What happens here
For the retractable canopy section, install parallel tracks along the top of the pergola frame, positioned to allow the canopy fabric to slide smoothly. The fabric canopy, typically made of weather-resistant material, is then integrated into these tracks. A manual crank mechanism is installed on a vertical post or beam, with a connecting rod or cord system that engages with the canopy to facilitate its extension and retraction. Although the video does not show the full installation of this system, it demonstrates its successful integration, providing a flexible shade solution. This system is distinct from the rigid panels and typically covers a different area or is designed to slide *over* an open grid.
Goal: Install the specialized tracks, fabric canopy, and manual crank mechanism to enable adjustable shade over another section of the pergola.
