Pergola, guillotine glass, zip screen and winter garden maintenance calendar: what to do and when

12.11.2026 5 min read SkyArt Group

Gutters every 2–3 months, pergola and guillotine glass every 6 months, glass-roof gaskets every 6–12 months, remote batteries yearly. We put the care of all four products in one table and separated owner tasks from service work.

Short answer

An easy-to-remember maintenance calendar: gutters every 2–3 months, pergola and guillotine glass every 6 months, glass-roof gaskets every 6 months among trees (yearly otherwise), remote-control batteries about once a year. Regular maintenance also allows the warranty to be extended. Below we have gathered all four products in one table, separating what the owner can do from what the service team must do.

What the owner should not touch

  • The owner cannot adjust a guillotine glass or replace its chain/belt; call the service. Do not dismantle it: that voids the warranty.
  • Pairing the remote is done by service; a spare remote cannot be paired in advance.
  • A pergola has no manual closing handle during a power cut; a power supply (UPS) is recommended.

Warranty and maintenance

Maintenance after the warranty is chargeable; those who keep up regular maintenance get the warranty extended. More: is maintenance chargeable after the warranty?
