Cleaning and Maintenance

Your gazebo was designed with low cleaning and
maintenance in mind. We recommend that the gazebo
be cleaned at least twice a month (or more, if needed).
When cleaning your gazebo, do not use cleaning
solvents -- using a sponge and water will be fine. For
ground-in dirt and grime, refer to the following section.
Maintaining your gazebo is an easy task. We recommend
that every six months you inspect the wood on your
gazebo. Take note of any deformities in the wood (i.e.
cracking, peeling, dirt, grime, etc.). Spot sand these
areas with 120-grit sandpaper and wipe these areas
clean with a damp rag. When dry, apply a coat of stain
or paint to the sanded area. Wipe the stained area clean
and reapply until the sanded area matches the rest of
the gazebo.
An 8 oz. can of stain is supplied with each gazebo.
To replace the can of stain, contact your local Cal
Enclosures dealer.
On models that have Plexiglas windows, use cheese
cloth and warm water. These windows are made of
Plexiglas and do not hold up well under abrasive
commercial cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Q: Why won't the windows on the gazebo stay open
or closed?
A: This is most likely due to the fact that your foundation
is not level. Foundations will most likely have a 1/4" pitch
for drainage reasons. To rectify this problem, the gazebo
should be shimmed on the low side. Using a standard
level, shim the low side so that the gazebo is level.
Q: Why won't the roof panels sit correctly on the
roof frame?
A: Check the top plate on the top center frame and make
sure it is level and installed correctly.
Q: My roof and wall panels are not lining up correctly,
and there are small gaps in the joint seams . Why is
this?
A: The main support post is not plumb (meaning vertically
level). Make sure the main support post is plumb. Also,
make sure that each of your main support beams is
square in relation to the main support post (meaning that
there is a 90 degree angle when the main support post
and the main support beam intersect).
