5. Operating Instructions

The Aoxun Gazebo is designed for ease of use and adaptability to your outdoor needs.

• Mosquito Netting: To protect against insects, fully zip the mosquito netting panels. The netting is designed to provide ventilation while keeping pests out.
• Privacy Screens: For privacy or wind protection, deploy and secure the privacy screen panels. These can be tied back when not in use.
• Ventilation: The double-roof design naturally promotes airflow. Ensure the top canopy is correctly installed to maximize ventilation.
• Accessory Hooks: Utilize the J-shaped hooks on the interior roof frame to hang lightweight items such as decorative lights or a small fan. The corner rings can be used for additional string lights or ornaments.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Aoxun Gazebo.

• Cleaning the Canopy: Clean the canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof and UV-resistant coating. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
• Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry immediately to prevent rust.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Inspect the fabric for any tears or damage.
• Seasonal Storage: For prolonged periods of non-use or during harsh weather conditions (winter, heavy storms), it is recommended to disassemble the canopy and store it in a dry, protected area. This will prevent damage and prolong its lifespan.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your gazebo, refer to the following common solutions:

• Water Pooling on Canopy: Ensure the canopy is taut and properly secured to the frame. Check that the drainage holes are clear of debris. Adjust the frame if necessary to ensure proper tension and water runoff.
• Gazebo Instability: Verify that all anchoring points (stakes, expansion bolts, wind ropes) are securely fastened. Ensure all frame connections are tight. Do not use in high winds without proper anchoring.
• Mosquito Netting/Screens Not Closing: Check zippers for obstructions or damage. Ensure the panels are correctly aligned and attached to the frame.
• Damaged Parts: If any part of the frame or fabric is damaged, contact customer support for replacement parts. Do not attempt to use a damaged gazebo.
