Should the pergola curtains and mosquito netting be left up over the winter?
Gazebo Penguin recommends storing the curtains and the mosquito netting indoors over the winter, which is the usual advice for outdoor fabric: the weight of snow, ice and months of wind shorten the life of polyester and of a fine mesh.
Taking them down needs no tools — untie the curtains at the posts and lift the netting off the hooks under the beams — and they go back up in the spring. Fold them clean and dry, and keep them somewhere dry so they come out of storage without mildew.
