Product description

The Pinela roof is a bioclimatic pergola system which is a rotatable panel system. The Pinela panels can rotate 120⁰ degree. Also it protects from sun, rain and limited snow loads. The panels are connected to a linear actuator and are operated with the remote control by the motor.
The Pinela is available in the following dimensions;

• Width (mm): 3000 / 3500
• Projection (mm): 3011 / 3539 / 4067 / 4947 only by 3500 mm width!

NOTE: All pillars have a length/height of 350cm and don’t have a foot/base plate.
When assembled as a freestanding pergola with additional mounting bracket, the maximum gutter height is 250cm. The extra length of the pillar is to prevent collapsing.
Optional additions:

• Perimeter lighting system
• Mounting bracket for pillars

Wind resistance:

• The values given are according to the Beaufort scale ( 7 Beaufort = 13.9 – 17.1 m/s ≤ 0.18 kN/m2).
• Calculated for the Pinela with a front height of 250 cm according to Eurocode EN 1991-1-4 Terrain Category 4.

Preparation for assembly

5.1 Conditions for assembly
Ground & façade

• A good flat stable surface is required for construction of the pergola.
• The location where the system is placed must be construction-ready and free of obstacles (garden furniture. flower boxes. etc.) so installers can perform their work without hindrance.
• Any obstacles. including utility lines (such as power cables. etc.). roots and debris. must have been removed from the ground.
• The façade must be free of sun shades. etc.
• The area where the wall profile will be placed must be firm. even and flat.

Attachments at walls

• Due to expansion of the materials. the pergola may not be placed tightly between two walls; there must be a gap of 1.5 mm per metre of width of the pergola.

Rubber seals

• A Deponti pergola is standard equipped with pre-assembled rubber seals.
• If the rubber seals are deformed. they can be straightened with a little heat. from a hot air heater or hair dryer for example.

Warranty is void if the Pinela pergola is not assembled and installed in accordance with the instructions.

5.2 Inspection of tools and accessories

Assembly

6.1 Mounting the wall profile (in case of wall installation)
Determine which post will be used as the rainwater discharge post. An rainwater discharge hole has to be drilled in this post.

1. Define the mounting bracket position on the wall. Decide which way the panels will open, they only open one way.
2. Fasten the brackets to the wall with the correct hardware for your situation. We suggest a minimum size of M12.
3. Place the integrated gutter on the wall mounting bracket
4. Fasten the wall mounting bracket cover on top and tighten it with a M8x25mm bolt.
5. Fix the (M4) self-drilling screw in the integrated gutter and wall mounting bracket.

6.2 Pillar and integrated gutter connection

1. Determine which post will be used as the rainwater discharge post. An rainwater discharge hole has to be drilled in this post. Place this upright on a flat, solid surface and determine the location for the hole. Now drill a hole in the post. Although the diameter of the hole is flexible, we recommend a diameter of 60mm.

2. Fix the aluminium pillar on both sides of the rear integrated gutter (the one with the black controlbox inside) with a M8 and M6 sealed nut . (check below image) NOTE:
   • Lift up the rear frame.
   • Don’t work alone. You may need an extra hand.
   • Rear frame should be lifted up and fixed to the ground.

3. Connect the rear integrated gutter and lateral integrated gutter (with the spindle motor inside) into the position as shown in below image.

4. The linear actuator should be placed on the back side of the lateral integrated gutter which (check below image)

5. Fix the lateral side integrated gutter to the rear integrated gutter with M8 and M6 Sealed Nuts.

6. Check if the structure is level on all sides. 5mm difference in the full length (for water) is allowed

6.3 Panel installation

1. When you start placing the panels. always start with the first front panel. This first panel has a gasket (big rubber flap) for perfect insulation and has a clamp. The first panel should connect to the clamp. The clamp is already installed to the lateral side integrated gutter.
2. Place the middle panels into the integrated lateral side gutter which is shown in the figure below.
3. To secure the panels in place install the 1.5×1.5mm sheet (strip profile).
4. The pins of the last 3 panel are shorter than the pins of the middle panels. This is to prevent the pins from hitting the linear actuator.
5. The control box should be placed in the rear integrated gutter.
6. The aluminium profile (20x40mm) must be connect to the panels. This profile allows movement of the actuator to the panels.
7. The housing of the panel pin should be from outside in as in image below.
8. In order to secure the 40x20mm aluminium profile. install the snap ring. The snap ring has to be placed on the groove of the panel pin. Place and fasten the clamp for the last 3 panels.
9. Secure the actuator to the 40x20mm aluminium profile with the snap ring.

6.4 Perimeter lightning installation

1. Place the perimeter lighting profile on the inside of the integrated gutter. (optional)
2. The perimeter lighting profile should be installed 6mm down from the top of the integrated gutter.
3. Place the perimeter lighting profile cap to the housing on the perimeter lighting profile.
4. Place the corner piece between the perimeter lighting profile in the corners.

LED innstallation scheme
For the Pinela and Pinela Deluxe with the LED strips option.

Tip: The wires to the LED lighting are soldered and therefore more fragile on the solder point, do not pull or bend intensively at the installation.
Tip: The most common wire strip length is 11mm, this may vary slightly depending on the welding cap used.
