FAQ

I have limited space to fix my wall-attached bioclimatic pergola, what is the total height of the wall-attached parts, what is the clearance height under the pergola, and the height with the slats open?

The total height of the wall-attached parts is 23.57 cm (9.28 inches), including parts A2 and A3 (which are positioned at the ends of the pergola). Without these parts, the total height is 17.6 cm (6.93 inches). The clearance height under the pergola is 239 cm (94.09 inches), and the total exterior height of the pergola with the slats open is 261 cm (102.76 inches).

Can I cut the legs of my pergola to shorten it?

You can trim the legs but make sure to cut precisely from each side. The threading that accommodates the screws to fix the plates is found along the entire height of the leg. You will be able to fix the plate under the leg, only if you cut the leg straight across (do not cut the leg diagonally). You will need to recreate the water drainage holes on the leg. However, if you cut the legs, consider that the accessories will no longer be compatible. The warranty will also be voided.

Is the hardware for fixing the pergola to the ground provided?

In your package, you will find four anchors per post, suitable for installation on a concrete floor. These anchors have the following dimensions: M8*80, meaning they are 8 cm (about 3.15 inches) in length and 8 mm (about 0.31 inches) in diameter. For drilling the holes, you will need an 8 mm (0.31 inches) diameter concrete drill bit. Then, to tighten the anchors, you will need a wrench with a 13 mm (about 0.51 inches) opening.

Do I need to take any steps with the municipality to install a bioclimatic pergola?

This depends on your place of residence. We advise you to inquire with your city to know the local regulations. Generally, for a wall-mounted bioclimatic pergola with a ground surface between 5 m² and 20 m² (54 to 215 sq ft), a prior declaration of works is necessary. For an area greater than 20 m² (215 sq ft), a construction permit application may be required. For freestanding pergolas between 5 m² and 20 m² (54 to 215 sq ft), a work authorization may be required. For more information, you can consult the website of your municipality or the local government agency responsible for urban planning.
