Operating Instructions
Adjusting the Louvered Roof:
The louvered roof can be adjusted from 0° (fully closed) to 90° (fully open) to control sunlight and ventilation. Use the provided crank mechanism to smoothly rotate the louvers to your desired position. This allows you to enjoy full sun, partial shade, or complete protection from rain.
The ergonomic labor-saving louver crank allows for effortless and precise control over the roof's position, ensuring optimal comfort.

Rainwater Drainage System:
The integrated drainage system is designed to efficiently channel rainwater away from the roof. When the louvers are closed, water collects in hidden channels and is directed down through the interior of the four support posts, exiting at the base. Ensure the base of the posts is clear of debris to allow for proper drainage.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PURPLE LEAF pergola.
- Cleaning: Clean the aluminum frame and louvers periodically with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Drainage System: Regularly check the drainage channels and the base of the posts for any debris (leaves, dirt, etc.) that might obstruct water flow. Clear any blockages promptly.
- Moving Parts: Inspect the louver mechanism and other moving parts annually for smooth operation. Lubricate if necessary with a silicone-based spray.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as needed.
- Winter Care: While designed to be snow-resistant, in areas with heavy snowfall, it is advisable to clear excessive snow accumulation from the roof to prevent undue stress on the structure.
