IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please read and follow the safety statements, warnings, and care directions before using the gazebo. Keep these instructions handy for future reference.
• Do not leave the gazebo/marquee erected in severe weather conditions, as damage may occur to the fabric and structure.
• Do not leave the gazebo/marquee outside unattended. This can cause your gazebo/marquee to serious damage. Pop up gazebo and event marquee are designed as temporary shelters.
• Take great care of the gazebo/marquee in windy conditions and make sure always using tie-down ropes and pegs provided to prevent property damage or personal injury. Further support can be achieved by using sandbags and leg weight on each leg. 
• Take great care of the gazebo/marquee in rain, make sure water does not pond on the canopy; the weight of the water could cause breakage and collapse.
• Do not fold up the gazebo/marquee with the canopy still attached. Remove canopy from the frame after use and store them in a dry place at room temperature then use them again the following day.
• Take a canopy down and store it away when is not being used, because long term exposure to sunlight will make colour fading easily and even damage.
• Allow the gazebo/marquee & accessories to completely dry before packing down and fitting the storage bag, do not store away wet.
• Keep flame and heat sources away from the gazebo/marquee fabric to prevent damage and safety hazard.
• Your Hercules™ Instant Shelter is NOT covered under warranty if damage occurs due to adverse weather conditions, incorrect erection, dismantling, packing, storage and colour fading of any fabric. However, Hercules™ Instant Shelter offers a repair service and replacement at a reasonable price. You can find more details about Repair in the Repair section in this article. 

 

CLEANING

FABRIC

• To regularly clean the canopy/side is recommended.
• Wipe down the surface with fresh cold water after use. To remove marks, wash it with hands or use a soft brush with cold water and a household mild detergent is recommended. Allow the gazebo to dry thoroughly.
• Do not use machine-wash and hand wash in hot water. Use a UV Protectant (specifically for fabric use) on the canopy and sides to prevent fading, cracking and premature ageing.

FRAME:
• To regularly clean the gazebo/marquee frame is recommended.
• Use a silicone spray on the frame either after use or in damp conditions. This will ensure your frame operates easily and will maintain a clean look. Be sure to remove any excess spray before attaching the roof.
• Ensure screws and nuts and bolts are checked and tightened using an Allen key or screwdriver on a regular basis.
• Do not use solvents on any parts of the gazebo/marquee.

 

STORAGE

• Frame and fabric need to be stored separately to prevent damage.
• Store in a dry place at room temperature is recommended.
• Always allow the gazebo/marquee to dry completely before packing and stowing. Pack away in damp, dirty or wet condition is not recommended.
• Avoid excessive pressure and contact with the non-colourfast material. Excessive sunlight exposure is not recommended.

 

TRANSPORT

To prevent damage during the transit, DO NOT position your gazebo horizontally with the canopy still attached.  Keep the gazebo/marquee protected with a protective cover such as a carry bag.
