The cold winter months are approaching quickly. Although it is getting colder outside, the winter days also have their charm and coziness. Fall is the perfect timing to clean up your garden and get it ready for a new season. Discover our tips to make your terrace winterproof.
2. Protect your patio roof against frost
Brustor pergolas have built-in frost protection. The protection is switched off as standard, but it is possible to switch this function on to prevent damage to your pergola. In this case, the louvers will open automatically at about 3° Celsius. This prevents the louvers from freezing together and causing damage when the roof is opened.
Your patio cover needs to be taken care of before the winter. Brustor's aluminium pergolas are very maintenance-friendly, so they don't take much time to clean. Would you like to know more about the maintenance of your pergola? Then read the complete manual here.
3. Protecting your awning from frost
We recommend closing your awning at night so that it is safely stored in its protective case and not exposed to harsh weather conditions. Did you forget to do this or is the fabric wet? Then the fabric should first be allowed to dry completely before rolling it back into its protective case. Rolling up a wet fabric can cause mold. Again, we recommend that you give your awning a good dusting before the frost sets in
