AlunoTec Pergola - five years on
5 years ago, we bought our pergola blind just through pain-sticking dialogue with Fanny of AlunoTec's Customer Service. The fact that when the components were built up into the pergola on site, all the dimensions were "inch perfect" per order and assembled without any glitch was a testament not only to the thoroughness of the antecedent dialogue but also to the quality of AlunoTec's internal dialogue in their communication and execution of our order. 5 years on, the pergola still functions 100% and even my feared failure of the motor that actuates the opening and closure of the louvers did not materialized. With hind sight, our decision not to use the active type of pergola that uses a moveable diaphragm of rubberized canvas as the top surface was 100% vindicated. This is because our pergola is located between 2 trees in the garden and the amount of droppings I have to deal with is not for the faint hearted. With aluminum louvers, they have withstood countless high pressure jet wash to stay looking as nice now as they did when first assembled..
