5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Adjustable Louvered Roof
The louvered roof allows for independent adjustment of two rows of louvers, enabling you to control sunlight, ventilation, and shade. The louvers can be adjusted from 0° to 130° to suit your preferences throughout the day.

5.2 Built-In Drainage System
The pergola is equipped with an integrated drainage system. This system collects rainwater from each louver panel and channels it to the built-in gutter system, which then drains the water off via the columns. This design prevents water accumulation on the roof and keeps the area underneath dry.

5.3 Privacy Curtains and Bug Netting
The pergola features a double-track system with double-sided zippers for easy sliding of both the bug netting and privacy curtains. The bug netting provides ventilation while keeping insects out, and the privacy curtains offer shade, UV protection, and create a more secluded space.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your Domi Louvered Pergola.
- Cleaning: Clean the aluminum frame and louvered panels with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Curtains and Netting: The waterproof curtains and bug netting can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. For deeper cleaning, follow specific fabric care instructions if provided. Ensure they are dry before storing or retracting for extended periods to prevent mildew.
- Drainage System: Periodically check the drainage grooves and columns for debris (leaves, dirt) and clear them to ensure proper water flow.
- Hardware: Inspect all bolts and fasteners periodically and tighten if necessary to maintain structural integrity.
- Winter Care: In areas with heavy snowfall, it is advisable to keep the louvers open to prevent snow accumulation and potential damage to the roof structure. Consider removing curtains and netting for storage during harsh winter months.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your pergola.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Louvers do not close properly or have gaps. | Misalignment, bent louvers, obstruction in the mechanism. | Check for obstructions. Inspect louvers for any bending or damage. Ensure the adjustment mechanism is clean and operating smoothly. If bent, contact customer support for replacement parts. |
| Water leakage from the roof. | Louvers not fully closed, clogged drainage system, extreme weather (sideways rain). | Ensure louvers are completely closed. Clear any debris from the drainage grooves and columns. While the system is highly waterproof, extreme sideways rain may cause some moisture. Consider closing curtains for additional protection. |
| Curtains/Netting do not slide smoothly. | Debris in tracks, damaged sliders, fabric obstruction. | Clean the double-track system of any dirt or debris. Check sliders for damage. Ensure curtains/netting are properly aligned in the tracks. |
| Pergola feels unstable. | Loose fasteners, improper anchoring, uneven ground. | Check and tighten all bolts and fasteners. Ensure the pergola is securely anchored to a level surface using appropriate expansion screws. Re-level the ground if necessary. |
