ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
All Pergolas are completely erected in the shop prior to be crating for shipping. All hardware is
included. All parts are fully sanded, routered, notched, drilled and numbered for ease of re-
assembly. The parts that go together have the same numbers/letters written next to the predrilled
holes they attach to.
All Pergola parts are notched into the part they connect to. You'll find the numbers next to the
notches and/or drill holes. Before beginning re-assembly, place the parts that go together on the
ground with one another so you don't have to be searching around in the middle of the re-
assembly. Most pergolas take less than one day to reassemble with one helper. Very large
pergolas (6 posts or larger) usually require a second day to finish up.
STEP 2:
Attach support to posts with four bolts (12” x
3/8”) washers & nuts. (Match numbers).Tap
the bolt all the way into the wood to set it,
then add a washer and nut and lightly
tighten.
Repeat this step with the other supports.

STEP 8:
Attach arched rafters to supports with galvanized deck screws (3”x 8”) at 45 degree angles to attach to
the supports. There are 8 screws used per rafter.
Make sure each rafter's notches are snuggly into the supports before adding the deck screws. The
supports have lines marking the exact spot to attach the rafter. Just make sure to stay to the markings
on the supports to keep the spacing exactly the same (default rafter spacing is 18” on center unless
custom ordered differently). Start at one end and attach one rafter at a time from both sides and on both
ends before moving to the next rafter.And repeat the process in all Arched Rafters.
