CliKIT on TVHow to fix a wall-mounted pergola: good to know
There you have it! You have — or are looking to take the plunge and become the owner of a pergola, whether bioclimatic or aluminium. The idea is certainly appealing with all the advantages of these modern structures, offering a privileged outdoor living space. Listing the benefits of these true outdoor extensions could almost take too long, but above all we must acknowledge the permanent and almost perfectly suited adaptability of these pergolas. If you would like to learn more about our pergolas, feel free to also consult our aluminium pergola guide.
First of all...
Regardless of the style of the house, its shape, or the outdoor arrangements already in place, it is possible to adapt the structure almost to order when it is custom-made, so that it blends in perfect continuity with the home.
This is made possible notably thanks to different types of structures but also two fixing principles. By offering this possibility, the modern pergola is sure to be well integrated and to offer all the advantages that can be attributed to it.
Also an opportunity to learn how to fix a wall-mounted pergola to the wall of a house or another building.
What are the two types of pergola fixings?
The wall-mounted pergola is logically different from the freestanding pergola. The latter is independent and can be placed autonomously without any supporting wall. It will however need to be fixed to the ground, on a concrete slab or concrete pads.
As for the wall-mounted pergola, it must of course also have ground anchoring at each post, but it will be leaned against a wall at the ridge level. Generally, this is the wall of the house so that the structure integrates directly with it.
The advantage of a wall-mounted pergola over a freestanding model
Since it logically has fewer ground anchors than a freestanding pergola, a wall-mounted pergola is, from an aesthetic point of view, even more streamlined. Our advice: if you can fix to the wall of your home, there is absolutely no reason to opt for a freestanding model. A wall-mounted pergola will always be more rigid than a freestanding pergola, as you benefit from the rigidity of your masonry.
When stepping onto your terrace, the pergola is mainly visible at height and the drawback of the posts is greatly minimised. If the aesthetic aspect is one of the only real advantages of this difference, it can be crucial for some homeowners. When choosing your pergola, this detail therefore logically matters.
How do you fix a pergola to a wall?
By choosing a custom-made CliKIT pergola, the most complex part will already be behind you by the time you receive your pergola kit!
Thanks to instruction guides and extensive content on the installation and fixing of a pergola according to numerous constraints and other characteristics specific to each structure, it will be straightforward to proceed with the installation of your wall-mounted pergola.
By following the steps defined by CliKIT, you will be able to enjoy your new structure in less than half a day, and even have time to have lunch underneath it if everything goes to plan!
The wall bracket to be fixed will undoubtedly be one of the only steps requiring careful attention, but by offering custom-made, kit-form pergolas, CliKIT also ensures that assembly is made particularly easy for homeowners.
Only the wall fixing screws are not supplied, as they must be suited to your surface. The choice of fixings is therefore important — do not hesitate to consult us if you are unsure.
Things not to forget
You must not forget to scrupulously follow the instruction manual provided upon receipt of your CliKIT product. For all available pergolas, there is a tailored manual written in the simplest possible way, in keeping with the assembly of this structure.
Between preparing the structure, the assembly order and the various instructions provided by the professionals at CliKIT, fixing a wall-mounted pergola is a particularly straightforward process. For obvious safety reasons, it is advisable to have two people, but even without much experience on the subject, CliKIT pergolas are particularly easy to assemble.
How can a custom-made build help me at the time of installation?
You will probably not find a pergola easier to assemble than those from CliKIT on the market. The concept of simple assembly is fully built into the process, thanks to precise CNC machining carried out in the workshop, minimising any adjustments at the time of assembling your pergola to the absolute minimum. Assembly is made easy through clear and well-defined steps.
The advantage of CliKIT's customer service
By choosing a CliKIT pergola, you will very quickly become aware of the expertise and ongoing advice from the teams. The same will be true at the time of delivery of your structure, since of course CliKIT does not leave you alone in the event of any issue at the time of assembly.
No question or doubt should be left unanswered, and to that end, contact with the teams is made easy whether by phone, instant messaging, video call or email.
At the time of assembly and as an enormous additional advantage of the CliKIT solution compared to other solutions available on the market, a dedicated technical advisor is assigned to you.
