Further tips for optimally sealing a slatted roof:

  • If the slats are not completely rainproof, then check the position of the slats on the push rod or the position of the end plates on the side.
  • If the fins are not fixed to the push rod completely closed, there may be a small opening where the seal does not sit.
  • If the end plates are too tight, they can press on the slats and the seals don't sit completely. It can then drip in heavy rain.
  • Also note that the remote control for the louvered roof is not waterproof and should not be left outside permanently. You should keep these in the living room when you are not using the pergola.
