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 fi ne. 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).
