CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1/ Your product
Properties
Part of the frame is made up of aluminium parts (for its lightness) and epoxy painted steel parts (for
its sturdiness).
Aluminium is a light, resistant material that doesn't rust.
Epoxy steel is a steel covered with a protective paint against rust.
The roof is made of polycarbonate. It is a clear plastic that lets you soak up the sun while protecting
yourself from UV rays. However, it does not protect you from the heat.
The curtains are made of polyester, a synthetic fabric which offers good resistance to tearing and
friction.
Manufacturing and assembly
The manufacturing then assembly of this product requires leaving clearance between the different
parts.
It is therefore normal to observe gaps/slack that may reach several millimetres between the different
assembled elements (between two slats, between boards...).
This tolerance necessary for the correct realisation of your product can be behind little geometric
differences.
This does not lead to any loss of function of your product.
Irregular appearance
Each product is manufactured and assembled industrially from parts whose surface treatment is
carried out individually, before assembly. These metallic elements cannot be free from appearance
irregularities coming both from the surface treatment process and assembly operations. The final
appearance of the product is therefore directly linked to these possible irregularities.
Regularity of seams
Although we pay special attention to the quality and regularity of seams, it is possible to notice that
some threads are not cut after the break point of the seam. There is no risk of the seam becoming
undone. Cut this thread with a simple pair of scissors.
2/ Precautions for use
We cannot guarantee the good behavior of this product under difficult atmospheric conditions.
In these conditions, it is recommended not to be under or near the structure.
After each significant bad weather we invite you to check the general condition and the solidity of the
structure before use.
The accumulation of water, dead leaves or objects on the roof contributes to its degradation and to
that of the structure: be sure to clean it regularly.
We do not recommend mounting a luminaire or other heat source on the structure.
Watch out for blows from knives and other sharp objects handled nearby. Watch out too for burns
from cigarettes and from other heat sources.
3/ Maintenance and ageing, siding
It is normal to note natural wear and tear of the product over time and with use, in the form of an
alteration of the colours and the state of the surface, the mechanical functions and tightening of the
screwed elements.
