PergoTex
3.2
Use in winds
The PergoTex complies with the requirements of the wind resistance class shown on the EC
declaration of conformity printed in the instructions for assembly Instructions. The wind
resistance class achieved after assembly of the awning is heavily dependent on the type and
number of fixings used as well as the installation surface involved.
The PergoTex may only be used up to the wind resistance class specified by the company fitting
the awning. This may deviate from the wind resistance class stated by the manufacturer.
