PERGOLA ARTOSI
Measurement
Always take measurements of the outer profiles of the structure.
We enter the total width [W], the total length [L] (marked as
height in the order form) and passage height (H) for each
individual pole.
When taking the measurements, it is also necessary to specify
optional accessories such as lighting, rain sensor, etc. In the order
form. It is also suitable to specify construction readiness for the
subsequent installation of the whole pergola system (anchor
points, water outflow, motor placement, electricity connections, integration of the pergola to the
house, etc.). When the pergola is mounted properly, slats dropping is made in direction from the motor to
the other side. Water drainage has to be thus always on the opposite side of the motor. There always has to
be at least one drainage groove in a pergola.
Measurements will be described in detail for each variant of the pergola types.
The supply includes a dimensional sketch of the actual order with electricity connections and water outflow
points.
Manipulation space is necessary for the installation –see the cross-hatched area (red) in the figures below.

1. Introduction
Read this installation manual carefully prior to installing the pergola structure. This structure has been
designed solely as protection from sun, rain, and wind, and cannot be considered water-tight.
Incorrect use or incorrect installation may result in the termination of the guarantee.
Anchoring materials must be selected with respect to the structure in which the pergola is to be attached. It
is necessary to consider various circumstances: texture and external insulation, rigidity, and surface
appearance.
2. LIST OF NECESSARY AND RECOMMENDED TOOLS
• Two ladders adjustable according to the pergola height, telescopic lifting appliance, mobile scaffold;
• Water level, tape measure, tool for measuring the wall’s right angle, flatness, and verticality, plumb line;
• Socket-wrench set with 30 cm extension (socket 5.5 mm), spanners, Allen keys, hammer drill, drill set,
angle grinder + diamond-wheel for tiles;
• Flat-blade screwdriver, T15 Torx screwdriver, vacuum cleaner;
Suitable sealing compound (polymer/polyurethane caulk, silicone), compression tape, bolts with packing
rubber..
3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ground Mounting –Variant A
It is expected that for this variant, at least concrete feet have been prepared in advance, or a flat surface is
available to which the pergola is to be installed. The recommended minimum foot dimensions are
300 ×300 mm, frostproof depth.
A.1 First determine plane A1–A3 (C1–C3) and feet placement positions.
If water outflow is located under the pole, start with this plane! The diagonal for the placement of the
remaining poles will be aligned to this plane. We recommend using a laser device or other technology
for the alignment. After aligning, place the feet to the ground and mark out their anchoring holes. Use
a suitable anchoring system to fasten the feet (e.g. threaded rod, chemical anchor) –we recommend
stainless threaded rods. Do not tighten the nuts on the threaded rods. The recommended total height
of the threaded rods is 150 mm, thereof 30 mm above the anchoring plane.
If you want to have the anchoring prepared in advance, you can use a drill template for the feet
openings following the pergola placement measurements (see the last page of the manual, in full
scale). We recommend checking the template dimensions (110 mm), due to different print formats.
A.2 Insert the pole cover section and slide pole A1 to foot A1. Pay attention to placing the right pole to the
right place. If the motor supply cable passes through the pole, run it through a dedicated opening, see
the anchoring template. If the pole serves for water draining, insert the funnel and the plastic tube

(40 ×1.8 mm) for water draining (not part of delivery) into the pole and apply sealing compound to
the funnel, see Fig. D.1.
A.3 Adjust the height of the pole A1 according to the actual passage height (the pole height can be
adjusted in the range of + 2 cm) and tighten the four countersunk bolts M8. When fitting the pole to
the foot, the pole is at the –2 cm position of the set height.
A.4 Repeat steps A.2 and A.3 for the remaining poles.
A.5 Insert the perimeter section A1A3 in the pre-installed pole A1 and pole A3. Do not hold the perimeter
section by the eaves part only –hold it by the main supporting section. Otherwise eaves will likely be
damaged.
If the pergola is placed under a roof or truss, it is necessary to allow for at least 380 mm above the
pole inserted in the foot for inserting the perimeter section.
A.6 Secure the connection of the perimeter section A1A3 and pole A1 by pre-installed bolts (4 countersunk
bolts M8 for each pole).
A.7 Secure the connection of the perimeter section A1A3 and pole A3 by pre-installed bolts (4 countersunk
bolts M8 for each pole).
A.8 Repeat steps A.5 through A.7 for the perimeter section C1C3 and pole C1 and pole C3.
A.9 Prior to installing the perimeter section A1C1, insert reinforcement to both sides of the section. Then
connect the section A1A3 and perimeter section C1C3. Prior to installing, apply sealing compound to
the side cover of the drainage channel, see Fig. D.2. Insert the perimeter section A1C1 between the
pole A1 and pole C1 so that the pre-installed 6HR screws fit in the grooves. Tighten the pre-installed
6HR screws on both sides of the perimeter section A1C1.
A.10 Insert two cup-head bolts M10×20 to each corner of the frame and tighten.
A.11 Insert one hexagon-head bolt M10×340 to each corner and tighten. If the pergola is placed under a
roof or truss and the room above the pergola is not sufficient for inserting the bolts, do not use the
bolts. This does not affect the pergola function.
A.12 Repeat steps A.9 and A.10 for the perimeter section A3C3.
A.13 Check the dimensions of the diagonals, check the frame flatness and pole verticality, and adjust if
necessary.
A.14 If no problem is found, tighten the fastening nuts in the perimeter section, tighten the nuts in feet and
overlap the gap by the pole cover section. Attach the cover section to the pole (use bolts or silicone).
A.15 Insert the individual slats in the corresponding side sockets and secure with locks. The side sockets in
the perimeter section are adjusted to 45° slat tilting. The first slat and the last slat must be oriented
with respect to the limit sections attached to the perimeter sections A1C1 and A3C3.
A.16 Connect the motor and lighting, if any, and hide the cables inside the perimeter section and transverse
section.
A.17 If the pergola includes a LED lighting unit, connect it using connecting plugs.
A.18 Connect the LED lighting unit to the power supply unit using a cable with Hirschmann terminal.
A.19 Test the slat tilting function; the end-of-travel positions are factory-set. It is not possible to adjust the
limit section for opening, as this will likely lead to the slat mechanism collision.
A.20 Attach the side covers to the perimeter sections.
