6.2. Seasonal Care
- Winter: In areas with heavy snowfall, it is recommended to regularly clear snow from the roof to prevent structural damage due to excessive weight. Consider removing curtains and netting during winter months.
- Windy Conditions: Always ensure the gazebo is securely anchored to the ground. In extremely windy conditions, it is advisable to remove the curtains and netting to reduce wind resistance.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Parts do not align during assembly. | Connections are too tight; slight manufacturing variations. | Loosen all adjacent bolts and screws to allow for flexibility. Gently adjust parts into position. Once aligned, tighten all fasteners securely. Do not force parts. |
| Water leaks from the roof during heavy rain. | Improper roof panel installation; sealant issues; extreme weather. | Inspect roof panels for proper overlap and secure fastening. Ensure all screws are tight. Consider applying a waterproof sealant to seams if leaks persist. Ensure proper drainage. |
| Gazebo feels unstable or sways. | Insufficient anchoring; loose frame connections. | Verify that the gazebo is securely anchored to the ground using all provided ground stakes or appropriate expansion screws. Check and tighten all frame bolts and connections. |
| Curtains/Netting do not slide smoothly. | Debris in tracks; damaged tracks or rollers. | Clean the tracks thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Inspect tracks and rollers for damage. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary. |
