N.B. After the first few poles have been installed, you will
have to apply a slight pressure to flex the tubes when
attaching to the panels. After completely inserting all the
poles the roof will be domed shaped.
5. To install the roof:
To make sure your roof is taut, please read instructions
prior to attempting installations of the roof.
The vinyl laminated roof material is cut and sewn by hand in
the same manner as clothes. Slight variations in the sections
of the roof can be present.
The roof may shrink slightly after approximately three (3)
seasons, after which there should not be anymore shrinking.
If you find the roof tight due to abnormal shrinking, and is
hard or impossible to install, the roof tubes can be shortened
by taking a hacksaw and cutting off ½” or whatever is
required to make it fit properly.
A. Unfold vinyl roof and spread evenly on the ground with
seams of binding up (on the outside surface). Flip roof over
the tubes from the side so the seams are face down. Allow
time for fabric to “relax”. Install roof. Make sure to line
up the door opening and the door.
B. Place grommets over one tube tip by grasping the
material with both hands and pressing both thumbs on the
frame for leverage, pull the top toward you and secure
grommet to the tube tip.
C. Repeat step 5B for the grommet on the opposite side until
done all around.
D. If adjustments are needed, simply turns the nut on the
metal tube tip with a ¾” open wrench until roof is tight.
N.B. It is common for small needle holes to be visible; the
vinyl has been stitched. Vinyl material is not like cloth
fibres it will not contract after being pierced with a sewing
needle. During the first several rains, it may leak.
However, the thread used has a cotton wrap that expands
when it gets wet so it should close the needle holes and stop
the leaks. If the leaks continue, apply a liquid sealer (not
supplied).
6. To install door latch:
A. On the doorframe there are three holes supplied for
mounting the door latch.
B. Assemble components as
per sketch in box. You may
need to cut pin to size.
C. With the door in the
closed position, drill holes for
striker plate, put on frame and
adjust so door can close and open freely.
7. To anchor screenhouse:
A. Verify that all walls are straight while paying special
attention to the doorframe.
B. Take hold down brackets (85-8) and slide into the
frame. Two (2) brackets per frame fastened with screws
(not supplied).
C. If you are setting the room up in your backyard not on
concrete or wooden deck, you will need to order a lawn
anchor kit.
8. Cleaning and storing
A. You must disassemble the Gazebo for the winter
by reversing the assembly techniques.
B. Clean the roof before storage by using a mild detergent,
add warm water, and scrub with a medium bristle brush.
Rinse thoroughly.
C. IMPORTANT –Be certain that the top fabric and
ribbed webs are thoroughly dry before folding. Moisture,
if trapped in folds, will cause rot and mildew.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
WIND: in the event of strong winds or storms are
forecast, remove roof entirely. SNOW: Roof must be
removed after seasonal use.
NOTE: Because the roof is a vinyl laminate, under certain
conditions it may display a slight relaxing effect causing
slight depressions. Should water collect in these
depressions remove by standing inside the screenhouse and
pushing the roof upward and outward.
FLAME RETARDANCY: While this screenhouse meets
CPAI Code 84 for flame retardancy, keep open flames and
inflammable materials outside and at a safe distance.
