Usage Features:
The gazebo is designed for outdoor use in gardens and leisure areas.
- Assembly Process: The assembly is broken down into steps:
- Step 1 & 2: Involves connecting upright legs (1) with foot plate parts (10) and adding clips (14) to the top of the legs and pre-drilled legs. Users are advised not to overtighten screws at this stage.
- Step 3 & 4: Focuses on adding cross supporting members using inserts G & F, attaching supporting side parts (5), and installing the curtain tracking bar inside the frame.
- Step 5: Details the assembly of the spider roof support frame (16), connecting all roof poles, ensuring corner poles (8) are correctly positioned, and securing the frame with bolts H2.
- Step 6: Guides users through applying the roof canopy (M) and curtains (N). The canopy should be spread evenly, securing elasticated ends and mid-sections first, leaving the four corners for last. The curtains are zipped together, with one curtain fitting every corner across one leg.
- Security: It is critically important to secure the gazebo to the ground immediately after assembly. Tent pegs are provided for grass surfaces, while fixing bolts must be used for hard surface patios.
- Wind Safety: In heavy winds, the canopy should be removed to prevent wind damage.
- Safety Precaution: Do not use a BBQ under the gazebo.
Maintenance Features:
- Frame Durability: The gazebo frame is designed to be left outside all year round.
- Canopy and Curtains Storage: For longevity, the curtains and canopy should be taken off during winter months and stored in a cool, dry, frost-free place. They should not be stored wet to prevent deterioration.
- Waterproofing: To maintain the canopy's freshness and waterproofing, it is recommended to use a waterproofing spray on the outside of the roof and curtains at least three times a year. Such sprays are available at tent/camping shops.
