4. Setup and Assembly
Assembly typically requires two people and takes approximately 1.5 hours. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the included assembly guide for detailed diagrams and specific fastening procedures.
4.1 Frame Assembly
The pergola features a stable steel construction with square profiles (approx. 80x80 mm for posts, 50x30 mm for beams). The frame components are designed for quick assembly using a screw system. Ensure all connections are tightened securely for structural integrity. Welded ends on components enhance durability.

4.2 Anchoring
Once the frame is assembled, position the pergola in its desired location. Ensure the ground is level. Use the provided 8 concrete anchors to secure the pergola's base plates to a solid surface. If installing on a different surface (e.g., wood deck, soft ground), consult a professional for appropriate anchoring solutions.

4.3 Retractable Roof Installation
Install the shading sail onto the rail system according to the assembly instructions. The sail is made from durable polyester fabric (approx. 180 g/m²) with a PU coating, offering UV protection of 50+.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Extending and Retracting the Shading Sail
The shading sail operates on a rail system, allowing for easy extension and retraction. To extend the sail, gently pull it along the rails until it reaches the desired position. To retract, push the sail back along the rails. The sail can be magnetically locked in its retracted position.

5.2 Polycarbonate Panel Function
When the shading sail is retracted, a durable, translucent polycarbonate panel covers the sail. This panel protects the fabric from rain and dirt, extending its lifespan and maintaining its appearance.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Frame Care
- Clean the steel frame periodically with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots.
- Inspect the frame for any signs of corrosion or damage. Touch up any scratches with appropriate paint to prevent rust.
- Regularly check all bolts and screws and tighten them as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
6.2 Shading Sail Care
- Clean the fabric sail with a soft brush and mild soap solution. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Allow the sail to dry completely before retracting it for extended periods to prevent mildew.
- For prolonged periods of non-use or during winter months, it is recommended to remove and store the shading sail in a dry, protected area.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Stability Concerns
If the pergola exhibits instability or swaying, especially in windy conditions:
- Ensure all frame connections are securely tightened.
- Verify that the base plates are properly anchored to a solid, level surface. Consider additional anchoring methods if the existing ones are insufficient for your ground type or local weather conditions.
- Always retract the shading sail during strong winds.
7.2 Retractable Roof Mechanism Issues
If the shading sail does not extend or retract smoothly:
- Check the rail system for any obstructions (e.g., debris, leaves). Clean the rails if necessary.
- Ensure the fabric is properly aligned within the rails and not snagged.
- Inspect the magnetic locking mechanism for proper function.
