1. Choosing a kit or a complete package
- The SAM 20mm kit is the perfect choice for installing a pergola roof (available in white, gray, or black).
- The SAM 18mm kit is ideal for installing on vertical surfaces (privacy screens, windbreaks).
Each kit includes 5 blade holders, with a left side and a right side. The kits connect easily to one another using a locking latch, allowing for a quick and modular installation.
And to make it even more customizable for your project, the kit can be cut to size, allowing you to precisely adjust the number of blade holders you need.
The SAM kit is available in two options:
- The kit alone, for those who want to customize their setup.
- The complete package, which includes the kit, slats, and screws, is ready to cover 1 m² in no time.
Set up your project!
With our configurator, you can create a mock-up of your project in just a few clicks. The tool automatically determines all the products and quantities you’ll need based on your preferences and desired dimensions, then adds them directly to your cart. It’s simple, fast, and efficient—all you have to do is get started!
2. Blade Selection and Size
First, determine the desired dimensions for your pergola. Once you've determined those, you can calculate the number of slats needed to build a pergola.
The mechanism's slat holders are designed to accommodate aluminum slats measuring 100x20x2000 mm or wooden slats measuring 95x20x1000 mm.
The maximum length for aluminum slats is 2000 mm, and the maximum length for wooden slats is 1000 mm.
The planks can be cut to the length required for the project. However, you must always leave a 2-mm expansion gap on each side between the plank and the subfloor, for a total gap of 4 mm.
3. Installing the kit
The mechanism attaches to the structure at the end cap of the kit. The type of fastener will depend on the structure to which it is attached. The screws must therefore be suitable for the substrate, whether metal or wood. For packages that include both slats and the kit, 4.8×38 self-tapping screws matching the color of the mechanism are provided.
4. The Mechanisms
- Manual version: using a rotating plate attached to one of the pergola slats, into which a rod is inserted to rotate all the connected mechanisms.
- Motorized version with a remote control. An option with rain, wind, and temperature sensors is available to ensure optimal user comfort.
