6. Maintenance
- Cleaning the Frame: Clean the aluminum and steel frame with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Canopy Fabric: The polyester fabric can be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soapy water. Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach. Allow the fabric to air dry completely before retracting or storing.
- Seasonal Storage: For prolonged periods of non-use or during harsh winter conditions, it is recommended to remove the fabric canopy and store it in a dry, protected area.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections for tightness. Lubricate moving parts of the retraction mechanism if necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Canopy difficult to retract/extend | Dirt in tracks, misaligned fabric, lack of lubrication. | Clean tracks, ensure fabric is aligned, apply silicone lubricant to moving parts. |
| Pergola feels unstable | Loose bolts, uneven ground. | Tighten all assembly bolts. Ensure the pergola is placed on a level surface. Consider anchoring if in a windy area. |
| Water pooling on canopy | Canopy not taut, heavy rain. | Ensure canopy is fully extended and taut. Retract canopy during very heavy rainfall. |
