AppendixCleaning 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 plexi-glass windows, use cheese cloth and warm water. These windows are made of plexi-glass 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).
