WOOD SERENITY PERGOLA INSTRUCTIONS
Shown – 12x14 Treated Pine Serenity Pergola with decorative posts (w/16" post base trim).
Thank you for purchasing the Serenity Wood Pergola. Depending on the size of the
pergola, installation can usually be completed in a day. These instructions apply to both
cedar and treated pine models.
Consider a few details before starting assembly:
1. The base for the pergola must be solid and level. If installing on a concrete slab or
on concrete footers, it should be level where the posts will rest. If not, it may be
necessary to cut the top of the posts so that the tops are all level. Other than this,
no cutting is necessary. If any additional cuts are needed, please contact us before
doing so. Making cuts without calling first may make installation difficult and
may void our warranties.
2. These instructions show connection to asphalt using a wedge bolt. The same
method can be used with concrete. If connecting to an existing deck, a lag bolt
and deck screws (not included) will replace the wedge bolt.
3. The Serenity pergola does not give the ability to alter the location of the posts. It is
important they are laid out correctly and double checked for accuracy before
permanently attaching it to the base.
