Install your free-standing aluminium bioclimatic pergola

To install your free-standing aluminium bioclimatic pergola, choose a solid location and assemble it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Don't forget to maintain it regularly by cleaning it with soapy water and checking the fixings. This will allow you to take full advantage of this elegant and functional outdoor space.

The choice of location

To choose the right size for your structure, it is obviously essential to take into account the place where you want to set it up. However, keep in mind that this free-standing solution rests on 4 or 6 legs, and will need a minimum of space. To ensure easy movement under your pergola, it is advisable to have a minimum height of 2.20 metres, and not to exceed 3 metres in height. A minimum width of 1.20 m is recommended to avoid feeling cramped, while a depth of 3 metres is considered ideal. Don't hesitate to contact our experts for help in choosing the right size for your project!

Maintenance of the pergola

To ensure that your pergola remains functional and attractive over time, we recommend that you clean it thoroughly on a regular basis, at least twice a year:

  • Make sure to regularly remove any leaves that may block the rainwater drainage channels.
  • Use a soft cloth and soapy water to clean the slats and canvas, and rinse with clean water (without using too much solution).
  • Also inspect the pergola's fixings.
  • If your bioclimatic pergola is motorised, check frequently that the system is working properly.
