Monaco pergola

Transform your terrace into a modern outdoor living space with the Forum Monaco pergola. Made of dark charcoal powder-coated aluminum, this freestanding pergola features adjustable louvers that let you control shade, light, and airflow.

Its integrated drainage system, reinforced structure, and five available sizes make it a versatile solution for creating a terrace, patio, or relaxation area near the pool.

A contemporary, architectural design

The Monaco pergola stands out with its straight lines, substantial structure, and dark charcoal finish.

Its modern appearance is particularly well suited to:

• Contemporary terraces
• Residential patios
• Relaxation areas near the pool
• Outdoor living rooms
• Outdoor dining areas
• Modern landscaping
• Residential and commercial spaces

Its rectangular shape and freestanding design allow it to be incorporated into various types of layouts without having to be installed directly against a building.

Powder-coated aluminum structure

The structure is made of aluminum coated with a powder-coated finish. This process provides a uniform surface and helps protect the metal against corrosion and outdoor conditions.

Its main advantages include:

• A rust-resistant structure
• A durable, easy-to-maintain finish
• A contemporary appearance
• A lighter material than steel
• A design suited to outdoor installation
• An easy-to-coordinate dark charcoal color

The reinforced posts have an approximately 6 in. x 6 in. cross-section and an advertised height of approximately 8 ft.

Adjustable louvers

The roof consists of adjustable louvers that allow the opening to be modified according to the conditions and the desired level of comfort.

The adjustable louvers allow you to:

• Adjust shade and natural light
• Promote air circulation
• Reduce direct sun exposure
• Create a more open or intimate atmosphere
• Close the roof during light rain

When the louvers are open, air and light circulate more freely. When they are closed, they provide greater coverage and direct water toward the drainage system.

The pergola is not a completely watertight indoor room. Water infiltration may still occur during heavy rain, strong winds, or extreme weather conditions.

Integrated drainage system

The Monaco pergola features integrated gutters that collect and drain water when the louvers are closed.

This system helps to:

• Channel rainwater
• Reduce direct runoff along the sides
• Limit splashing around the furniture
• Maintain a more comfortable space beneath the structure
• Preserve the pergola’s clean appearance

Gutters and downspouts should be cleaned regularly to prevent blockages caused by leaves and debris.

The Monaco pergola is available in the following sizes:

• 10 ft. x 10 ft.
• 10 ft. x 12 ft.

Advertised structural resistance

According to the data provided for this pergola, its structure offers:

• An advertised wind resistance of up to 150 km/h
• An advertised distributed load capacity of up to 100 kg/m²

These figures assume, among other things:

• Fully compliant assembly
• Appropriate permanent anchoring
• A sufficiently strong foundation
• A structure in perfect condition
• A uniformly distributed load
• Following the manufacturer’s instructions

They do not guarantee protection against damage caused by a storm, gusts of wind, localized overloading, excessive snow accumulation, or improper installation.

Winter use

The pergola is designed to remain installed throughout the seasons, but it requires regular winter maintenance.

During winter:

• Monitor snow and ice accumulation
• Observe the specified load capacity
• Remove accumulations before they become significant
• Use tools that will not damage the louvers
• Inspect the louvers and structure after a storm
• Check the anchors regularly
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the position of the louvers

Never climb onto the pergola roof to remove snow.

Installation and anchoring

The Monaco pergola must be installed on a solid, stable, and perfectly level surface.

It can be installed on:

• A concrete slab
• A specially prepared foundation
• A structurally sound and reinforced deck
• A paver surface designed to accommodate the required anchors

Before installation:

• Check municipal regulations
• Confirm whether a permit is required
• Observe the required clearances around the pool
• Locate cables and utility lines
• Have the surface’s load-bearing capacity assessed
• Use anchors suitable for the foundation
• Refer to the assembly instructions

Professional installation is strongly recommended due to the structure’s dimensions, weight, and anchoring requirements.

Safe Use

The pergola is suitable for installing outdoor furniture, a dining set, or a patio set.

Before adding an accessory:

• Check the structural capacity of the attachment point
• Do not hang any object directly from the louvers
• Avoid concentrated loads
• Observe the required electrical clearances
• Use only compatible accessories
• Obtain written authorization before installing an appliance that produces a flame or significant heat

A barbecue, fire pit, or cooking appliance must not be installed under the pergola without complying with the manufacturer's instructions, required clearances, and applicable regulations.
