STEP 1 β€” Fully Set Up the Gazebo Frame

  • Open the gazebo completely
  • Lock all joints
  • Adjust height
  • Secure legs with weights or pegs

  • Zippers for entry panels

Lay the sidewall flat and identify:

  • Top edge
  • Bottom hem
  • Zipper direction (if applicable)

STEP 3 β€” Attach the Top Velcro First

Start from one corner and:

βœ” Wrap the top Velcro around the gazebo roof frame βœ” Move gradually from corner to corner βœ” Ensure even tension

This step supports the entire sidewall weight.

STEP 4 β€” Secure the Side Velcro to Legs

Attach vertical Velcro straps around each gazebo leg.

βœ” Pull snug, not too tight βœ” Ensure wall hangs straight βœ” Avoid twisting fabric

STEP 5 β€” Zip or Overlap Side Panels (If Multiple Walls)

f using 2–4 sidewalls:

  • Zip panels together
  • Overlap edges to block gaps
  • Ensure door zippers move smoothly

STEP 6 β€” Secure Bottom (Optional but Recommended)

Depending on model:

  • Use ground loops + pegs
  • Use weights or sandbags
  • Let fabric rest slightly on ground (for rain seal)
