If installing on a concrete slab or on concrete footers, they should be level where the posts will rest. If they are not, it may be necessary to cut the bottom of the posts so that the bottoms are all level.
  • Page 3 Notes: An air-nailer or stapler can be used for roof decking on asphalt shingles. (Air nails and staples not included in the kit.) There will be a parts list sent with the Pavilion. All hardware is included in each Pavilion kit. The specific hardware will vary depending on the Pavilion.
