Operating Instructions
The Aoxun Louvered Pergola offers versatile control over your outdoor environment.
Adjusting Louvers
The pergola features two independently controlled louvered roof sections. Use the integrated handle mechanism to adjust the louvers from 0° (fully closed) to 75° (fully open). This allows you to customize the amount of shade, sunlight, and airflow.
- To Open: Rotate the handle to gradually open the louvers, allowing sunlight and air to pass through.
- To Close: Rotate the handle to close the louvers, providing full shade and protection from light rain.

Using Curtains and Netting
The pergola is equipped with a double track system for privacy curtains and breathable mesh netting. These can be independently drawn or retracted to provide privacy, protection from insects, or to allow for an open view.
- Privacy Curtains: Slide the curtains along the track to create a private enclosure or block direct sunlight.
- Mesh Netting: Use the netting to keep insects out while maintaining airflow.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Aoxun Louvered Pergola.
- Cleaning the Frame: Clean the aluminum frame with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Louver Care: Periodically check the louver mechanisms for smooth operation. Keep the louver surfaces clean to prevent debris buildup that could impede movement.
- Curtains and Netting: Clean curtains and netting according to their fabric care instructions. Ensure they are dry before storing or retracting for extended periods to prevent mildew.
- Drainage System: The built-in drainage system requires periodic inspection. Clear any leaves, dirt, or debris from the gutters and downspouts to ensure proper water flow and prevent pooling.

Seasonal Care
During winter months or periods of heavy snowfall, it is advisable to keep the louvers open to prevent excessive snow accumulation on the roof, which could exceed the 10-inch snow thickness tolerance. In areas prone to extreme winds, consider additional anchoring or temporary disassembly if feasible.
