2. Safety Information
It is crucial to adhere to all safety guidelines during the assembly, installation, and operation of your Aoxun Louvered Pergola. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the product.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Adjusting the Louvered Roof
The louvered roof can be adjusted from 0° (fully closed) to 75° (partially open) using the integrated handle. This allows you to control the amount of sunlight, shade, and ventilation. Two areas of the roof can be adjusted independently.
- To open the louvers: Rotate the handle to move the louvers towards the open position.
- To close the louvers: Rotate the handle to move the louvers towards the closed position. Ensure they are fully closed for maximum rain and UV protection.

6.2 Drainage System
The pergola is equipped with a built-in gutter system. When the louvers are closed, rainwater is collected by the gutters, channeled through the beams, and then flows down the interior of the columns to drain at the base. This design prevents water pooling on the roof.

6.3 Using Netting and Curtains
The included netting provides protection from insects while maintaining airflow and an open view. The privacy curtains can be drawn for increased privacy or to retain warmth during cooler weather.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your Aoxun Louvered Pergola.
- Cleaning: Clean the aluminum frame and louvers periodically with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Drainage System: Periodically check the drainage channels and column bases for any debris (leaves, dirt) that might obstruct water flow. Clear any blockages to ensure proper drainage.
- Moving Parts: Inspect the louver adjustment mechanism for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts, avoiding contact with fabric.
- Fasteners: Annually check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Fabric Care: Clean curtains and netting according to their specific care instructions, typically with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before storing or folding to prevent mildew.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water pooling on roof when louvers are closed | Drainage channels are blocked; Louvers not fully closed. | Clear any debris from gutters and drainage paths. Ensure louvers are completely closed and aligned. |
| Louvers are stiff or difficult to adjust | Accumulation of dirt/debris; Lack of lubrication. | Clean the louver mechanism. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts. |
| Pergola feels unstable or wobbly | Anchor bolts are loose or not properly installed; Uneven foundation. | Check and re-tighten all anchor bolts. Ensure the foundation is level and stable. Consult a professional if necessary. |
