5. Preperation for assembly
5.1 Conditions for assembly
Ground & wall
•A good flat stable surface is required for construction of the pergola.
•The location where the system is placed must be construction-ready and free of obstacles
(garden furniture, flower boxes, etc.) so installers can perform their work without hindrance.
•Any obstacles, including utility lines (such as power cables, etc.), roots and debris, must have
been removed from the ground.
•The wall must be free of sun shades, etc.
•The area where the wall profile will be placed must be firm, even and flat.
Attachments at walls
•Due to expansion of the materials, the pergola may not be placed tightly between two walls;
there must be a gap of 1.5 mm per metre of width of the pergola.
Rubber seals
•A Deponti pergola is standard equipped with pre-assembled rubber seals.
•If the rubber seals are deformed, they can be straightened with a little heat, from a hot air
heater or hair dryer for example.
Remove protective film
•It is recommended that the protective film be removed from the aluminium parts at the last
possible moment, to prevent damage. When mounting the different parts, however, the
edges of the protective film must be pulled back a few centimetres towards the middle of the
sheet so the film does not get stuck in the profiles; otherwise it will be difficult to remove
later.
Warranty expires if the Verdeca Pergola is not assembled and installed in accordance with
the instructions.

to use minimum M12.
3. Install the wall profile on the wall mounting brackets.
NOTE: Don’t work alone. You may need someone else while placing of the back profile.
H [cm] = front height [cm] + slope [cm]
Standard front height is 250 cm

4. Fasten and tighten the wall mounting bracket bolts
5. Gutter and front posts:
The gutter and front posts should be connected to each other on ground

6. Post fixing:
Define the exact post position and mark it. Install the anchorage to the ground surface using
correct hardware for your situation.
before you lift as you shown image at below. In this situation you may need some people
since you must hold to posts as carefully.
7. Slide the post on top of the stainless steel anchorage and screw tight.

8. Slide the rubber flap in and place gutter cover and fasten the screws.
9. Rafter placing: There are two types of rafters. One without gasket (only delivered if 3
posts are used –width exceed 4.5 m) and two with gasket (this is located on the bottom of
the rail). When you look from the front side, the gasket must be inside of the system as you
see at below picture.
NOTE: When fastening the rail bolts to the back beam and front beam you might need
someone else according to rail weight and length.
10. Check if the structure is level on all sides.

6.2 Installation motor unit and fabric

2. All carriers must be on the back of the rails.
3. Place a hexagonal shaft spindle into the transmission tube.

4. Place the hexagonal shaft spindle and transmission tube into the motor as you see on the
fifure below.
5. Insert a shaft transmitter plastic on to the transmission tube on the inside of the system.
6. Place a shaft spindle through the rail and insert the shaft transmitter plastic on the spindle

7. Fasten the bolts on the shaft transmitter plastic caps.
8. Install the fabric support profiles with the fabric preinstalled on to the rafters. The fabric
support profiles go rafter by rafter onto the carriers. They slide over the thread on the
bottom of the carriers in place with the nuts. While installing the fabric, you must fasten the
nuts simultaneously on the fabric support profiles.
NOTE: While installing the bolts, the gaskets are compressed to create a whole thigth seal.
Getting the nuts on could therefore be a challenge.
NOTE: We recommend using a lift or miltiple persons for installation as the fabric needs to
go up as a whole without damage.

6.3 Installation of cross rafter and ceiling sheets
1. Start with installing the cross rafters: In order to fix the cross rafters, you should define
the U bracket position. First you have to check the retractable length of the fabric is within
the length of the side cover profile, if correct you can install the U brackets according to that
sizing.
2. OPTIONAL: You can install the optional LED control box to the cross beam.
