Opening the blades

Clockwise view from left of pergola

The blades will rotate clockwise when standing outside the pergola and looking at the left side.

So if the facade of your building is towards the back, your blades open from back to front.

With the 45° blades, the sun's rays will be blocked by the blades.

This orientation is ideal for pergolas located in regions south of Lyon, where solar gain in winter is not necessarily necessary to heat your main room.
