Fedora Pergola Kit (Attached)
Thank you for purchasing a do-it-yourself pergola kit from Pergola Depot. We appreciate your business,
and we are here to help you in any way possible. It will help to read these instructions entirely before
beginning. Take your time, follow these instructions, and call us if you need help. You can do this!
If you are installing on a concrete foundation, we recommend you use galvanized steel post bases on each
post secured with concrete anchors. For our pressure treated pine kits, we recommend you also install one
Tapcon concrete screw in each post base to prevent twisting of the post while drying. The post bases,
anchors and Tapcons are included with your kit if purchased with the option to be installed "on a concrete
slab or footer" and can be purchased as accessories from us or from your local hardware store. There are
instructions on how to install them in this document, and we have a video on the Installation Information
page on our website under the Resources>Tips menu.
If you are installing your pergola on top of new footings, allow the concrete to dry before completing the
rest of the pergola installation. This may require that you dig the holes and pour the footings one weekend
and then assemble the kit the next. Additional instructions are provided below.
Check out the Resources>Tips tab on our website and don't hesitate to contact us if you have
questions or need some extra help.

o 2x8 Beams (2 for standard size kits) o 2x8 Rafters (# depends upon kit size) o 2x8 Ledger Board (1) o 6x6 Notched Posts (2 for standard size kits) o 2x6 Angle Braces (4 for standard size kits) o 2x2 Top Slats (# depends upon kit size) o Hardware Pack - 3”... - Page 4 Move the boards around until you have the same measurement both ways. When you have the same measurement, it is perfectly square. Hint: This is easier if you and your helper both have a tape measure and pull them across at the same time. You and your helper must hold the rafters steady so that they do not move while taking your measurements.
- Page 5 Post Base Installation: If installing using post bases on top of an existing concrete foundation or previously poured footings, place the bases on the concrete in the exact position where they will be installed. Hint: The measurements between the center of each post base should be the same as the center post to post measurement for your size pergola, which is 3’6”...
- Page 6 Step 12 - If installing post base trim, slide trim over the bottom of each post and up the post so it will be out of the way for the next couple steps. Then insert the rebar through the hole at the bottom of each post. Use a hammer to move the rebar into place through the post until you have approximately equal lengths of rebar on either side of the post.
- Page 7 Step 16 - Level up from the marks you made on the wall earlier to the desired height of the pergola. The bottom of the ledger board should be the same height as, and level with the bottom of the front beam. Holding the ledger board in place exactly where it will be installed, ensuring that the board is level, mark with a pencil through the pre-drilled holes in the ledger board.
- Page 8 Step 19- Place the top slats into position in the layout lines across the top of the rafters on the lines labeled with an S, make sure you have the same overhang on each end of the top slats over the outer rafters and screw them down to the rafters using 3” screws. Every top slat should be screwed down on each rafter.
