Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Sarasota Pergola is streamlined using the BILT app, which provides interactive 3D assembly instructions. It is critical to select a flat, level surface such as a concrete patio or a properly reinforced wooden deck before beginning. Ensure you have at least two to three people for the assembly process to handle the steel components safely.
Maintenance Tips:
- Cleaning: Periodically rinse the steel frame with a garden hose and mild soap to remove dust or pollen.
- Gutters: Regularly check the gutter guards to ensure they are free from leaves or debris to allow the drainage system to function correctly.
- Inspection: Tighten hardware annually if necessary, though the galvanized steel is highly durable.
