Maintenance of bioclimatic pergolas: Tips to keep them in perfect condition
Pergola maintenance is essential to ensure their durability and to maintain an impeccable appearance. In this article, we offer you a practical guide to the care of bioclimatic pergolas, including specific recommendations for cleaning and maintaining their different components.
1. Cleaning the adjustable slats
Adjustable slats are a key part in the maintenance of bioclimatic pergolas:
- Cleaning Method: Use mild soap and water, making sure to rinse the entire surface with plenty of water to avoid residue.
- Ideal angle: Clean the slats at a 90º angle, paying special attention to the gutters where leaves or dirt can accumulate.
- Frequency: Clean the slats at least once a month, or more frequently if the environment generates more dirt.
2. Checking gutters and slats
Correct water drainage is crucial to prolong the life of your pergola:
- Remove any debris that may clog the drain, especially after heavy rains.
- Conduct checks to ensure gutters are clean and functioning properly.
3. Care of the opening and closing mechanisms
We suggest opening and closing the pergola at least once a month, as well as regularly lubricating the mechanical parts. This way, we avoid corrosion and damage to its operation.
4. Windows and screens
If your pergola includes glass or vertical screens, they also require specific care:
- Clean surfaces with water and neutral soap.
- Adjust the cleaning frequency according to the climatic conditions of the place where the pergola is installed.
5. Conservation of Lighting
Lighting, especially if it is LED, needs proper maintenance:
- Clean the lights with a slightly damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust or dirt.
- Check electrical connections periodically to ensure they are working properly.
