A:Answer Thank you for your important question regarding safety ratings.
This pergola is engineered to withstand winds up to Beaufort Scale 8 (approximately 34-40 mph or 54-64 km/h). Regarding snow, we strongly recommend keeping the louvers fully open during snowfall. If the louvers must remain closed, please clear accumulated snow once it reaches a depth of approximately 5 inches (about 13 cm) to prevent excessive load.
Additionally, for safety during high winds, the side privacy curtains should always be retracted and secured.
Please follow these guidelines to ensure the longevity and safety of your structure. For any further installation or use questions, feel free to contact us.
