WARNING!
To reduce the risk of serious injuries or damage to equipment, read all the following
safety instructions before assembling and using the gazebo.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious injuries or death.
•
Keep all the children and pets away from assembly area. Children and pets should be supervised while the gazebo is being
assembled.
•
The assembled gazebo should be located at least 6 (2 m) from any obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging
branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires. Consult with your local municipal office for specific requirements.
•
This product is for domestic outdoor use, i.e. for decorative and sunshade purposes only.
•
Install the gazebo on level ground. Stakes are provided to secure the gazebo to the ground. Do not assemble the gazebo on
sandy, muddy, or loose soil, as stakes do not have enough anchorage in these types of soil. If you wish to secure the gazebo
to a wood deck or concrete surface, use anchors suitable for these surfaces (anchors not included).
•
Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary during assembly.
•
This unit is heavy. DO NOT assemble this item alone. Make sure there is sufficient manpower for safe assembling or moving
the gazebo.
•
Check all the nuts and bolts periodically for tightness and when required, tighten them again.
•
While this gazebo is manufactured to withstand winds through only the supplied ground stakes, in areas subject to frequent
severe weather, securing the gazebo to a deck, concrete patio, or footings should be considered.
•
Always ensure that the roof canvas is tensioned, so as to avoid water accumulation on the roof.
•
Remove accumulated water on the roof immediately, or disassemble the gazebo in order to avoid damages.
• DO NOT remove snow from inside the gazebo by pushing on the fabric. Use a snow rake from the outside of the gazebo
•
Snow must be cleared off regularly during snow days. Remove the snow at the top when it is thicker than 4 in. (10 cm). In
order to avoid damages, use a plastic snow rake to remove excessive snow and ice buildup from the roof and keep away
from falling debris.
•
ALWAYS DISASSEMBLE the gazebo before heavy wind conditions occur, as it is a semi-permanent construction that is not
designed to withstand harsh weather, including high wind, rain, and snow.
•
Please check your state and local regulations prior to purchasing. Some jurisdictions may require permits for installation and
use. Some special procedures may be valid in your area.
CAUTION:
• DO NOT use or enter the gazebo under harsh weather (e.g. thunderstorms, high winds, hail, heavy snow, etc.). In these
conditions, it might tip over and could cause serious injuries to bystanders. Any damage or injury caused by these conditions is
not covered by the warranty.
• DO NOT install the gazebo adjacent to trees or a sloped roof. Snow and ice may slide onto the gazebo and cause it to
collapse.
• DO NOT use or enter the gazebo if any of the following conditions, or similar ones, occur:
1. Visible movement of support members, roofing panels, or sagging roofline.
2. Creaks or audible noise from the gazebo.
3. Cracks, fractures, or malformation of support member or roof panels.
4. Damaged or missing fasteners.
• DO NOT hang any weights on the roof frame.
• DO NOT use ladder leaning against the gazebo or climbing onto the roof.
• Keep away from heat or flame source.
• If the gazebo will not be used for a long period of time (e.g. during winter time), disassemble and store it in a clean, dry
environment.
