HOW TO SET UP (OPEN GENTLY)
Follow these instructions carefully to avoid pinching your hands or fingers in any of the moving parts as the frame
opens and closes. To erect the folding gazebo requires two people.
1.Place your folding gazebo in the center of the area to be sheltered. Remove the carry bag and stand the folding
gazebo over on its feet.
With partner on the opposite side, grasp two outer legs, slightly lift the frame off the ground and take a step
backwards, stopping at full (outstretched) arm’s length.
2.Each partner should grasp the top and bottom of the diamond (see diagram) formed by the side supports on
opposite sides and push hands together while stepping backwards until the shelter is fully opened. Be careful not to
pinch your fingers or to pull backwards too hard as this will result in the side supports bending.
3.Engage the slider at each corner by pushing up with one hand while holding down the top of the leg with the other
hand (see diagram). A snap button will engage in the locating hole. Repeat this operation on the remaining three legs.
4.You and your partner should each place a foot on the foot plate of the bottom of adjacent legs and lift up the leg,
sliding the inner leg out until the snap button locks in the locating hole. Repeat this operation for the other two legs.
5.Square up the folding gazebo. Attach the hook and loop tabs located on the underside of the top cover, around the
frame struts.
6.Attach the guide ropes to the ring at each corner of the roof cover and attach to stakes, to secure your folding
gazebo to the ground or just hammer the stakes through the holes in each legs foot.
