Preperation for assembly
5.1 Conditions for assembly
Ground & wall
•
A good flat stable surface is required for construction of the pergola.
•
The location where the system is placed must be construction-ready and free of obstacles
(garden furniture, flower boxes, etc.) so installers can perform their work without hindrance.
•
Any obstacles, including utility lines (such as power cables, etc.), roots and debris, must have
been removed from the ground.
•
The wall must be free of sun shades, etc.
•
The area where the wall profile will be placed must be firm, even and flat.
Attachments at walls
•
Due to expansion of the materials, the pergola may not be placed tightly between two walls;
there must be a gap of 1.5 mm per metre of width of the pergola.
Rubber seals
•
A Deponti pergola is standard equipped with pre-assembled rubber seals.
•
If the rubber seals are deformed, they can be straightened with a little heat, from a hot air
heater or hair dryer for example.
Remove protective film
•
It is recommended that the protective film be removed from the aluminium parts at the last
possible moment, to prevent damage. When mounting the different parts, however, the
edges of the protective film must be pulled back a few centimetres towards the middle of the
sheet so the film does not get stuck in the profiles; otherwise it will be difficult to remove
later.
Warranty expires if the Verdeca Pergola is not assembled and installed in accordance with
the instructions.
