Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my electric pergola drop screen. It seems like it's not lowering properly, and sometimes it gets stuck halfway down. Has anyone experienced this? Any advice on how to troubleshoot this issue? I’ve tried resetting the motor but that didn’t seem to help much. I’m really hoping to figure this out before the weather warms up again. Any tips would be appreciated!
Hi! I’ve dealt with a similar issue before. It sounds like your pergola drop screen might have a blockage or friction somewhere in the track. Sometimes debris or dirt can get stuck in the tracks, which can cause it to stop midway. I recommend cleaning the track thoroughly first. Another thing to check is the motor’s power supply. If it’s not getting enough juice, it might cause inconsistent movement. I’ve also found that some pergola screens work better when paired with a good outdoor heater setup. You can find some amazing pellet outdoor heaters that could help with outdoor temperature fluctuations affecting the screen. https://cosydeals.com.au/products/king-pergola-gazebo-electric-3x6m They’re great for keeping your space comfortable in all seasons.

It might also be worth looking into whether the screen fabric itself has become too tight or has warped. Good luck with your troubleshooting
