4. Operating Instructions
Adjusting the Sun Shade Canopy
The pergola features an adjustable sling canopy designed for flexible positioning to control sunlight exposure.
- To adjust the canopy, gently slide it along the metal guide rails on both sides of the pergola.
- Position the canopy to your desired shade level. The canopy can be locked in place to maintain its position.
- For full sun exposure, retract the canopy completely. For maximum shade, extend it fully.

5. Maintenance
- Canopy Cleaning: The waterproof fabric canopy is easy to clean. Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow to air dry completely before retracting. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Frame Cleaning: Wipe the steel frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
- Seasonal Care: During periods of strong winds, heavy rain, or snowfall, it is recommended to retract or remove the canopy to prevent damage to both the canopy and the frame.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
