6. Maintenance

- Roof Maintenance: Regularly inspect the galvanized steel roof for any debris, leaves, or excessive snow accumulation. Clear snow promptly to prevent exceeding the load capacity. Clean the roof with water and a soft brush if needed.
- Hardware Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and anchoring stakes for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
- Base Guards: Ensure the moisture-blocking black base guards are intact and functioning to protect the wooden pillars from ground moisture.

7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter during assembly or use.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-drilled holes do not align. | Minor manufacturing variation or incorrect part orientation. | Double-check part numbers and orientation. If misalignment is minor, gently adjust or use clamps to bring parts into alignment before tightening. For significant misalignment, contact customer support. |
| Missing components (boards, hardware). | Packaging error or lost during transit. | Verify all boxes have arrived and check the parts list thoroughly. Contact WACASA customer support immediately with details of the missing items. |
| Gazebo feels unstable after assembly. | Anchoring not secure, loose connections, or uneven ground. | Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened. Verify that the gazebo is securely anchored to a level surface using all provided stakes and bolts. If the ground is uneven, consider shims or a more level installation site. |
| TV mount boards seem flimsy. | Perceived flexibility or heavy TV. | Ensure the TV mount is installed correctly and all fasteners are tight. If concerns persist, consider adding additional support or reinforcement to the TV mounting area, or use a lighter TV within the specified weight limits. |
