5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MELLCOM pergola.

• Cleaning: Clean the aluminum frame and roof panels with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder-coated finish.
• Drainage System: Periodically check the integrated drainage system for any blockages (leaves, debris) to ensure proper water flow. The system channels rainwater through the beams and down the legs.
• Motorized Components: Keep the motorized parts clean and free of debris. Do not lubricate unless specified by the manufacturer.
• Side Screens: Clean screens with a damp cloth. Ensure they are dry before retracting for extended periods to prevent mildew.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
