it is necessary to comply with applicable Occupational Health and Safety regulations concerning in particular
those applying to the safety of operation of electrical equipment and work on heights,
product should be installed in a mechanical way (foams, adhesives or similar materials are not permitted as fixing
materials),

in case of metal structures connected with each other in accordance with the applicable rules for metal joining,
the assembly should be executed to the materials with a proper thickness of the walls,
prior to assembly move aside all unnecessary electrical cables from the installation site and check the route of
installation in the fixing locations to avoid their damages.
Informative table
The manufacturer allows the installation of the product in the following types of substrate (wall bearing layer):
- reinforced or unreinforced concrete, class at least C20/25, non-cracked,
- concrete specified above having a layer of insulation with a thickness of up to 25 cm,
- wall at least 24 cm, of Mz solid bricks, NF format, with a strength of at least 20 MPa and a density of >1.8 kg/dm3
based on M2.5 - M9 mortar,
- wall at least 24 cm, of silicate blocks with a strength of at least 10 MPa and a density of >2 kg/dm3 based on M2.5 -

The above list of substrates is only indicative. Each substrate suitability depends on the specific location and size of the
product, and must be selected by an authorized constructor.
4.2 REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFE INSTALLATION OF THE PRODUCT AT HEIGHTS
Product installation, due to a necessity of execution of works on heights, is classified to the particularly
hazardous works because it causes high risk of occurrence of threats for human health and safety - in
particular in case of fall from heights.
Obligation to ensure preparation of occupational health and safety plan during installation should be fulfilled by the
Purchaser.
The Purchaser should define the detailed health and safety requirements when performing work at heights, and especially
ensure:
direct supervision of execution by person appointed for this purpose (e.g. site manager, foreman),
proper protection equipment, in particular equipment protecting against fall from heights,
detailed guidance for employees working at heights.
Works performed at heights above 2m, requiring the use of personal protection equipment against falling from heights,
should be carried out by at least two persons.
Works at height should be organised and performed in a manner that does not force an employee to lean beyond the
handrail of railings or outline of the device on which he/she stands.
The purchaser is obliged to ensure access to location, where the works on heights are executed, only for authorized persons
and persons, who were properly instructed. OHS services personnel should inform the employees staying, or who could be

DT-E 5.8: ALUMINIUM CONSTRUCTION –PERGOLA SYSTEM SB400 (2020)
Edition 2 / June 2020 / EN strona 12 / 42
staying on the area where the works are conducted or in the area adjacent thereto, about performed works on heights and
necessary security measures, which should be applied during these works.
4.3 PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
unpack the product and check if there are all components necessary for assembling,
prior to installation you should check whether the substrate has sufficient load capacity allowing safe assembly
and operation.
Note: Purchase and selection of the screws, pins and bolts connecting the system with the facility structure
should be done by Purchaser.
4.4 GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR PRODUCT INSTALLATION
Four people are required for the safe installation of the support structure.
Incorrect assembly or errors during assembly may have serious consequences during product operation.
Pergola SB400 is an open, external covering for terrace. Equipment under the pergola should be intended for
outdoor use.
Prior to assembly you should check whether the space for assembly is free from obstructions.
Anchoring components intended for fixing the product to the wall or floor are not enclosed because they should
be individually selected by the fitter depending on the material to which they are to be installed.
Walls or floor should be load-bearing and adapted for transferring of forces from product anchoring.
SELT shall not be responsible for damages caused by use of too weak anchoring components or fixing in the floor
with too small load bearing.
In case of doubts please consult with the licensed designer.
The product should be protected against dirt (e.g. bricklaying mortar, caulking foam, silicone), which may cause
its damage.
It is necessary to use polyurethane foam, silicone or other agents, you should rigorously observe the
recommendations of the manufacturers available on the packing materials.
The incorrect assembly may cause hazardous situations for the user.

Note:
Prior anchoring you should check installation correctness of the support structure by checking the
diagonals between the posts and whole support structure and correct structure setting if necessary.
Assembled supporting structure should be permanently fixed to the substrate in destination location by
anchoring the feet, using anchors ensuring stable fixing. Anchoring should be selected by the licensed
designer every time. We recommend using screws/anchors of 12 mm diameter for fixing the footing to the
substrate.

4.6.1.1 INSTALLATION OF THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE
1. Place all beam elements on their correct sides and
posts in their correct corners.
2. Front beam (fig. 2) has a side-mounted sheet metal
gutter. Place it with the gutter facing the inside of the
pergola.
3. Rear beam (fig. 3) has a metal sealing blade (roof)
attached to the side. Place it with the roof towards
the inside of the pergola.
NOTE: Posts may have in the top ends below screwed
sockets horizontal undercuts - for inserting angular
corner overflows, or square cuts - to insert water
drains into posts (fig. 1). Please pay attention to the
correct positioning of the posts in the corners.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
4. Install all feet to the appropriate types of posts. Screw
on both sides with countersunk screws with M8x20
Allen sockets.
For G, H, I types of feet position the slots for water
outflow properly in the post and foot.
Figure 4

DT-E 5.8: ALUMINIUM CONSTRUCTION –PERGOLA SYSTEM SB400 (2020)
Edition 2 / June 2020 / EN strona 19 / 42
5. Assemble selected side beam (with holes for blades)
with two fitting posts by inserting the sockets of the
posts into the ends of the beam (large chamber). Fix it
at the top ends of the beam with countersunk screws
with M8x20 Allen socket (fig. 5).
6. Secure the assembled frame against falling down.
NOTE: Angular corner overflows or water drains may
be installed in the beam. They should be inserted into
the appropriate cuts/windows in the post during
integration.
The side beam has no slip rings on the end holes of
the blades. They must not be fastened before the
posts are installed due to the possibility of damage.
Fig. 5
7. Assemble the second side beam together with the
posts and screw them in the same way as in point 5.
Secure against falling down (fig. 6).
NOTE: In case of the beam with motor, secure the
motor against relocation during the time of

NOTE: In case of visible uneveness of the beam and
post edges (fig. 7a) it can be corrected by:
- checking if the diagonals of pergola are identical
and, if needed, correcting the position of the base of
the foot
- removing the beam from the socket/bone, loosening
M8 screws securing the socket/bone in the post and
using a hammer to move the protruding end of the
socket in the correct direction. Tighten the socket
again. Place the beam so that its plane is aligned with
the post.

Note:
A different order of installation is allowed. You can assemble and screw the front beam with posts and the
rear beam with posts in the form of two frames. Then, install and screw in the rear frame two side beams
and support their ends. Insert the front frame into this construction and screw it together.
After assembling the entire frame, check the compliance of the diagonals and parallelism as well as
the perpendicularity of the sides and vertical alignment of the posts.
NOTE: The assembled supporting structure should be placed in the right place and anchored to the
base with a suitable fastening product. Suggested anchors in size M12. The purchase and selection of
elements for anchoring the structure is the responsibility of the buyer of the system.
12. For modular version, on one of the sides of the beams
which are adjacent apply EPDM foam strips (added
loosely to the accessories) –fig. 9.
