• To Retract the Canopy: Release the spring locks and gently push the canopy fabric back along the tracks until it is fully retracted.

Note: Always retract the canopy during strong winds, heavy rain, or snow to prevent damage to the fabric and structure.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your pergola.

• Canopy Cleaning: Clean the polyester canopy fabric periodically with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before retracting for storage.
• Frame Cleaning: Wipe down the aluminum frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder-coated finish.
• Water Drainage: After rain, check the canopy for any pooled water. Gently push up on the underside of the canopy to release accumulated water and ensure proper drainage through the built-in holes.
• Seasonal Storage: For prolonged periods of non-use or during harsh weather seasons, it is recommended to fully retract and secure the canopy, or remove it for indoor storage.

7. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Canopy not retracting/extending smoothly:
  - Check the sliding tracks for obstructions or debris. Clean if necessary.
  - Ensure the spring locks are fully disengaged/engaged.
• Water pooling on canopy:
  - This can occur after heavy rain. Gently push up on the underside of the canopy to release the water. Ensure the canopy is properly tensioned to minimize pooling.
• Pergola feels unstable:
