General Safety Precautions

Delivery and Set-up

Carefully read follow all safety instructions.

1.When installing and assembling your gazebo, it is recommended that two or more people be involved.

2.Do not use the unit during an electrical storm.

3.Do not climb on top of the gazebo. While the gazebo is made out of high-quality wood and is extremely durable, it is not meant to support weight. In addition, falling off of the gazebo while climbing on it can result in serious injury or death.

4.Do not attempt any repair without consulting the manufacturer ﬁrst. Unauthorized repairs will void the manufacturer’s warranty (within the ﬁrst 90 days).

Planning the Best Location for Your Gazebo

Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to prevent unsupervised access to the property by children under the age of ﬁve. Your dealer can provide information on which permits may be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your equipment.

The following are some of the things that you will need to consider when determining the placement of your new gazebo.

Consider How You Will Use Your Gazebo

How you intend to use your gazebo will help you determine where you should position it. For example, will you use your gazebo for recreational purposes? If your gazebo is mainly used for family functions, be sure to leave plenty of room around it for activity.

Consider Your Privacy

In a cold weather climate, bare trees won’t provide much privacy. Think of your gazebos surroundings during all seasons to determine your best privacy options. Consider the view of your neighbors as well, when you plan the location of your gazebo.

Provide A View With Your Gazebo

Think about the direction you will be facing when sitting in your gazebo. Do you have a special landscaped area in your yard that you ﬁnd enjoyable? Perhaps there is an area that catches a soothing breeze during the day and lovely sunset in the evening. Consider these things when you plan your location.

Preparing a Good Foundation

Your gazebo needs a solid and level foundation. The area that it sits on must be able to support the weight of the gazebo and the occupants who use it. If the foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the gazebo is in place, causing stress that could DAMAGE YOUR GAZEBO.

Place the gazebo on an elevated foundation (preferably a 3” concrete slab). Be sure that the concrete slab is at least 12” wider than the outside dimension on the gazebo.

•If you are installing a spa on an elevated wood deck or other structure, we strongly recommend that you consult a structural engineer or contractor to ensure the structure will support the weight of 150 Lbs./ sq. ft.

•It is strongly recommended that a qualiﬁed, licensed contractor prepare the foundation for your spa.
