Operating Instructions
Adjusting the Louvered Roof
The pergola features two independently controlled louvered roof sections. These can be adjusted to control sunlight, shade, and airflow. Close the louvers to block sun, rain, and UV rays, or open them to create an open-air space.

Using Curtains and Netting
The pergola includes privacy curtains and breathable mesh netting. These can be used to enhance privacy, provide insect protection, and control airflow.
- Ventilation: Keep curtains and netting open for 360-degree views and maximum airflow.
- Insect Protection: Deploy the high-density netting to keep insects away.
- Privacy: Close the concealed curtains for enhanced privacy.

Integrated Drainage System
The pergola features an integrated drainage system to efficiently manage rainwater. Water collected by the louvered roof is channeled through hidden gutters within the posts to the ground, preventing pooling.

- Drainage System: Periodically check and clear any debris from the gutters and drainage channels to ensure efficient water flow.
- Weather Considerations: The pergola is designed to withstand various weather conditions. It has a maximum snow thickness tolerance of 10 inches and a maximum wind resistance grade of 7 (31-38 mph). In extreme weather, consider retracting curtains and netting and ensuring louvers are in a suitable position.
