6. Maintenance
6.1 Concealed Drainage System
The pergola features a concealed drainage system. Rainwater is collected in purposefully designed channels within the legs and efficiently drains out at the base, dispersing naturally into the ground. This design ensures a drip-free area beneath the pergola.
