Picture this - you're sitting outside on a cool fall day enjoying your beautiful Shade N' Shelters hardtop gazebo thinking to yourself, how do I increase the lifespan of my gazebo? Here are 5 tips to help you out!
Tip #1: Secure Your Gazebo
This might be the single most important thing you can do to prolong the lifespan of your gazebo. All Shade N' Shelters gazebos include base plates and ground stakes to anchor your gazebo into ground. Alternatively, if your gazebo is placed on concrete or decking, we recommend using anchor bolts to secure your gazebo.
Tip #2: Preventative Maintenance
We recommend routinely inspecting the gazebo hardware and parts for any damages and to assure all hardware is securely fastened. If you notice any damaged parts or hardware, immediately contact Shade N' Shelters customer support team to replace all damaged parts.
Tip #3: Watch for Tree Branches
With snowstorms, heavy rains, and gusty winds happening throughout the year, keep an eye out for loose or dead tree branches that could fall and land on your gazebo. We recommend clearing any hazards from around your gazebo to help prevent any damages.
Tip #4: Use a Winter Cover
A great way to increase the lifespan of your gazebo is by protecting it from weather elements. Our Shade N' Shelters outdoor winter covers do just that! We recommend covering your gazebo throughout the winter months or when not in use. Additionally, our winter covers are great for storing patio furniture, lawn mowers, or other summer tools throughout the winter months.
Tip #5: Add a Winter Support Pole
Do you live in a snowy climate? Increase your gazebo's snow load capacity an additional 20 lbs per square foot when you use the Winter Support Pole.
Conclusion:
You've invested your time and hardworking money into your gazebo. These 5 tips will help you protect your investment so you can continue to enjoy your hardtop gazebo for many years.
