5. Setup & Assembly
Assembly of the Domi Hardtop Gazebo requires careful attention to detail. It is recommended that at least two adults perform the assembly. Please ensure all parts are present before beginning.
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and compare them against the parts list provided in your separate assembly guide. Ensure no parts are missing or damaged.
- Prepare the Site: Choose a level and stable location for your gazebo. Clear any debris and ensure adequate space for assembly.
- Assemble the Frame: Follow the step-by-step instructions in the dedicated assembly manual to construct the main alloy steel frame.
- Install the Roof Panels: Attach the galvanized steel upper roof and 16mm resin lower roof panels. Pay close attention to the drainage system components during this step.
- Secure the Gazebo: It is crucial to anchor the gazebo securely to a stable foundation (e.g., concrete, deck). Use appropriate fasteners for your surface type. For decks over 3 inches thick, use 5/16" x 4" structural screws. For concrete over 3 inches thick, use expansion bolts. Soft-ground installation is not recommended, and structures must be securely anchored in severe weather.
- Attach Curtains and Netting: Install the privacy curtains and mosquito netting onto the double-track system.
- Final Checks: Verify all connections are tight and the structure is stable.
Note: A detailed, step-by-step assembly guide with diagrams is included in the product packaging. Refer to that document for specific part numbers and assembly sequences.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your gazebo.
- Cleaning the Roof: Periodically clean the resin and galvanized steel roof panels with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning Curtains and Netting: The polyester curtains and mesh netting can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. For deeper cleaning, follow fabric care instructions if provided in the separate assembly guide. Ensure they are dry before storing or retracting for extended periods to prevent mildew.
- Frame Inspection: Regularly inspect the alloy steel frame for any signs of rust, loose bolts, or damage. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Drainage System: Ensure the built-in drainage system remains clear of leaves and debris to function effectively.
- Winter Care: While designed for snow loads, it is advisable to clear heavy snow accumulation from the roof to prevent excessive stress on the structure.
