4.3 Wall Mounting and Anchoring
- Position the gazebo frame against the chosen wall. Mark the drilling points for the wall-mounted beams.
- Drill pilot holes and securely attach the wall-mounted beams using appropriate fasteners for your wall type.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water pooling on roof | Blocked gutters or improper roof panel installation. | Clear debris from gutters. Re-check roof panel alignment and tightness of fasteners. |
| Gazebo feels unstable | Loose anchor bolts or uneven ground. | Ensure all anchor bolts are securely tightened. Verify the ground surface is level. |
