Page 3: Installation Steps
Installation Steps Step 1- If not already done, remove the wrapping from the outside of the crate. Step 2- Lay all parts next to where you will be installing the pergola. Step 3- Place all four beams on the ground (with the x’s facing up) exactly where you would like the pergola to stand, like so: Step 4- Slide two rafters down onto the two outermost X marks on the beams and get a screw started through the top of the rafter in the predrilled holes. - Page 4 Step 5- Step back and look to see how square everything looks. Take a tape measure and hook it on the outside tip of the rafters, and pull the tape to the opposite corner. Write down the measurement. Then hook it on the other corner and pull to the opposite corner like this: Move the back beam from side to side until you have the same measurement both ways.
- Page 5 Step 9- Lye the four posts on the ground with the bottoms at the edge of each hole, with the tops facing away from each other. Like This: Step 10- Lay one beam down on the ground near the top of the posts. Slide the posts up and onto the beam between the lines on the beam where it says post.
- Page 6 Step 13- With one person on each side, tilt the assembly up and drop the posts into the postholes (or into the post bases if on concrete). Have your helper hold the assembly plumb. (Note: For some of the larger size pergolas this step may require more help) Refill the holes around the posts with dirt or dry concrete.
