Run a bead of glue around the inside lip of the 1 1/2” x 5 1/2”
pergola end cap (part 6). Place onto the end of one of the beams,
and hold in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to bond.
Repeat this for the remaining caps until the end of each beam is
covered.
As described in step 14, glue the 1 3/4” sq pergola end caps (part
7) onto the ends of the filters.

Lay out two 96” beams (part 2). Fasten a mounting bracket to
the center of each beam as shown using 3/4” screws. Make sure
the bracket splits the center line of the beam. For a 78” opening,
evenly space the remaining brackets 13 3/4” apart (center to
center). For an 82” opening, space the brackets 14 1/2” apart.
When finished, you should measure 12 1/4” or 13” between the
upright tabs of each bracket depending on the opening width.

Again, verify as you go. Check each post for level. Check your
measurements between each post, and adjust as needed. The image

Slide the end of the beam through the second hole down from
the top of the post (part 1) as shown. Make sure the brackets on
the beam are facing towards the top of the post. Slide a second
post onto the opposite end of the beam.
For a 78” opening, stop when the end of the beam measures 4”
from the outside edge of the post. For an 82” opening, stop when
it measures 2”. Fasten both ends of the beam to the posts as
illustrated, using two 3” screws per post. Repeat steps 1 & 2 for
the remaining posts and bracketed beam.
Regardless of your installation method, make sure to verify the
exact distance between the posts before digging holes or
installing mounts. See (Fig. 2) on the front cover for the correct
spacing between posts. The image shown is for assembly purposes only and may
not exactly resemble this product.
If you have purchased the Aussie Auger mounting kit, please
refer to the instructions for installing the mounts. If you have not
purchased a kit, we recommend installing with treated wood.
Take two 96” beams and connect the panels together by sliding
the beams through the top holes in the posts as shown. The end
of each beam should measure 4” to the outside edge of the post
for a 78” opening, or 2” for an 82” opening. Fasten the beams to
the posts as described in step 3.
Place the remaining 5 beams into the mounting brackets you
installed earlier in step 1. Make sure the overhang on each end is
equal. Fasten the beams through the upright tabs of the brackets
using two 3/4” screws per bracket.
Center one of the filters (part 3) across the top of the beams as
shown. Again, make sure the overhang on each end is equal.
Fasten the filter to the beams at each intersection with 3” screws.
Note: you must fasten through the filter and into the beam. If
you have difficulty, you can pre-drill your holes if required.
Once you have installed the first panel of your pergola, lay out
the distance to the second side. This distance should equal the
measurement between the posts of the first panel. Continue to
install the second panel. Note: Constantly verify your
measurements as you go. It is important that each post is square
& in line with each another. The image shown is for assembly purposes only
and may not exactly resemble this product.
Take the remaining 6 filters and evenly space them out across the
top of the beams. You should measure out approx. 10 1/2”
between each filter. Make sure to leave at least 1” between the
outside filter and the post to allow the post cap to go on.
Run a bead of glue around the inside lip of the post cap (part 4),
and place onto the top of the post as shown. Repeat this for the
other 3 post caps.
