FAQ (Frequently Asked Ques
Ɵ
ons)
Q: Will the gazebo frame ever rust?
A:
The powder coated
fi
nish of the metal frame prevents rus ng so long as the metal itself is
not exposed. Exposure of the metal may occur due to accidental scratches or long-term wear
and tear. Occasional touch ups to a
ff
ected areas with weatherproof paint will ensure many
years of con nued enjoyment from your gazebo.
Q:
Can I use grills or barbecues inside the gazebo?
A:
No, we do not recommend this. While the canopy top is fabricated using a
fi
re resistant
material, our gazebos are not designed to accomodate an open
fl
ame. Please refrain from
using your grill inside the gazebo.
Q:
Will the gazebo move or blow away in strong winds?
A:
Several features of our design were considered to allow the gazebo to remain very stable
across a range of weather condi ons. The four vents in the canopy top help to allow low to
medium winds to pass through the covering.
However, if you install the gazebo in an area where strong winds are persistent, it is advisable
to take further steps to fasten the gazebo to the ground. If the gazebo is installed over a so
natural surface (grass or dirt), you may drive metal stakes (included) through the holes located
at the bo om of the panels and into the ground. If the gazebo is installed over a hard surface
(wooden decks or concrete pa os) it will be necessary to separately purchase screws or bolts
and nuts to a
ffi
x the frame to your installa on surface. Please visit your local Mills Fleet Farm
Store for more op ons.
Q:
I like being outdoors, but cannot stay for long because of mosquitoes. Are bug screens
available for my gazebo?
A:
Yes! Bug screens for all gazebo models are available separately for purchase as an
accessory.
