6. To install the roof
To make sure your roof is taut, please read
instructions prior to attempting installation 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
shrinkage.
If you find the roof too tight due to abnormal shrinking,
and it's hard or impossible to install, the roof tubes can
be shortened by taking a hacksaw and cutting off ½" at
a time.
A.
Unfold vinyl roof and spread evenly over frame
with seams of binding up (on the outside surface).
Throw roof over the tubes from the side, not the end to
avoid undue stress on a single hub. Allow time for the
fabric to relax. Install roof during warm weather, or
warm part of the day, for easiest installation.
B.
Place grommet over one tube tip by grasping
the material with both hands and pressing both thumbs
on the top toward you and secure grommet to the tube
tip.
Repeat step 5B for the grommet on the opposite side
until done all around.
C.
Tighten the nut on the tube tips to maintain a
small amount of tension.
N.B.: It is common for small needle holes to be
visible where vinyl has been stitched. As vinyl
material is not like cloth fibers, it will not contract
after being pierced with a sewing needle. During the
first several rains, it may be possible to 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 leaks continue, apply a
liquid sealer (Not supplied, but usually available from
dealer).

7. To anchor screenhouse
A.
Verify that all walls are straight paying special
attention to the door frame.
B.
Take hold down brackets (85-008) and slide
into the frame as per diagram, two brackets per frame,
on the inside of the gazebo. Fasten to the base 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.
If installed outside, you must disassemble the
gazebo for winter by reversing the assembly
techniques.
B.
Clean the roof before storage by using a mild
detergent. Add warm water, scrubbing with a medium
bristle brush. Rinse thoroughly.
C.
IMPORTANT. Be absolutely certain that the
top and rib webs are thoroughly dry before folding.
Moisture, if trapped in folds, will cause rot and mildew.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
WIND: In the event strong winds or storms are
forecasted, remove entirely.
SNOW: Roof must be removed after seasonal use.
NOTE: Because the roof is a vinyl laminate, under
certain conditions it may display slight depressions.
Should water collect in these depressions, remove it by
standing inside the screenhouse and pushing upward
and outward with a soft object.
