🧭 Determine Orientation
Louvers should run east-west to control sun exposure throughout the day.
Position the motorized beam on the least visible side for aesthetics and service access.
📐 Layout Marking
Use your model’s Outer-to-Outer Post measurements.
Mark four corners using chalk or laser.
Measure both diagonals; they must be equal.
Plan a minimum 150 mm (6″) wall gap for drainage clearance.
🌤️ Shade Coverage Estimates
Model | Dimensions (m/ft) | Usable Shade Area |
10×10 | 3×3 m / 10×10 ft | ≈ 100 ft² (9 m²) |
10×13 | 3×4 m / 10×13 ft | ≈ 130 ft² (12 m²) |
13×13 | 4×4 m / 13×13 ft | ≈ 170 ft² (16 m²) |
13×19 | 4×6 m / 13×19 ft | ≈ 250 ft² (23 m²) |
💡 Tip: To extend coverage, align pergola with existing shade lines or add optional retractable screens.
🧩 Space Integration
Maintain 900 mm (36″) walkway clearance around perimeter.
For wall-mount versions, check gutter alignment with house downspouts.
Verify accessory clearance (heater/light) before ordering.
