Questions and answers

7 votes
q: Is your louvre roof system completely water proof once the louvers are closed? How does it perform in high winds?
a: Yes it is, it's not designed for high-wind zones, it's been rated to 75km/h.
By Trade Tested on February 13, 2020
5 votes
q: Can the size be altered to 3x6metres?
a: No this is the longest beam size we have, you could put 2 x 3m units next to each other?
By Trade Tested on February 13, 2020
4 votes
q: Is installation a matter of concreting in posts?
a: You could, however these come with pre-drilled foot plates you bolt through.
By Trade Tested on February 13, 2020
2 votes
q: can you fit the outdoor cover blinds to this? and is it possible to fix a side of this patio to your house?
a: They're not designed specifically to go together, but yes you could attach. It's not designed to be wall mounted, so there would be modification involved - have a look at the assembly manual linked in the Product Description for a better idea of the components.

q: im looking to install one of these on a concrete patio ive made, how thick a concrete pad would it need to be to be able to bolt on the pergola? its a minimum 50mm thick.
a: 50mm should be ok, obviously the thicker the better but there are 4 fixing holes in each leg. Masonry anchors are essential. For it to operate correctly it has to be level.

q: Are the louvres aluminium? When shut is there a guttering system to move water sitting on top of the louvres down one of the support posts or does it just run through between the louvres to your furniture below?
a: Yes they are, there is an internal guttering system that exits at the foot of the posts - you can see this detail in the pictures.
By Trade Tested on February 13, 2020
2 votes
q: What happens to rain on closed louvres? How waterproof are they when closed
a: The rain drains off into the internal guttering system (there is a slight fall from the centre to the outside beams).

q: We already have a pergola. Could we just attach the shutters to the top of the pergola so that it fits within the current framing?
a: No, this is a much heavier unit so that would not work.

q: Can you join 2 together and would the join be waterproof or do you have a gusset gutering system
a: They are not designed to be joined, so you would need to figure out a suitable way to achieve this.

q: Can the system be assembled so as to allow water from the post outlets be from any side of the post, or is water outlet from the post pre-determined?

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.

Easy to install couple of tips The end with the winder on it should face south if you want the blades to open to the northern sun and suggest you leave the screws at the top of the posts loose until the 2 horizontal roof beams are installed

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.

We are very happy with our purchase and the quality is superb. Unbelievably easy to assemble, I had this up in a day with a little help from my good wife. I had been in the Aluminium window and door manufacturing business for over 35 years so I am very good impressed. As you can see it fits in with our house and deck perfectly. So a big thank you.

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.
