Safety Warnings
- Adult Assembly Only: Assembly and maintenance must be performed by adults. We recommend at least 4 people.
- Surface Requirements: Install on level ground. Do not assemble on sandy, muddy, or loose soil as stakes will not provide adequate anchorage.

- Snow Removal: Remove snow from the roof when it exceeds 2 inches in thickness using a plastic snow rake to prevent damage.
- Protective Gear: Some parts may have sharp edges; wearing protective gloves is advised.

Assembly Steps
The assembly process involves constructing the frame, roof structure, and final finishing touches. Key steps include:






- Frame Construction: Assemble the posts and cross beams, ensuring the structure is level and square before tightening bolts.
- Roof Assembly: Install rafters, roof panels, and connectors. Do not overtorque bolts when assembling wooden parts to avoid splitting.
- Finishing: Attach curtains, mosquito netting, and final decorative elements.
- Anchoring: Secure the gazebo to the ground using the provided stakes or appropriate anchors for your surface.
Maintenance and Care
- Rust Prevention: Steel components are treated with rust-inhibiting paint. If scratches occur, touch them up immediately with rust-inhibiting paint.
- Cleaning: Surface rust can be removed with a light application of cooking oil or WD-40. Do not use bleach, acid, or abrasive cleaners on the roof or frame.
- Periodic Checks: Regularly check and tighten all nuts and bolts to ensure structural integrity.
