Prepare the work area First, choose and measure the final location where you would like to place the product so that it will fit a 15 x 15’ square with 11’ height clearance. Then, choose an assembly area as close as possible to this final location and large enough to layout and pre-as- semble all the parts for this Gazebo. Check all the parts with the parts list on the previous page and make sure that none are missing. If you discover any missing parts, please visit www.pacificcurrentsinc.com or call 888-474-2770. Save your sales receipt as you will need this to obtain replacement parts. It is highly recommended that you cover the work surface with a tarp or other fabric to prevent scratches to the finish during assembly.

Tighten just enough so that the parts are no longer loose. Caution! Do not overtighten as this may bend or damage the steel frame. Plastic end caps are also provided to protect the nuts at each connection. You may attach those at this time. Step 10 - Attach Canvas Top and/or Bug Screen Carefully pull the canvas top over the gazebo roof frame and slide the vent bars into each respec- tive vent opening in the canvas. The fit will be very snug. You may need to reposition the gazebo legs slightly in order to pull the canvas top into position. Use the velcro straps to secure the can- vas top to the gazebo frame. If you purchased a bug screen, you may attach it now using the velcro straps provided. Also, you may use Part F to help you secure the gazebo to the ground. The spikes are not intended to permanently mount the gazebo to any surface. Page 7
- 8. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q: Will the gazebo frame ever rust? A: The powder coated finish of the metal frame prevents rusting 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 affected areas with weatherproof paint will ensure many years of continued enjoyment from your gazebo. Q: Does the gazebo include the fabric top? A: Yes! All our gazebos are sold with a weather and UV light resistant polyester fabric top. 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 wide range of weather conditions. 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 soft natural surface (grass or dirt), you may drive metal stakes (included) through the holes located at the bottom of the panels and into the ground. If the gazebo is installed over a hard surface (wooden decks or concrete patios) it will be necessary to separately purchase screws or bolts and nuts to affix the frame to your installation surface. Please visit your local hardware store for more options. For all customers, we highly recommend that you remove your canopy top in cases of severe inclement weather such as thunderstorms. Please exercise good judgement. 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. Q: I live in an area that snows in the winter. Should I be concerned about the weight of snow on my gazebo? A: You do not have to disassemble the gazebo during winter months. However, to prevent damage to your gazebo frame from heavy snow loads, remove the canvas top and store it in a dry location until spring. Your satisfaction is very important to us.
