The Skydance pergola does not feature tracks or blanking strips, giving it a sleek and modern appearance. However, this design means that if you wish to install glass panels, screens, or heaters, you will need to secure them directly to the structure. This requires drilling into the pergola using self-drilling screws.
What Are Self-Drilling Screws?
Self-drilling screws are specialised fasteners with a drill-shaped tip. They are designed to create their own holes and form threads into a material, eliminating the need for pre-drilled pilot holes. These screws are ideal for attaching components to materials like wood, soft steel, and aluminium.
When attaching the screen or other accessories, ensure the screws are properly aligned and securely fastened to maintain the integrity of the pergola’s structure. Please refer to the instruction manual of the accessory you are installing to ensure the correct installation procedure is followed.
