The location should be chosen carefully. It is recommended to avoid mounting your pergola
on a rainy day, facing the prevailing winds, and under an overhanging tree.
The pergola must be mounted on a flat-level foundation. It is recommended to install it on a
concrete slab or 25x25 cm concrete pads at each post Please, anchor the pergola properly to
the ground using TO parts.
If you would like to mount your pergola near your house or a building, please check the
presence of gutters for water drainage.
We cannot guarantee that Ombréa®pergola can ensure perfect sealing if rainwater from your
gutter lines spills on it.
Should these instructions not be followed or only partially, the warranty will be voided by the
seller.
3. MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure its longevity and aesthetic appearance. We
recommend to :
• Clean your pergola once or twice a year with fresh water using a sponge or cloth.
• Do not use detergent or an abrasive material.
• Check the tightness of the screws regularly (at least once a year).
• Oil fastening regularly (at least once a year).
• Make sure that nothing hinders the water flow in the gutters (leaves, branches...).
• Remove any water that might stagnate around the legs of the pergola (lift the posts
skirts).
