Oak is a heavy, hard and medium tough wood. Moderately dimensionally stable in case of moisture changes. Oak wood blackens if it is exposed to moisture or wetness for a long time. However, it does not affect the other properties of the wood. Thanks to its hardness and toughness, the oak wood is suitable for furniture and other use in exposed environments.
Nola uses high-quality steel of good strength in our products. Steel rusts if left untreated and must therefore be surface treated. For this we use two main methods for surface treatment of steel parts; electrogalvanizing and powder coating as well as hot-dip galvanizing.
Wood oil provides good protection against the stresses of the outdoor climate and at the same time highlights the wood's natural appearance and properties.
Electrogalvanizing (also known as zinc plating) provides corrosion protection through the sacrifice of zinc ions. It is created via a zinc coating on the steel using an electric current.
Powder coating is a coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, powder coating is usually applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. The result is an even, hard-wearing coloured surface with the desired gloss level.
Posts for installation in pre-cast foundations.
Poles, trellises, over-lignite and pergola bars are supplied separately.
Poles are measured and anchored to the ground.
Trellises are mounted against the posts and the associated screw.
The uppers are screwed against the posts with the screws and angular fittings attached.
The pergola booms are screwed against the uppers using the screws and angular fittings supplied.
See installation instructions for more information.
Oiled oak should be oiled twice a year for best protection. Good maintenance can never completely prevent stains from occurring, but oak that is not maintained will turn blacker and turn gray faster, but it still has a very long life. When re-oiling products, a finely boiled oil that penetrates the wood should be chosen over a film-forming oil.
Products that are electro-galvanized and powder-coated can be touch-up painted with alkyd paint.
Akalla is a pergola system that can be expanded. The start section has the measurements above. There are extension kits for longer variants. Body sections and trellis sections are ordered separately. Standard steel color, black RAL 9005
