The sun shines down mercilessly, or is it starting to drizzle? No problem, thanks to the water-repellent surface of the sliding roof, the rain won't bother you. With the two infinitely adjustable fabric tracks, you are protected from the sun and prying eyes at any time of day. The integrated drainage grommets prevent rainwater from accumulating on the roof and causing unwanted flooding. This makes the pergola even better prepared for rain showers. In general, we recommend removing the roof before heavy rain showers. We also need to 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 made of steel, which 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. After handover to the carrier, the delivery time can take up to a week.
