RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE OPERATION OF PERGOLS, WHAT IS PROHIBITED DURING OPERATION

Aluminum lamella bioclimatic pergolas are becoming more and more popular due to their versatility, durability and aesthetic appearance. They are ideal for creating comfortable outdoor recreation areas, protecting from the sun and rain. However, in order to maintain their functionality and appearance for a long time, it is necessary to observe certain rules of operation and maintenance. Below are recommendations for the care of aluminum lamellar bioclimatic pergolas and a list of actions that should be avoided.

Care recommendations:

1. Regular cleaning: Clean the pergola regularly, removing dust, dirt and organic deposits such as leaves or bird droppings that can cause corrosion or stains on the aluminum. Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild detergent.
2. Mechanism check: Regularly check the operability of all moving parts, such as slats, sliding mechanisms and latches. If necessary, apply for professional lubrication or adjustment.
3. Corrosion protection: Although aluminum is resistant to corrosion, regular treatment with special protective agents will help preserve its appearance and increase the service life of the structure.
4. Use of covers: In periods when the pergola is not in use, especially in winter, it is recommended to use special covers or covers to protect it from the effects of weather conditions.

What is forbidden when operating:

1. Use of aggressive cleaning agents: Avoid using abrasive materials and strong chemicals, as they can damage the aluminum surface.
2. Overloading the structure: Do not place objects on the pergola that exceed the recommended load. This can lead to deformation or breakage.
3. Ignoring signs of wear and tear: Do not postpone repairs at the first signs of wear and tear of mechanisms or damage to materials. Prompt elimination of small problems will help to avoid serious breakdowns.

Recommendations on how to extend the service life of a pergola with a sliding PVC roof

Terrace aluminum pergola with a sliding PVC roof — this is an excellent solution for a comfortable rest in the fresh air, protection from the sun and rain. In order for your pergola to last as long as possible, it is necessary to properly care for it and avoid common mistakes in operation. Here are some recommendations that will help keep it in perfect condition.

Regular cleaning

1. Cleaning the PVC roof: PVC material requires careful cleaning. Use a soft cloth or sponge and mild detergents to avoid damaging the surface. Do not use abrasives and hard brushes, as they can leave scratches.
2. Washing of aluminum elements: Aluminum should be regularly cleaned of dust and dirt. For this, warm water with the addition of a neutral detergent is suitable. After cleaning, be sure to rinse the structure with clean water.

Mechanism check

1. Lubrication of moving parts: In order for the roof extension mechanism to work smoothly, regularly check and, if necessary, lubricate it. Use silicone grease that does not attract dirt and dust.
2. Adjustment of fittings and fasteners: Over time, fasteners and fittings may weaken. Check them and tighten if necessary to avoid backlash and vibration that can lead to damage.

Protection from weather conditions

1. Use of protective covers: In winter or when the pergola is not used for a long time, it is recommended to use protective covers that will help prevent the accumulation of moisture, leaves and debris.
2. Shelter from extreme conditions: In case of strong wind, snowfall or hail, the roof should be retracted and, if possible, protect the pergola from direct exposure to these conditions.

What is forbidden when operating

1. Avoid overloading: Do not place heavy objects on the roof. PVC coating is not designed to support heavy weight, which can lead to its deformation or tearing.
2. Do not use sharp objects near the roof: Sharp objects can easily damage the PVC, causing tears or holes.
