The pergola awning PM21 consists of a cassette (Fig. 1/2) in which
the rolled-up awning fabric (Fig. 1/3) is located. Lateral guidance of
the drop bar (Fig. 1/8) is provided by the two guide rails (Fig. 1/4).
The mounting brackets (Fig. 1/1) are fitted onto vertical surfaces
during installation. The cassette (Fig. 1/2) is affixed to the mounting
brackets (Fig. 1/1). The posts (Fig. 1/6) provide support at the
front.
If required, the valance (Fig. 1/5) can be lowered for additional
shading.
The awning is driven by a motor that can be operated using push-
buttons, a remote control or an automatic controller.
Optional ambient lighting for the awning is available in the form of
LED strips that are installed permanently in the cassette and/or the
guide rails; these can be dimmed. The ambient lighting is operated
using a radio remote control.

The posts can be embedded in concrete in a foundation or they
can be bolted onto a horizontal surface with the help of base
plates.
Erhardt recommends embedding the posts of the
PM21 in concrete. To do so, a corresponding foun-
dation must be created on site, according to the
dimensions of the PM21. The size, depth and rein-
forcement (Fig. 5) are recommendations from
Erhardt. The installing company bears full respon-
sibility for the on-site design.
Attachment elements!
The attachment elements are not included in the
scope of delivery.
The attachment elements have to be chosen on
site, depending on the foundation.
The base plate for the posts is anchored by four anchor bolts
(Fig. 6/1) to the compression-proof individual foundations (Fig. 6/2)
or, alternatively, it is anchored on a reinforced concrete slab.
The guide rail (Fig. 7/1) is bolted onto the post (Fig. 7/2) with the
help of the swivel mount (Fig. 7/3).

2. Determine the distance between the post axes (Fig. 17/X)
and mark it.
The posts can be installed in three different ways:
n
Ä “Post with foundation” on page 19

Ä “Posts with base plate” on page 20
n
Ä “Post with steel base for purlin mounting (optional)”
on page 20
Erhardt recommends embedding the posts of the
awning in concrete. To do so, a corresponding
foundation must be created on site, according to
the dimensions of the awning. The size, depth and
reinforcement (Fig. 18) are recommendations from
Erhardt. The installing company bears full respon-
sibility for the on-site design.
If posts are mounted in a foundation, a water
drainage hole (diameter = 10 mm) must be created
just above ground level.
1. Insert the posts into the foundation.
2. Make sure that the posts are vertical and centred.
3. Secure the posts against falling and shifting.
4. Pour in the foundation.
