Troubleshooting
Warping or minor cracking of wood
This is a natural characteristic of wood and typically does not affect structural integrity. Ensure the area is well-drained. Avoid prolonged contact with standing water.
Surface mold or mildew appearing
Clean gently with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush. Ensure the area has good air circulation. This is often superficial and does not indicate rot.
Fixings appear loose after time
Periodically check and re-tighten all screws and bolts to ensure the structural integrity of the pergola.
