SERENITY VINYL PERGOLA KIT
Thank you for purchasing our Serenity Vinyl Pergola Kit. Easy Installation can be completed
usually in a day, depending on the size of your Pergola. There are a few things you
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 4 posts will rest. If not, it may be necessary
to cut the tops of the posts so that the tops are all level, or use shims on the bottom of
the posts to raise them up. Other than this, there is no cutting of any of the components
of your pergola. If you feel that you will need to make any additional cuts, please call
before doing so.
2. These instructions show connection to asphalt, using a wedge bolt and tap-con screws.
Connecting to concrete is by the same method. If connecting to an existing deck, a lag
bolt and deck screws will replace the wedge bolt and tap-con screws. If a deck was
ordered with the pergola, see the instructions that are added for the deck.
3. The 4 Beam Pergola does not give the ability to alter the location of the posts. It is
important that they are laid out correctly and double checked for accuracy before
permanently attaching to the base.

P a g e It is a good idea to install a couple screws in the legs before lifting them into place. This will make it easier to attach while holding the beams. There are no predrilled holes in the legs. 5. - Page 6 P a g e SECTION 4 - MAIN RUNNERS 1.
