Installation

Installation site

WARNING
Consult a specialist, if there is any doubt on the
load carrying capacity of the installation site.
Prior to the installation, check if the wall the instal-
lation site has sufficient load carrying capacity. Spe-
cial care needs to be taken if the installation shall
be carried out at an insulated wall, as the increasing
demands on thermal insulation reduce the tensile
forces of anchor bolts and other fastenings. Make sure
the installation site is straight and allows the correct
positioning of the pergola awning in terms of height of
the beams. Additionally, ensure the ground is sound
enough to support the load of the pergola awning
with added load of water or snow stored on top of
the retractable screen for safety measures. The non-
retractable parts of the awning are designed in a way,
that loads of max. 800 Pa (800 N/m
deformation (if the screen is fully retracted).

Wind resistance classes

This retractable screen is designed to withstand Beau-
fort force 5 wind speeds, which equals wind resist-
ance class 2. The combination of wall type and mount-
ing material used at your installation site might result
in a lower wind resistance class for your retractable
screen.

In case not every qualification can be covered by
the installer, seek for a professional installation
specialist to perform the installation.
An installation specialist will be able to provide infor-
mation about the wind resistance class the pergola
awning can withstand after the installation. The table
below can be used to identify different wind speeds by
observing tree movement:
WIND SPEED IMPLICATION
up to 19 km/h Leaves and small twigs constantly moving
20 - 27 km/h Small branches begin to move,
loose paper is raised from the ground
28 - 37 km/h Branches of moderate size move, small trees in leaf
begin to swat
38 - 48 km/h Large branches in motion, umbrella use becomes dif-
ficult
