Is the canopy waterproof?
While the canopy provides shade and some protection from light rain, its waterproof rating will depend on the specific fabric. It is primarily designed for sun protection and should be retracted in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Canopy is difficult to retract or extend
Check for any obstructions or snags in the canopy fabric or retraction straps. Ensure the frame is level and stable. Lubricate the mechanism if specified in the manual.
Pergola feels unstable after installation
Verify that the correct stakes were used for the surface and that they are fully inserted. Ensure all frame connections are tightened securely. Consider additional anchoring methods if the surface is particularly soft or uneven.
Rust spots appearing on the steel frame
Use a rust remover specifically designed for metal. Clean the affected area and apply a rust-inhibiting sealant or touch-up paint to protect the frame.
Stakes are difficult to drive into the ground
Soften the soil with water before attempting to insert stakes. If installing on hard surfaces like concrete, ensure the correct type of anchors (e.g., expansion bolts, not included) are used and follow appropriate installation procedures.
