Cleaning And Storing - Adlonco Holdings 40808 Manuel D'installation

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.
C. Repeat step 5B for the grommet on the opposite side until
done all around.
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 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 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.
