What could be better than a relaxing spot in the sun? Unfortunately, the creativity of our environment knows no bounds when it comes to ruining a pleasant day outdoors. But what if you have an extensive repertoire of strategic countermeasures? The sun is beating down mercilessly or it starts to drizzle? No problem, thanks to the water-repellent surface of the sliding roof, rain cannot harm you. With the two infinitely adjustable fabric tracks, you are protected from the sun and prying eyes at any time of day. Volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, or earthquakes? No problem, as such phenomena occur only very rarely in our regions. However, we must caution that an extended roof is not suitable for storms, heavy rain, hail, snow, tornadoes, and volcanic eruptions. Thanks to the integrated drainage grommets, rainwater cannot accumulate on the roof and lead to unwanted flash floods. Thus, the pergola is even better prepared for rain showers. As a general rule, we recommend dismantling the roof before larger rain showers. We must also point out that in the case of snow, the cover must be removed, as the roof beams are not designed for this load. The pergola is mounted 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. The side from which the fabric panels can be pulled down is 3 meters long. Note: Please do not wash the cover. The fabric should only be wiped clean.
