5. Operating Instructions

The AirWire Hardtop Gazebo is designed for flexible use, allowing you to adapt your outdoor space to various needs and weather conditions.

Curtain System:

  • Mesh Curtains: Use the zippered mesh curtains to create an enclosed space that provides ventilation while keeping insects out. These can be zipped closed for full insect protection or tied back for an open feel.
  • Privacy Curtains: The removable privacy curtains offer additional shade, UV protection, and privacy. They can be drawn closed for a more secluded environment or tied back to open up the space.
