Operating Instructions
Adjusting the Louvered Roof
The pergola features an adjustable louvered roof, allowing you to control the amount of sunlight and airflow. Use the smooth hand crank mechanism to rotate the louvers.
- Open Position (0°): Rotate the crank to fully open the louvers for maximum sunlight and ventilation.
- Closed Position (90°): Rotate the crank to fully close the louvers to provide shade and protection from rain.
- Intermediate Positions: Adjust the louvers to any angle between 0° and 90° to customize your desired level of shade and light.

Integrated Drainage System
The pergola is equipped with a built-in drainage system. When the louvers are closed, rainwater is channeled through a concealed gutter system. The water then flows down inside the integrated columns and exits discreetly at the base, ensuring a dry area underneath.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your pergola.
- Cleaning: Clean the aluminum frame and louvers periodically 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.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary.
- Drainage System: Periodically check the drainage channels and column bases for any debris that might obstruct water flow. Clear any blockages to ensure proper drainage.
- Winter Care: In areas with heavy snowfall, it is recommended to keep the louvers open or clear snow accumulation from the roof to prevent excessive weight on the structure.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Garvee Louvered Pergola, consider the following:
- Louvers not adjusting smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the louver mechanism or along the tracks. Ensure the hand crank is properly engaged.
- Water pooling on the roof: Verify that the louvers are fully closed when rain is expected. Inspect the drainage system for blockages and clear any debris.
- Pergola feels unstable: Re-check all anchoring points and ensure they are securely fastened to a level and stable surface. Verify all frame connections are tight.
- Missing parts during assembly: Refer to the parts list in your assembly guide. Contact customer support with the specific part numbers for assistance.
