MB-OpenSky 140 – pergola system
The MB-OpenSky 140 structure is made of extruded aluminium, which guarantees its durability for years. The supporting posts are extremely tough and their geometry provides exceptional rigidity. The profiles of the posts and purlins are connected by means of C and L type joints. An innovative method of spacing the profiles with custom-designed cleats makes it possible both to ensure the stability of the entire system and to create an aesthetic connection with no visible gaps. The canopy is formed by a module composed of movable slats and fitted with a mechanism for changing their angle on an axis from 0 to 135°. The slats feature tailor-made seals for protection against rainwater and there is a drainage system located in the posts. This ensures that water is efficiently fed through gutters and downpipes to the storm drain.
Tests carried out on the system showed that, for structures with the dimensions of 6 m length × 4 m width × 3 m height, the permissible snow load is 200 kg/m², which corresponds to a covering of snow approximately 1000 mm deep and a simultaneous wind load of around 59 mph.
There is a free-standing version and a wall-mounted version, which comes complete with a custom-designed brackets, making it possible to insulate the wall. The maximum dimensions of one section are 7 m lenght × 5 m width × 3 m height.
