PRECAUTION OF USE
This product should not be used in extreme weather: storms, violent winds, hail, and snow. We guarantee the resistance of the pergola for winds up to 63 mph and a maximum snow weight of 1526 lbs.
As in the case of strong winds or snow, we highly recommend leaving the louvers open. To maintain good working conditions of your louvres, please clear any snow on them.
Our pergola can withstand heavy rain, but we cannot guarantee it will be 100% waterproof due to some extreme weather conditions.
Exceptional climatic events may compromise the perfect sealing of the product.
To avoid any damages and injuries, we do not recommend climbing on the roof or the structure of the pergola.
TIPS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Depending on the location and surface area, construction may be subject to building permits. Make sure you have checked with your local authorities to obtain the needed information before the assembly.
Product assembly :
✔️ At least 2/3 people required
⏱️ Remove protective film (around 1 hour needed)
? Do not keep children near the assembly area
⚠️ Beware of the risk of pinching
? Do not tighten the screws before assembling the whole product
✅ All assembly steps must be carefully followed
? Check the level of the structure on all sides
⚓ Do not anchor the pergola before assembling the whole product
No changes can be made to the product. Products tampered with by the user are not covered by the warranty, thus being declared as void.
The location should be chosen carefully. It is recommended to avoid mounting your pergola on a rainy day, facing the prevailing winds, and under an overhanging tree.
The pergola must be mounted on a flat-level foundation. It is recommended to install it on a concrete slab or 10"X10" concrete pads at each post. Please, anchor the pergola properly to the ground using expansion screw.
If you would like to mount your pergola near your house or a building, please check the presence of gutters for water drainage.
Should these instructions not be followed or only partially, the warranty will be voided by the seller.
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure its longevity and aesthetic appearance.
We recommend to :
? Clean your pergola once or twice a year with fresh water using a sponge or cloth.
? Do not use detergent or an abrasive material.
? Check the tightness of the screws regularly (at least once a year).
⚙️ Oil fastening regularly (at least once a year).
? Make sure that nothing hinders the water flow in the gutters (leaves, branches...).
? Remove any water that might stagnate around the legs of the pergola (lift the posts skirts).

Cover the end caps on the beam.
Use the plastic cover to cover the screw holes where the beam is connected to the column.
Move the bottom of the columns according to the dimensions on the front page to ensure that the dimensions are the same, then use a 12mm impact drill bit to guide the holes, then put in the expansion screws and tighten them with a M17 spanner.
?️ Diagram for Step 3: Shows covering end caps on beams (DO). Plastic covers are used to hide screw holes. The bottom of columns are adjusted, holes are drilled (12mm impact drill bit), and expansion screws (RO) are tightened with an M17 spanner. Part TO is also shown.
