What could be better than a relaxing spot in the sun? Only unfortunately, the creativity of our environment knows no bounds to ruin a dignified day outdoors. But what if you have an extensive repertoire of strategic countermeasures? The sun beams down all too mercilessly or it starts to drizzle? No problem, quickly close the sliding roof, thanks to the integrated drainage eyelets, rainwater cannot accumulate on the roof and lead to unwanted flash floods. This means the pergola is even better prepared for rain showers. Volcanic eruptions, tornadoes or earthquakes? No problem, as such phenomena are extremely rare in our latitudes. Nevertheless, we must point out as a precaution that a stretched roof in particular is not suitable for storms, heavy rain, hail, snow, tornadoes and volcanic eruptions. As a general rule, we recommend that the roof be taken down before major rain showers. We must also point out that the cover must be dismantled in the event of snow, as the roof struts are not designed for this load. The pergola is mounted with screws. These are made of steel and - as they are screws - cannot be powder coated. Therefore, they will rust over time under normal weather conditions. However, this rust is usually only visible when the roof is dismantled. If this bothers you, you can easily remove the rust with commercially available rust remover.
