Does a pergola protect from rain?
When we install an aluminum pergola on the garden or balcony, what we can see from the outside is the boxy shape of the pergola, and with different shutters and other styles of products, the whole pergola is unique.
But some people do not pay attention to the appearance of the pergola, but only focus on its practicality, such as shading and rain protection;
In this article, let us explain the rainproof function of the aluminum pergola;
Different from the other materials, the most attractive feature of the structure of the rain proof pergola is the reversible louvers of the top; Louvered pergola is a main shading structure for the new outdoor living space, the blades are operable and this enable the pergola to always provide the best environment, multipurpose usage scenarios, diversified design styles and impeccable control system ensure pergola to integrate as a single item into leisure living spaces, the louvered pergola usually has two operation mode such as electric and manual control systems;
So how does the outdoor pergola waterproof realize the rainproof function?
First of all, the louver can be completely closed manually or electrically to keep rainwater out; the rainwater will flow along the groove of the louver to the groove of the beam next to it, and the rainwater will flow to the column along the groove of the beam, and there is a hidden interior space inside the column, let the rainwater pass through and then discharge to the ground; the above is the simple principle of the pergola to achieve the rainproof function.
In addition, technology can also be used to achieve intelligent rain protection. It is the rain meter or hygrometer used by many waterproof louvered pergola now; when it starts to rain, the raindrops gather on the spoon of the rain meter, and this slight weight will trigger the intelligent system of the pergola to automatically close the shutters to achieve waterproof function , this function is used in scenario that no one is using the pergola, so it is said to protect the furniture under the waterproof pergola from rain damage;
Furthermore, it is not ruled out that some heavy rain falls at a low angle, because the rain is so heavy that it spills from the side, then the advanced waterproof function is useless; therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, people usually use transparent glass rolling windows or shutters as waterproof items to resist the rain on the side.
