ASSEMBLY
To allow the Traditional Patio Pergola to be added to the
Traditional Pergola the following changes need to be made.
The Rafters (B) in the Traditional Patio Pergola have to fit
into the top of the posts of the Traditional Pergola. To
enable this to be done the two Rafters (B) in the Traditional
Pergola kit need to be cut down to the same size as the (B)
Rafters in the Traditional Patio Pergola kit.
Once this has been done the two rafters should be located
into the top of the posts.
