6.1. Seasonal Care

In winter, please clear snow from the roof in a timely manner to avoid damage to the product. During rainy days, the galvanized steel double roof provides protection while allowing air ventilation. The frame is designed to be scratch-resistant, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and weatherproof for long-term use.

6.2. Cleaning

• Frame: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Roof: Clean the galvanized steel roof with water and a soft brush if necessary. Ensure proper drainage.
• Curtains/Netting: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry.

6.3. Inspection

Periodically check all bolts, screws, and anchoring points to ensure they remain tight and secure. Inspect the roof panels and frame for any signs of damage or wear, especially after severe weather conditions.

7. Troubleshooting

• Gazebo feels unstable: Ensure all anchor bolts and ground stakes are properly installed and tightened. Verify that the frame is assembled squarely according to the instructions.
• Missing parts: If you find any parts missing upon unboxing, please contact UDPATIO customer support immediately with your product model and a description of the missing components.
• Difficulty with assembly: Refer to the detailed assembly instructions and the assembly video. Ensure all pieces are oriented correctly before tightening fasteners. Do not force parts together.
