The sun shines down mercilessly or it starts to drizzle? No problem, thanks to the water-repellent surface of the sliding roof, the rain can't harm you. With the two infinitely adjustable fabric tracks, you are protected from the sun and prying eyes at any time of the day. The integrated drainage eyelets ensure that rainwater cannot accumulate on the roof and cause unwanted flooding. This makes the pergola even better prepared for rain showers. As a general rule, we recommend removing the roof before heavy rain showers. We must also point out that the cover must be dismantled in case of snow, as the roof beams are not designed to bear that load. The pergola is assembled with screws. These are made of steel and cannot be powder-coated. Therefore, they will rust over time under normal weather conditions. However, this rust usually only becomes visible when the roof is dismantled. If this is a concern, the rust can be easily removed with commercially available rust removers. Note: Please do not wash the cover. The fabric should only be wiped clean.
