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 a comprehensive repertoire of strategic countermeasures at your disposal? The sun is beating down mercilessly, or it starts to drizzle? No problem, just quickly close the sliding roof. Thanks to the integrated drainage eyelets, rainwater cannot accumulate on the roof and cause unwanted flash floods. This way, 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. However, we must caution that an extended roof is not suitable for storms, heavy rain, hail, snow, tornadoes, and volcanic eruptions. As a general rule, we recommend dismantling the roof before significant rain showers. We also need to point out that the cover must be removed 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.
