 FAQ Covers for pergolas
You propose to attach my canvas pergola on 3 intermediates stiffener but there is 5 on my frame, what shall I do?
left arrow The goal of fixings on the stiffeners is to prevent the cover from swinging in the wind and allow it to fit the frame.
We propose 3 stiffeners because it’s enough for almost situations, up to you for their layout.
 
You say that you make a withdrawal to the size of my pergola, is the canvas will stretch then?
left arrow No, the canvas can’t be stretch.
 
Can we avoid having a withdrawal to reduce the light between the cover and the pergola?
left arrowNo, it is technically necessary! The Sandow should exert tension on the canvas to avoid folds, pockets of water and floating in the wind.
 
On the wall fixation, what is the difference between types 2 and 3?
left arrow The principle is the same, only the rail shape changes.
 
How to fix rails 2 and 3?
left arrowThey come in several parts (maximum length 3m), you will have to drill each rail each 0.3m then fix them to your wall and your frame.
 
I want to disassemble my cover easily, what type of wall fixing do you advice?
left arrowI advice types 2 and 3, this is the principle of a caravan awning.
 
I don’t know how to fix type 1.
left arrowThe principle is easy: the tube threaded into the toile sheath is rigid; it reduces the number of points of attachment to the wall.  Types 2 and 3 must be fixed every 0.3m while type 1 can be fixed with more space (2m maximum). You will need to make a slight cut on the toile and drill the tube where you want. The tube can be fixed on the front wall on or below the frame.
 
What is the function of the fixed pulley?
left arrow The canvas is fixed on the frame with sandows, here is two possibilities:
- make lacings (quite long to set up and remove)
- Fix the pulleys on the top of the profile, sandow will be attach on the top (quick to set up and to remove, tension more aesthetic)
