Installation

Installation site

WARNING
Consult a specialist, if there is any doubt on the
load carrying capacity of the installation site.
Prior to the installation, check if the wall on the in-
stallation site has sufficient load carrying capacity.
Special care needs to be taken if the installation shall
be carried out at an insulated wall, as the increasing
demands on thermal insulation reduce the tensile
forces of anchor bolts and other fastenings. Make sure
the installation site is straight and allows the correct
positioning of the pergola awning in terms of height
of the beams. Additionally, ensure that the ground is
sound enough to support the load of the pergola awn-
ing with added load of water or snow stored on top of
it for safety measures. The awning is designed in such
a way, that loads of max. 840 N for item 10476778 and
1120 N for item 10476780 do not lead to deformation
of non-retractable parts.
Rain falling onto the awning will flow through the
columns to the ground. Guide it to where it may drain
away if necessary.

Wind resistance classes

This pergola awning is designed to withstand Beaufort
force 5 wind speeds, which equals wind resistance
class 2. The combination of wall type and mounting
material used at your installation site might result
in a lower wind resistance class for your retractable
screen.

To prevent risks during installation, the installer
must have sufficient knowledge in the following
qualifications:
•
Occupational safety and health (OSH), opera-
tional safety and accident prevention regulations
given by the Employer's Liability Insurance As-
sociation
•
Handling and transport of long and heavy compo-
nents
•
Handling of ladders and scaffolding
•
Evaluation of basic structures of a building
•
Handling of tools and machines

Handling and installation of fastening equipment
•
Commissioning and operation of products
In case not every qualification can be covered by
the installer, seek for a professional installation
specialist to perform the installation.
An installation specialist will be able to provide infor-
mation about the wind resistance class the pergola
awning can withstand after the installation. The table
below can be used to identify different wind speeds by
observing tree movement:
WIND SPEED IMPLICATION
up to 19 km/h Leaves and small twigs constantly moving
20 - 27 km/h Small branches begin to move,
loose paper is raised from the ground
28 - 37 km/h Branches of moderate size move, small trees in leaf
begin to swat
38 - 48 km/h Large branches in motion, umbrella use becomes dif-
ficult
