lightning strikes, flash floods, strong winds and other hazards
which may cause injury to this product or it’s occupants.

CAMPERS’ TIPS
The key to an enjoyable camping experience is planning and
preparation.
Before you go …
Research the area where you intend to camp. Prepare for any
possible weather condition. Be aware of hazards and emergency
protocol. Know the rules and regulations.
Check out your equipment before your trip. Be sure your cook
stove, lanterns, flashlights, air mattress, etc. are in good working
order. Erect your tent to become familiar with setup. Once
you’ve assembled your tent in a dry, well ventilated area, apply
seam sealing compound to the stitching of the inside seams
following manufacturer’s directions. Allow to dry thoroughly
before storage. Reapply annually.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Verify Package Contents
Gazebo Polyester fabric body:1 each
Steel,gazebo frame assembly-silver :1 each
IMPORTANT NOTES:
* Assemble your canopy before camping to become
familiar with the assembly.
* Two people are recommended for setup.
* Select a clean, level area for the campsite, free
of debris and sharp objects, away from any
natural watercourse.
Tent Stakes : 4 each
STEP 1: Verify Package Contents
Verify package contents by emptying contents of bag (s) and confirming all parts are
included and undamaged.
Note: Find the stakes in their pocket on the inside of your carry bag. Verify all contents at
home before you leave on your trip.
STEP 2: Pull and extend the frame
1) Select a smooth, level site for your canopy.
2) With two people on diagonal corners
of the structure, have each person grab
a leg and have one person stand in
place while the other walks the
frame out. Slide the roof lock
mechanisms located on each leg up
toward roof corners, two legs at a time; at
each leg, listen for lock to “click” into place.
Stop adjusting frame legs at mid- level
(half-way mark) for the next step.
STEP 3: Cover the Frame with Fabric Shell
1) Lay the fabric over the roof.
2) Line up all corners, adjusting from opposite sides. Fabric will fit snugly.
3) Locate the nylon fasteners on the underside of fabric body. Attach to
roof frame. Pay careful attention to the corners and inside top.

STEP 4: Extend the Legs
Step on frame leg base. Working from opposite sides, slide the roof lock
mechanisms (located on upper leg portion) upwards until they lock into place.
The amount of force necessary will be much less if you ensure the leg segment
remains in its slanted position (Do not try and straighten the legs as this could
damage the frame.).
TIP: You will hear and feel a click when the roof lock is correctly secured at
each position.
STEP 5: Stake Canopy
Stake canopy by driving stakes through the holes at the foot of each leg.
Tip: Use additional weights (sand bags, other heavy objects) on each foot
or place legs twelve inches down into sand to help secure set up for beach use.
Stakes alone will not secure canopy in sand or soft soil.
DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
• Store all poles and stakes in their corresponding bags to prevent possible tearing or damage to fabric.
STEP 1: Remove the Stakes
Carefully remove stakes by pulling out the hook ends.
Remove excess soil from the stakes.
STEP 2: Taking Down the Canopy
1) Press the push button located in the
middle of each leg, and carefully lower
two legs at a time.
Continue in this manner until frame legs
are again at mid-level (half-way mark).
2) Remember the fasteners are inside roof line, on side
scissors bars, and at corners. Detach all fasteners and
remove fabric shell completely off frame and fold for
storing.
NEVER STORE FABRIC ON FRAME. YOU MAY DAMAGE
FABRIC, FRAME, OR BOTH.
3) Press the snap buttons found on each leg
at each upper corner of frame, making sure
that all sides are detached from snap button.
Slowly slide roof line downward while walking
in. This should collapse frame completely.
STEP 3: Store in Carry Bag
1) To prolong the use of your canopy you will want to
store it correctly. After folding, place frame inside the
carry bag.
2) Return stakes to their bag.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
SOLUTION
PROBLEM
1. CONDENSATION
Condensation occurs when warm, moist air inside tent comes in contact with cooler outside air. Avoid touching walls to reduce contact leakage. Venting doors and
windows will reduce condensation. Store wet clothing outside of tent. A battery-powered fan may be helpful. Not applicable to screen houses.
2. MILDEW
To avoid mildew, store tent/screen house ONLY when thoroughly dry. However, if mildew occurs use a soft-bristle brush or sponge with mild dishwashing soap or Fels
Naptha soap to clean. Let dry thoroughly and a tent-approved water-repellent compound may be applied.
3. REPAIRING A TEAR
For small tears use a self-adhesive patch kit. We recommend a canvas or awning repair shop for larger tears.
4. FAULTY ZIPPER
Zippers are self-repairing. If the zipper separates, you can move the slider to the beginning of the zipper tape and rework the zipper.
5. FADING FABRIC
Do not leave up in direct sunlight longer than necessary. If left in sunlight for prolonged periods of time, fabric will fade and weaken.
6. USE OF STAKES
Stakes should be installed at a 45 angle using a hammer or mallet. Stake loops should be kept taut without over-stretching fabric or webbing. This could cause tears or
leakage. To remove safely, use a hammer or stake puller. Do not remove by pulling on the fabric.
