Questions and answers

3 votes

q: I have a deck near a bedroom. If it is windy are there an rattles from the louvres?

a: We haven't had any feedback to this effect, the louvres are seated in bushings to dampen vibration, so as long as they are assembled correctly it won't be an issue.

q: When closed, how waterproof are the louvres? For example, on a warm, calm, rainy day, could you sit outside under the louvres and not get dripped on?

a: Yes definitely these will keep the water out, they also have an internal guttering system for runoff.

By Trade Tested on February 13, 2020

q: Can your louvre system be integrated into a concrete tile roof on an approximate 30 degree roof pitch - with louvres running on the roof pitch angle (not horizontal) ?

q: 1) To what angle do the Louvres open? Do they open up to 90 degrees from horizontal or more. 2) can the Louvres be installed in either direction, that is if say the roof system is installed in an east/west orientation, can the Louvres be installed so they open to the east to let in the morning sun?

q: Can these be wall mounted one side with slight modifications?

a: Yes they could be, however it depends how you define slight! You would need to cut the posts at one end - as these also act as the frame corner, plug the drainage holes and work out a mounting method for your application.

We got a quote to have one made to order in NZ and they wanted $24,000 so this is pretty cheap and not too hard to put up with just two people. Instructions aren't too clear but once figured out the fins are easy to fit. The plastic grommet that locks each fin into the frame is a little flimsy, a rivet behind it would add strength. Would say it is shower proof but doesn't cope with heavy rain. Overall pleased with it.

Such a great price and looks amazing. Took about 6 hours to put together, putting the louvres in takes a while but much faster with a helper. Took about an hour to work out how to fix the first static louvre, as people have mentions the instructions are great apart from this stage but one you work that out it’s simple enough.

The superstructure goes together with relative ease. It’s easy with just two people to assemble using a couple of ladders at the very least and a battery drill with socket attachment (not provided – not even an Allen key) to wind in the machine screws quickly. Using a picnic type table makes it easier with preassembly and substitutes plank and ladders when fitting the louvre foils. The pivoting brackets that the louvre foils attach to should be checked that they are screwed in properly without tightening it fully. We found some of these unwound a lot and one had fallen out in transit which took some finding the screw and washers. I’ll try and add some pictures to make the foil fitting a bit clearer as we struggled with this and the instructions are not very clear. However, once understood fitting the louvres is easy for one person to do. If you are in a windy area I reckon you could drill and fit either a 1/8th or 5/32nd rivet behind each plastic grommet in the foil to make it more secure. The grommet fixing is about the only thing that lets the ensemble disappointing. The assembly is well engineered and it’s an area that could benefit from a little more thought. Getting the fins right can be challenging. Fitting them with the unit cranked open so they are vertical work best. Use long nose pliers to remove the grommets that buckle if you have to but don’t dispose of them as there are no spares – try to reuse where they go in more easily. When fitting the angle braces on the side of the posts, using a quick grip clamp and predrilling the holes with a 3mm bit makes installing the tex screws with a battery driver and bit much easier. Note: there are no spare tex screws either, we were one short and had to improvise :( We swapped out the coach screws for fitting the structure for masonry 8m x 65mm anchor bolts. An 8mm masonry bit was used to drill the concrete. The gearing is really pleasing, quick to open or close with little effort.

Very easy system to assemble and erect, was done done with just the family in sections. Love the separate louvres which works really well for shading the sun depending on where you are sitting. The gutters work really well for removing the water under the deck. Thanks Trade Tested for a good system. Just need to install some form of wind breaks for the southerly.

Yay I finally have it up. Firstly it should be noted that it is 3.9 metre square and not 4 as suggested in the main advertising. Easy to put up and looks good. There was only one exception and that relates to the louvres. They were awkward and difficult to correctly align. And then there was the need to put in the plastic grommets which wasn't the easiest thing to do. There are some rust spots appearing on some stainless steel screws which I wil be watching.

Purchased 2 of these just before the lockdown, have attached them under the eves, & removed those posts almost all the way up, used the provided sealant to fill the drainage holes, also had to shorten the posts by about 40-50mm off the bottom, bolted the two together, but there is a small gap between them that I'll have to make a flashing for. Quite Pleased with the way it turned out.
