6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Adjustable Louvered Roof
The pergola features an adjustable louvered roof, allowing you to control sunlight and shade. The top is composed of multiple louver sections that can be individually adjusted using a hand crank mechanism.
- Opening Louvers: Turn the handle to open the louvers, allowing sunlight and airflow. This is ideal for sunbathing or enjoying an open sky view.
- Closing Louvers: Turn the handle to close the louvers, providing shade and rain protection. When fully closed, the herringbone design and integrated gutter system efficiently direct rainwater away.

6.2 Integrated Gutter System
The pergola features an innovative herringbone-shaped design for the louvered roof, which, combined with horizontal crossbeams, forms an efficient built-in eaves gutter system. This system directs rainwater from each panel into the support pillars, preventing water accumulation on the roof.

6.3 Curtains and Netting
The pergola includes both waterproof curtains and insect netting, which can be operated independently on a double-track system.
- Privacy and Sun Protection: Use the curtains for increased privacy or additional shade from direct sunlight.
- Insect Protection: Deploy the netting to create an enclosed space, protecting against insects while maintaining airflow.
- Securing Curtains/Netting: Utilize the humanized straps located on the upper, middle, and lower sections to tie back or secure the curtains and netting, preventing them from flapping in windy conditions.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan and preserve the appearance of your EROMMY Louvered Pergola.
- Cleaning the Frame: Clean the aluminum frame with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Louver Cleaning: Periodically clean the louvered panels to remove leaves, debris, or dirt that may accumulate. This ensures smooth operation and efficient drainage.
- Curtain and Netting Care: The polyester curtains and netting can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. For deeper cleaning, follow care instructions on the fabric tags. Ensure they are dry before storing or closing for extended periods to prevent mildew.
- Hardware Check: Annually, or more frequently if exposed to harsh weather, check all bolts, screws, and connections. Tighten any loose hardware.
- Drainage System: Ensure the built-in eaves gutter system and support pillar drainage channels are free from blockages (e.g., leaves, dirt) to prevent water accumulation.
