Operating Instructions
Your Domi Louvered Pergola features an adjustable roof system designed for flexible light, shade, and ventilation control.
Adjusting the Louvers:
- The louvered roof is divided into three independent zones. Each zone can be adjusted separately using its dedicated crank system.
- To adjust, locate the crank handle for the desired zone. Rotate the crank to open or close the louvers from 0 to 90 degrees.
- 0 Degrees (Fully Closed): Provides maximum shade and rain protection.
- 90 Degrees (Fully Open): Allows maximum sunlight and ventilation.
- Intermediate Positions: Adjust as needed for desired light and airflow.

Winter Operation:
- During periods of heavy snowfall, it is recommended to open the louvers to reduce snow load pressure on the roof structure.
Maintenance
The Domi Louvered Pergola is designed to be low-maintenance, thanks to its powder-coated galvanized steel construction and efficient drainage system.
Routine Care:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the frame and louvers with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Drainage System: Regularly inspect the hidden drainage system and gutters for any debris (leaves, twigs, etc.) that might obstruct water flow. Clear any blockages to ensure efficient water runoff and prevent leaks.
- Hardware: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary.
- Rust Prevention: The galvanized steel is rust-proof. However, if any scratches or chips occur in the powder coating, touch them up promptly to prevent potential rust.
