6. Maintenance
The SORARA Mirador 111S Pergola is designed to be largely maintenance-free, thanks to its weather-proof and rust-resistant aluminum and steel construction. However, regular checks and simple care can extend its lifespan.
- Cleaning: Clean the frame and louvers periodically with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Drainage System: The integrated drainage system efficiently channels rainwater through the posts. Periodically check the notches at the base of the posts to ensure they are clear of debris to maintain proper water flow.
- Weather Precautions: As mentioned in the safety section, ensure louvers are open during high winds and do not allow snow to accumulate on the roof.
- Fasteners: Occasionally inspect all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight and secure.

7. Troubleshooting
While the SORARA Mirador 111S Pergola is built for durability, minor issues may arise. Here are some common troubleshooting tips:
- Louvers not adjusting smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the louver mechanism or along the tracks. Ensure the crank handle is properly engaged.
- Water pooling on roof: Verify that the louvers are fully closed and properly aligned. Check the integrated drainage system for any blockages.
- Pergola feels unstable: Re-check all assembly bolts and ensure they are tightened. Confirm that the pergola base is securely anchored to the ground using the supplied expansion bolts.
