Is there a trick to putting the cover on ? It is VERY tight &amp; we can't get it over the final corner...would a hairdryer work to stretch the fabric ??

you are right it's very tight & it's what keeps the poles together. It helps to have 2 people but u just have to go one leg at a time & attach latch on leg as you go. It took all my strength to pull it down, you won't rip it it's very strong, this is a great gazebo & I've had many! Good luck:)

There are a set of adjusters on each side of the cover that can be used to tighten the cover using a socket of wrench. As received it was plenty tight. When the cover is rolled out, the end is placed in a set of clips that pull the cover into tension. The manual says that over time the cover will stretch, so the adjusters would be tightened to pick up the slack. Hope that helps.

Hi there. I had the same problem too. Until I discovered that if you stand with the iron rest end of the ironing board in front of you. Place your feet on the ends of the legs. And very easily slide/pull the iron rest toward you. Yes. That's it. Then when you're done just push it back closer to the board. I just love this ironing board. And yes. The covers are thin but I put a piece of that polyester batting (cut to shape) under the cover to plump it up a little bit. And I use snug straps/sheet tighteners to make the cover lay nice + flat + tight. They're available on Amazon. Have a good week! Hi there. I had the same problem too.

I am having the same problem. I can't figure out how to open the plastic covers to shorten the knot. Anyone else out there know how??

I think you have to exend yours out to make it tighter. I made mine pretty taut. First, unscrew it so that it'sabout 4-6' wider than the space, then compress it so that it fits in snugly.

I had the same ? I saw a special shower curtain on amazon that has a section that tucks into the chair. Also I read some folks using two curtains like on a window pulling one behind the chair and tucking around the side and folding on bench while the curtain on the other side pulled to within that curtain and folded up on the inside of the other curain from the back on the chair also . Some stated they tuck the curtain under their leg. I don't know how it would work if someone has to help. A hand held shower head is a must . Many happy bubbles!!

Also, be careful when you close it. A metal part always catches on mine and pulls at the fabric. This actually caused the fabric to tear. I try not to collapse mine if I don't have to now.

It's very tight on the structure. If it shrinks after the wash, it won't be easy to put it back on.

Mine does not slip around at all. Maybe you could sew one of the seams tighter. No other ideas. Sorry.

im guessing simple soap and water would do the trick. its NOT a stretchy material at all. Pretty simple design and I do not think it would be harmed by soap/water and letting it air dry

Hi. I put mine is the washer and then let it air dry and it still remained in tact and did the job. It was the best one that I found. I intend to buy another very soon. Hope this answer your question.

Hi. I didnt have any difficulty. The housing cover is snug, but i was able to manage it. Good luck!

sorry I am not sure, would probably cut a hole in the fabric, there is no way to get the cover off and then put it back on,

I wouldn't dry it. Allow it to air dry or dry on no heat. Mine was a very snug fit to the point it almost looked like it wasn't going to fit. I would be afraid it would shrink. Also, because I didn't get to see it before it was put together, my husband mentioned it had some sort of liner for the inside and that may be some sort of "protector" for the cushion inside. Washing it may ruin it. Idk. It may be easier to get carpet or fabric cleaner and scrub with bristle brush?

Tell me about it!!, I took off the covers to wash and they shredded so much on the inside it was hard to get them zipped up. I would be curious how much it would cost to have new covers made in a different material. I hate the fabrics! I know that doesn't help. I have to agree with you.Good luck. Jody

You fold it up like those sun covers for inside your car. Hold it with both hands, one at each end and give it a twist. You may have to try this more than once. It sometimes fights back. ;)

I just used a full sized silicon cover and folded it under and taped it to keep the wrinkles out. Good luck.
