What happens here

The final touch for the pergola is the installation of the Palram polycarbonate roofing. Carefully unpackage the Palram panels, being sure to keep the protective film on until installation. Follow Palram's specific instructions for cutting the panels to size using a fine-tooth saw blade. Install any required sealing strips or foam closures along the rafters to prevent moisture and insects from entering. Lay the first panel onto the pergola rafters, ensuring it is properly aligned. Use the specialized Palram mounting profiles, fasteners, and end caps to secure each panel, ensuring a watertight seal and proper expansion/contraction. Overlap panels according to the manufacturer's guidelines, and ensure all perimeter edges are properly finished.

Goal: Provide a durable, dry, and shaded cover for the pergola.
