The 3m x 3m Lite Pergola is a compact yet durable structure from the PergoSTET Lite steel pergola range. Its modern Grey finish complements contemporary outdoor areas, while manually tilting steel louvres provide control over sunlight, airflow, and shade. The integrated drainage system channels water from the louvres into the steel frame and down the legs, reducing water buildup during normal rainfall. Temporary overflow may occur during heavy rain, similar to a household gutter. Assembly generally requires 2–3 people and takes 2–3 hours. Installing on a level, solid surface and securing the feet with supplied bolts is essential for stability and long-term performance. Optional Side Curtains Side curtains are a practical addition to protect against wind, rain, and sun while enhancing privacy. The high-quality fabric slides easily along its track, zips closed, and secures to posts with Velcro straps. Tiebacks allow for an open layout when desired, blending functionality with a sleek, contemporary style. Strong Winds / Weather Conditions Assembly should be carried out in suitable weather. Avoid windy or adverse conditions to ensure safety and allow for a secure installation. Surface Levels PergoSTET pergolas require level surfaces for the drainage system to operate correctly. Standard 1:80 falls are suitable, while steeper gradients may affect performance and warranty coverage.
