This document serves as an owner's manual for the Gardiun Denver Wooden Pergola, model KIS3030, with an area of 8.76 m². It provides essential information for assembly, usage, and maintenance.
Function Description
The Gardiun Denver Wooden Pergola is designed as an outdoor structure to provide shade and enhance garden aesthetics. It is a wooden pergola, as indicated by the various language translations on the cover (Pérgola Madera FSC, Wooden Pergola, Pergola en bois, Pergolato in legno, Pergula de madeira). The structure is intended for outdoor use, creating a defined space within a garden or patio area. Its primary function is to offer a shaded area for relaxation or social gatherings, and it is explicitly stated that "The shed is not made for living but storing stuff" (EN) or "El presente cuarto de almacenamiento está destinado solamente a almacenar objetos, y se prohíben la residencia u otros efectos" (ES), implying it is a storage shed or an outdoor structure not meant for permanent habitation. The assembly instructions emphasize anchoring the pergola to prevent wind damage, highlighting its outdoor nature and the need for stability against environmental factors.
Important Technical Specifications
The model number for this pergola is KIS3030, and its EAN (European Article Number) is 8445401009214.
The overall dimensions of the assembled pergola are provided in a diagram on page 2:
- Width: 297 cm
- Depth: 297 cm
- Height: 300 cm (total height)
- Eave height (clearance under the roof structure): 210 cm
The installation area requirement is a square of 297 cm x 297 cm.
The manual includes a comprehensive list of parts and accessories, detailing each component by its part number (e.g., Lc-1, Lc-A41), an image, its dimensions in millimeters, and the quantity required. This list is extensive, covering various wooden beams, connectors, screws, and other fasteners. For example:
- Lc-1: 1470 mm, x4
- Lc-2: 1095 mm, x4
- Lc-A3: 872 mm, x4
- Lc-40: 2110 mm, x4
- Lc-A41: 1356 mm, x4
- Lc-A44: 362 mm, x8
- Lc-48: 180 mm, x16
Fasteners are also meticulously listed with their types and quantities:
- Lc-A58: M6, x24
- Lc-A60: M10x60, x16
- Lc-A61: M8x40, x8
- Lc-A64: M5x35, x56
- Lc-A66: ST4x10, x364 (a very high quantity, indicating many small fixings)
- Lc-A71: M4, x344 (another high quantity of small fixings)
The structure appears to be made of wood, as implied by "Pérgola Madera FSC" and "Wooden Pergola." The FSC certification suggests that the wood used comes from responsibly managed forests. The assembly diagrams show a multi-tiered roof design, which adds to its aesthetic appeal and potentially improves water runoff. The base of the pergola is designed to be anchored, as indicated by the diagram on page 8 showing posts bolted to a concrete slab, and the instruction to "construct a square and level building" and anchor it "to prevent wind damage."
Usage Features
The manual emphasizes a structured approach to installation:
- Pre-installation checks: Users are advised to check local building codes, footing requirements, and location regulations before starting. Reviewing the manual thoroughly is recommended for an easier and more enjoyable assembly.
- Location selection: Installation is recommended on a level area with good drainage. Anchoring the wooden pergola is crucial to prevent accidents due to wind.
- Teamwork: The assembly requires "Two or more people" (EN) or "Dos o más personas" (ES) working together, indicating that it is not a single-person task due to the size and complexity of the components.
- Safety during assembly: Strict safety precautions are outlined, including wearing safety gloves, eye protection, and long sleeves to prevent injury from sharp edges. Children and pets are prohibited from the construction site. Users are warned not to concentrate their total weight on the roof and to ensure proper operation of ladders and other tools for safety.
- Step-by-step assembly: The manual provides detailed, illustrated step-by-step instructions for assembling the pergola, starting from the base and working up to the roof structure. Each step lists the specific parts and fasteners required. For example, step 1 involves attaching Lc-40 to Lc-48 using Lc-A61, Lc-A64, Lc-A65, and Lc-A73. Step 4 shows the assembly of the main upright posts and their connection to the base structure. Step 5 details the attachment of crossbeams (Lc-46, Lc-47) to the main posts. Subsequent steps cover the assembly of the roof framework (Lc-1, Lc-2, Lc-A3, Lc-10, Lc-11, Lc-5, Lc-6, Lc-8, Lc-8a, Lc-4, Lc-13) and the various roof panels (Lc-23, Lc-23a, Lc-24, Lc-24a, Lc-24b, Lc-24c, Lc-25, Lc-25a, Lc-26, Lc-26a, Lc-27a, Lc-28, Lc-29). The final steps involve securing the roof components and adding decorative elements (Lc-A16, Lc-17).
- Anchoring: The instructions explicitly show the use of anchors (e.g., Lc-A58, Lc-A59) to fix the pergola to the ground, reinforcing the importance of stability.
Maintenance Features
The manual provides clear guidelines for maintaining the pergola:
- Cleaning: Both the interior and exterior of the structure should be kept clean using a soft cloth and water.
- Snow removal: In areas with light or heavy snowfall, there is a risk of collapse. Users are instructed to clean and remove snow using necessary tools and to ensure it is safe to enter the structure after clearing. This highlights the importance of regular inspection and maintenance, especially in winter conditions, to prevent structural damage.
- Intended use: The pergola is strictly for storing objects and is not intended for residence or other purposes. This clarifies its functional limitations and prevents misuse that could lead to damage or safety issues.
Overall, the Gardiun Denver Wooden Pergola is presented as a robust outdoor structure designed for shade and storage, requiring careful assembly and regular maintenance to ensure its longevity and safety.
