Once you have purchased your Gazebo, it
is important to learn how to condition the
canopy and to fit the canopy correctly to
minimise the risk of water collecting on
the canopy. Simply pitch your Gazebo and
wet the canopy down with your garden
hose until the fabric and all seams are
saturated. Pay particular attention to the
seams - the thread swells when wet and
blocks the needle holes. The needle holes
also shrink around the thread. The fabric
also benefits from this because the fibre
swells into the weave and the waterproof
treatment settles within the fabric. Let the
canopy dry completely before repeating
this wetting and drying process until there
is no leakage during hosing. Always pack
your canopy away dry.
It is important to note during this process
the flow of water off the canopy and the
importance of fitting the canopy correctly
and avoiding panels of the canopy
without tension. During rain roof panels
without tension will allow water to collect
into ponds instead of running off. To
avoid water collecting ensure the Gazebo
is level and the corners of the canopy are
fitted without gathered fabric. Ensure the
Velcro on the canopy aligns correctly with
the Velcro at the top of the legs as
indicated in Figure 9. Finally locate the
adjustable webbing strap with hook
positioned half way along the inside of
the canopy side panel. Insert the hook
into the slot in the scissor action black
strut black plastic connector as indicated
in Figure 10. Now tension the webbing
strap adjustor to ensure there is no loose
fabric for water to collect in the roof area.
