Assembly Overview
The assembly process involves constructing the main frame, installing the roof structure, attaching the metal panels, and securing the netting. Follow the steps in the manual sequentially.
Panel Installation
When installing the metal panels, ensure you overlap adjacent panels as shown in the diagrams. This is crucial for the structural integrity and weather resistance of the gazebo. All subsequent metal panel installations should follow this overlapping method.
Anchoring and Stability
To improve wind resistance, you must anchor the gazebo to the ground. Failure to do so may cause the structure to topple in strong winds.
- Cement Surfaces: Use the provided expansion screws.
- Grassy Surfaces: Use the provided ground nails.
Both types of anchors are included in the accessories package.
