Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation is crucial for the stability of your pergola. The unit is designed to be a permanent, ground-fixed structure; therefore, it must be anchored securely to a solid, level surface such as a concrete patio or a reinforced deck.
Care Instructions
- Aluminum Frame: Wipe down periodically with mild soapy water to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
- Moving Parts: Periodically check the manual crank mechanism. If the rotation feels stiff, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the hinges of the roof slats.
- Winter Maintenance: Ensure the roof slats are kept clear of heavy debris or excessive snow buildup to prevent structural stress.
- Panel Care: Periodically check that all 19 fixed slats on the louvered side panels remain tightly secured.
