CliKIT on TVBioclimatic pergola and hail: what effective solutions are there?
Imagining an outdoor living space often sparks the most pleasant ideas. Yet, one must think of everything, including the unexpected. Is the bioclimatic pergola truly reliable and resistant against hail and other weather events? Here are some answers to help you find effective protection at home.
Do bioclimatic pergolas withstand hail well?
April showers and other local weather phenomena can catch you off guard and even send you rushing for shelter. Very often, this shelter is the pergola space of a home, especially when it is bioclimatic and literally designed to withstand all weather and adapt to the seasons.
By their design and the aluminum materials used, bioclimatic pergolas are engineered to withstand bad weather and hail.
The adjustable slats of the bioclimatic pergola are designed to withstand hail and rain. They are motorized and adjustable so they can be opened or closed according to needs and weather conditions.
What are the most resistant materials?
Installing a pergola is an investment, and the fear of storms can be very real for homeowners. With a bioclimatic pergola and its aluminum structure, you have nothing to worry about. Aluminum, from the adjustable slats to the bases, is renowned for its exceptional strength and outstanding lifespan.
In all weather conditions, the aluminum of the bioclimatic pergola showcases its strength and shines through its robustness.
Are the adjustable slats a weak point?
The bioclimatic pergola is an aluminum structure equipped with adjustable slats on the roof, designed to adapt to all seasons and weather conditions. Following this design philosophy and the anticipated constraints, the adjustable slats are in no way a weak point during a hailstorm. Opening the slats beforehand can help water and accumulated hailstones drain away more easily, but if you are away from home, there is really nothing to worry about: the aluminum and the structure will handle it!

What are the risks of hail for a bioclimatic pergola?
Designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions, the bioclimatic pergola remains very solid against hail.
This remains an exceptional phenomenon, and although it is necessary to check the condition of the adjustable slats and the aluminum structure after an intense episode, the structures are designed to withstand the most extreme conditions.

Are there any specific treatments or reinforcements?
With anti-UV and water-repellent properties, pergola structures and their accessories are suited to all conditions. By default, CliKIT's bioclimatic pergola is designed to facilitate the drainage of water accumulated from hail, thanks to integrated drainage and optimal water management across all parts of the shelter, including the roof.
Can a temporary protective cover be installed?
Roof tarps exist to protect all types of roofs, from houses to garden sheds, including pergolas. This solution can be reassuring in the event of an exceptional episode, but keep in mind that the aluminum structure and adjustable slats are designed to withstand the most extreme conditions.
How to protect your bioclimatic pergola against hail?
Autumn and spring are the two seasons most prone to hail episodes. Opening the adjustable slats of the bioclimatic pergola can facilitate the direct drainage of hailstones and ensure that no residue remains on the roof surface.
You should also make sure to store or retract all accessories designed to close your structure, such as blinds, canopies, and other pergola side panels.
What should be done after a hailstorm?
Like snow, an accumulation of hailstones can represent a significant load on structures. After a hailstorm, do not hesitate to check the condition of the structure and, above all, to clear away any residue and the layer of hail on the roof if the adjustable slats were in the closed position before the storm.

What warranty and insurance apply to a bioclimatic pergola?
CliKIT bioclimatic pergolas are guaranteed for 10 years and comply with the strictest European standards. The aluminum profiles are powder-coated and carry the QUALICOAT LABEL. The quality of CliKIT products and bioclimatic pergolas also comes with a customer service team ready to answer your questions and support you for many years, ensuring that your aluminum bioclimatic pergola has a lifespan of several decades.
In terms of insurance, taking out garden insurance, often linked to home insurance, appears to be the most suitable option for protecting a bioclimatic pergola against bad weather and other phenomena.
