This gazebo is intended for decorative and sunshade purposes only. It is not designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including high winds, heavy rain, or snow. Assembly requires at least 4 adults and should be performed on level ground. Do not assemble on sandy, muddy, or loose soil as stakes will not provide sufficient anchorage.

Important Assembly Tips

• When assembling wooden parts, do not overtorque bolts to avoid splitting the wood.
• Use a level to ensure the assembly is properly leveled before proceeding.
• Check that the assembly is square before tightening bolts.
• Wear protective gloves as some parts may have sharp edges.

Assembly Steps

The assembly process involves 23 steps, starting with the base and frame construction, followed by the roof structure, and finishing with the installation of curtains and netting.

• Base and Frame: Assemble the posts (A1) and post bases (U1), then connect the cross beams (B7, B8, B1, B2) using the cross beam connectors (V1).
• Roof Structure: Install the roof rafters (D1, D3) and frames (E8, E6, E3, E4, V2). Secure the roof panels (MA, MB, MC, M4, M5, N1, N2, N3, N4, N5) using the specified hardware.
• Finishing: Attach the curtains (S7) and mosquito netting (S8) using the provided rings (HR) and connectors.

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 parts.
• Snow Removal: Remove snow from the roof when it is thicker than 2 inches using a plastic snow rake to avoid damage.
• Periodic Checks: Periodically check and ensure all nuts and bolts are tightened during use.
