Diagram showing securing the gazebo with ground stakes (UU) at the base of posts (G).

Care and Cleaning

Check all screws and nuts periodically for tightness, fastening them again as required. Disassemble the gazebo in the reverse order of the assembly steps. Always disassemble the gazebo completely. A partially disassembled gazebo is not stable enough to resist wind and bad weather, and therefore can be damaged and/or cause damage. Clean the gazebo with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and wait until the product is dry before reassembling it. Snow must be cleared off regularly during snowy days. Remove the snow at the roof top when it is thicker than 2 inches. In order to avoid damage, use a plastic snow rake to remove excessive snow and ice buildup from roof and keep away from falling debris. Do not use bleach, acid or other abrasive cleaners on the canopies or frame parts. Steel components for this gazebo are treated with rust inhibiting paint to prevent from rusting. However, due to the nature of steel, surface oxidation (rusting) will occur if these protective coatings are scratched. This is not a defect and thus not covered by the warranty. To minimize this condition, it is recommended to use care when assembling and handing the product to prevent scratching the paint. Should any scratching or damage occur, it is recommended to cover the scratch immediately with rust inhibiting paint not included. Surface rust can also be easily removed with a very light application of regular cooking oil or WD-40. If surface oxidation (rusting) occurs and if no measure is taken to prevent his, the oxidation may start dripping onto deck or patio and cause damaging stains, which may be difficult to remove. This can be prevented if the above-mentioned measures are taken to keep the product from oxidizing. Remove canopy during harsh weather including high winds, rain, and snow. Before storing, remove leaves and dirt, drain all water that may have accumulated in or around the frame. If not drained properly, water can cause freeze damage including bursting or cracking of metal tubing. Keep the original packaging to store the gazebo. Keep instruction manual for future reference.
