams. This typically involves connecting central hubs to corner supports.
- Place Canopy: Drape the main canopy fabric over the roof support structure. Ensure the fabric is oriented correctly, with the smaller top canopy positioned over the main canopy's vent opening. Secure the canopy to the frame using the integrated straps or ties.
- Install Mosquito Netting and Privacy Curtains: Attach the mosquito netting and privacy curtains to the frame using the integrated rings or hooks. The netting and curtains feature zippers for easy opening and closing.
- Tighten All Fasteners: Once the entire structure is assembled, go back and securely tighten all screws and bolts. Do not overtighten.
- Anchor the Gazebo: Use the provided expansion bolts to secure the gazebo legs to a solid surface (e.g., concrete patio). Attach wind ropes to the designated points on the frame and secure them to the ground with stakes for added stability, especially in windy conditions.

Operating Instructions
- Mosquito Netting: Use the integrated zippers to open and close the mosquito netting. This provides protection from insects while allowing airflow.
- Privacy Curtains: The privacy curtains can be drawn closed for seclusion or tied back to the posts using the attached velcro straps for an open feel.
- Accessory Hooks: The gazebo features corner hanging rings and J-shaped hooks on the interior roof for attaching string lights, fans, or other lightweight decorations. Do not exceed the recommended weight limit for these hooks.

Maintenance
- Cleaning Fabric: Clean the canopy, netting, and curtains with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry completely before storage.
- Cleaning Frame: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent.
- Seasonal Storage: For prolonged periods of non-use or during harsh weather, it is recommended to remove the canopy fabric, netting, and curtains and store them in a dry, protected area.
- Inspect Regularly: Periodically check the fabric for tears or damage and the frame for rust or loose connections. Address any issues promptly to ensure longevity.
- Water Drainage: The double roof design includes drainage holes to prevent water accumulation. Ensure these holes remain clear of debris.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gazebo feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose connections; insufficient anchoring. | Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened. Verify expansion bolts are securely fastened to the ground and wind ropes are taut. |
| Water pooling on the canopy. | Drainage holes blocked; improper canopy tension. | Clear any debris from the canopy's drainage holes. Re-adjust canopy tension to ensure proper water runoff. |
| Mosquito netting or curtains do not close properly. | Zippers are jammed or damaged; fabric misaligned. | Check zippers for obstructions and gently clear. Ensure fabric is properly aligned on the frame. If zippers are damaged, contact customer support. |
| Frame components appear bent or damaged. | Impact during shipping or assembly; excessive force. | If damage occurred during shipping, contact the seller immediately. Do not attempt to force bent parts. |
