Tips for Optimal Use
- Layout: Square your structure carefully before driving ground posts to ensure proper alignment and easier assembly.
- Anchoring: Additional anchoring may be needed in high-wind areas.
- Shade Cloth Installation: Install the four corners first, then tension the remaining sides evenly using the included ball bungees.
- Frame Setup: Use standard 1-3/8" top rail sourced locally for the horizontal frame sections.
- Post Installation: Check posts for plumb throughout installation to maintain a level structure.
- Seasonal Use: Shade cloth can be removed for storage or weather protection when not in use.
