With the return of sunny days, the pergola makes its big comeback on our terraces. Individuals, professionals, the time has come to enjoy the outdoor spaces. So, to your tarps, ready?! The installation can begin!

What are the different ways to attach my tarp to my pergola?

Fixing your pergola cover is an important step, to be done carefully. For your safety and that of the occupants who enjoy the shade of the pergola, here are some tips and instructions for attaching the tarpaulin to the structure of your pergola.

What are the methods of attaching the tarp to the pergola?

The roof of the pergola must be firmly and durably installed so that it is not torn off at the first gust of wind. You may have to pick up your tarp from the neighbour, or worse, it may fly away and cause an accident or property damage. To avoid this type of inconvenience, the essential accessory is undoubtedly the sandow.

The sandow is a particularly strong elastic fastening link. This strap allows you to hang a load, a tarp, to an existing support or structure. Elastic, the sandow is stretched to the maximum to lock the tarp firmly.

Thanks to the metal eyelets arranged on the perimeter of the tarpaulin, the sandow is passed through these eyelets and then rolled up and fixed to the structure.

The tarpaulin is clad above the pergola, forming a stretched roof, perfectly adapted to the structure.

Thus it does not float in the wind and offers less mechanical resistance in case of gusts.

The sandow offers the advantage of being very easily removable: as soon as the season ends, just unhook the bungees to disassemble the tarpaulin, clean and store!
