While our Unique Pergolas are almost maintenance-free, there are a few little tips to help keep your Pergola looking as new.
- You may need to spray your Pergola with a spider repellent every six months to keep spiders from making webs. We use a product like Home Defence or RichGro, which is available at your nearest hardware store. These products typically have a handy spray head, making it easy to spray them into the spaces around the louvres.
- Regular pressure washing is vital to keeping your Pergola clean and free from dust and dirt. Use a high-pressure Gerni or a hose with a high-pressure nozzle attached. If your backyard birds have been less than friendly, a gentle brush broom and some detergent will help.
