Need help?Do you have a question about the Markilux pergola and is the answer not in the manual?
The markilux pergola is a sophisticated awning system designed to provide shade and protection from the elements. It features a robust construction and offers various configurations, including options for integrated lighting and additional shade elements.
The markilux pergola serves as an extendable awning, primarily for sun protection, but also offers protection against light rain and wind. It can be operated manually via a hand crank or with a motor drive for automated extension and retraction. The system is designed for outdoor use, providing a comfortable shaded area for patios and other outdoor spaces. Optional features include LED spotlights and LED lines for ambient lighting, as well as a "shadeplus" element for additional vertical sun protection. The awning is designed to be retracted in strong winds, heavy snow, or thunderstorms to prevent damage.
The wind resistance class of the markilux pergola varies depending on its configuration and size. For wind speed V (km/h), maximum values are typically:
For wind speed V (m/s), maximum values are:
The awning is designed to withstand certain wind loads, but it is crucial to observe the specified limits to prevent damage. The maximum projection of the awning is limited, and the fabric tension is achieved when the awning is extended. The system can be equipped with various fabric types, including sunsilk snc and sunvas snc, which offer UV protection factors (UPF 50+). The awning fabric is designed to be water-repellent, but continuous exposure to heavy rain or snow should be avoided.
The LED lighting options include LED spotlights and LED lines. The LED spotlights are typically 1.5W each, and the LED lines consume 17W per meter. The energy efficiency class for markilux spotlights and LED line is A.
Operation: The markilux pergola can be operated either manually with a hand crank or via a motor drive. The motor drive allows for convenient extension and retraction using a push-button switch or a radio-controlled remote. The remote control typically includes "DOWN," "STOP," and "Up" buttons for easy control. For models with a motor drive, an automatic control system can be integrated, which may include wind, sun, and rain sensors to automatically retract or extend the awning based on weather conditions.
Lighting: Optional LED spotlights and LED lines can be integrated into the cover support tube and guide rails, respectively. These provide ambient lighting for evening use. The LED spotlights are typically swivel-mounted, allowing for adjustment of the light direction. The LED lines offer a continuous strip of light. The lighting can be switched on/off via the remote control or a wall switch.
Shadeplus: The "shadeplus" feature is an additional vertical awning that can be extended from the front profile, offering extra privacy and low-angle sun protection. It is operated independently, either manually or with a motor drive.
Lowerable Support Post: Some markilux pergola models feature lowerable support posts, which can be adjusted to provide better water run-off in case of rain. This is particularly useful in preventing water accumulation on the fabric.
Safety Instructions: It is crucial to read and understand the safety instructions before using the markilux pergola. Important warnings include:
Cleaning: The awning fabric and frame components should be cleaned regularly to maintain their appearance and functionality. For the fabric, use mild, pH-neutral cleaning agents and avoid abrasive materials. The frame can be cleaned with commercially available household detergents. For stubborn dirt, specialized markilux cleaning products may be used. It is important to rinse thoroughly with water after cleaning.
Repair and Spare Parts: In case of damage or malfunction, it is recommended to contact an authorized markilux specialist for repairs. Only original markilux spare parts should be used. Regular inspections by a specialist are advised to identify potential issues early.
Awning Cover in Wet Condition: If the awning becomes wet, it should be extended to dry completely before retraction to prevent mildew formation and maintain fabric quality.
Adjustments and Settings: The manual provides instructions for adjusting the motor drive's end stops and for replacing LED spotlights or LED lines. These tasks may require specialized tools or expertise and should be performed carefully.
Winter Storage: While the markilux pergola is designed for year-round outdoor use, it is advisable to retract the awning during prolonged periods of heavy snow or extreme weather conditions.
Conversion or Retrofitting: The markilux pergola system allows for modifications and retrofitting, such as changing the awning cover or adding an automatic control system. These conversions should be performed by a specialist to ensure proper functionality and safety.
