For best maintenance of your aluminum pergola, focus on regular cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap and water, inspecting for structural issues and tightening fasteners, and addressing any snow accumulation in winter.

1. Frequency:

• Clean your aluminum pergola regularly, especially if you live in a coastal area or an area with high pollution, as these can lead to salt and other corrosive substance buildup. 
• Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water to wipe down the pergola. 
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water. 
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the aluminum surface. 
• Clean the slats.

2. Structural Inspection and Maintenance:

• Regular Checks: Periodically inspect your pergola for any signs of damage, such as loose bolts, screws, or joints.
• Tighten Fasteners: If you find any loose fasteners, tighten them immediately.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply a high-quality lubricant to all moving parts, such as hinges and mechanisms, to ensure smooth operation.
• Ensure Stable Ground: Check the ground under and around the pergola to ensure it hasn't shifted or dropped, and address any changes promptly. 

3. Winter Care:

• Snow Removal: In winter, if there is snow, it is recommended to regularly clean the aluminum pergola from snow cover to avoid excessive stress on the structure.
• Louvered Pergolas: Keep the louvers (slats) open in the winter to protect the structure during severe weather. 

We advise a firm ground fixing is used for this pergola, ideally bolted to a concrete base. Please note paving slabs are not suitable for fixing as they can lift in windy weather. Pergolas should be built on level ground to ensure proper functioning of Drop Screen Side Blinds.

If you're fixing it to a wooden decking, we highly recommend fixing the pergolas to a depth of a 30cm concrete plinth for optimal stability and durability. This ensures a secure foundation, especially in areas prone to strong winds or inclement weather.
