Monthly Checks
We will always recommend that you complete monthly all-round inspections of your wooden gazebo. This helps you to spot anything out of the ordinary. Meaning you will be able to fix and maintain the life of your gazebo before the issue becomes too major that the whole piece needs to be taken down and replaced.
Inside Checks
Every time you use your gazebo you should complete an indoor inspection. During this inspection, you should be looking out for any spiderwebs and wasp or bees nests. Removing spiderwebs as and when you see them helps you to prevent spiders from overtaking, this is especially good if you are scared of spiders. If you spot wasps or bees nest forming, inform a professional before it becomes too large so they can safely remove it from your gazebo.
