WOOD 4 BEAM DELUXE PERGOLA INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing our 4 Beam Deluxe Wood Pergola. Depending on the size of
your pergola, installation can usually be completed in a day.
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, they should be level where the posts will rest. If they are 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 you feel that you will need to make any
additional cuts, please contact us before doing so. Making cuts without calling
first may make installation difficult or impossible or 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 4 beam pergola does not give you the ability to alter the location of the posts.
It is important that they are laid out correctly and that you double check for
accuracy before permanently attaching it to your base.
4. There are alternate sections that explain how the runners and top runners attach.
Be sure that you use the correct section.
