STEP 1
PREPARING THE SITE
& SETTING OUT THE POSTS
Consider the location carefully before proceeding.
Where will the sun be at the time of day you use it?
What access is required?
Determine the footprint required for the pergola
proposed. Ensure the area is clear and mark out
the positions for the posts.
Opposite and on the following page is a front and side views showing
our recommended measurements for setting out your walkway.
For the width we advise setting the posts to the cross section of the
trusses as shown in the diagram but this can be at your preference just
so long as the posts are set out equally and square.
DON'T FORGET TO CHECK YOUR WORK WITH A LEVEL AS YOU GO!
