What kind of maintenance does the gazebo require?
A. Like any wood product, it does require a certain amount of regular maintenance. We recommend that in a good weather to stain the gazebo exterior as soon as possible with a quality semi-transparent stain of cedar tone (or favored color) in oil base or waterbase or apply with an oil based clear preservative coat. After that once a year or two you can re-stain the gazebo. In areas with high U.V. concentrations (high altitudes), the stain with U.V. protection and sealing properties is better. The real key is keeping it protected from U.V. and total water saturation, as these both will severely damage the wood grain over time.
