Bioclimatic pergolas are structures designed to withstand weather conditions, but they require proper maintenance to ensure optimal performance and extend their lifespan, especially in coastal environments like Ibiza and Formentera.
Regular cleaning
It’s advisable to clean the pergola at least twice a year, preferably at the beginning of spring and autumn. Use warm water and neutral soap to remove dirt and salt residues that may accumulate on the structure and slats. Avoid using abrasive products or high-pressure cleaners that could damage the finish.
Inspection of gutters and drains
Drainage systems should be inspected regularly to ensure that they are not clogged by leaves or other debris. A blockage can cause water accumulation and damage the structure.
Lubrication of mechanisms
Movable components, such as adjustable slats, should be lubricated periodically to ensure smooth operation and avoid noise or resistance when opening and closing. Always use manufacturer-recommended lubricants to protect mechanical parts and preserve functionality.
Inspection of electrical components
If your bioclimatic pergola includes LED lighting systems, motorized controls, or smart automation, it’s essential to check that all electrical parts are functioning correctly. Look for exposed or damaged cables, test remotes and sensors, and confirm all safety features are active.
