Introduction
Thank you for your purchase from The Outdoor GreatRoom Company® . This instruction manual will guide you step-by-step through the process of
assembling your Tuscany II-WB. The Outdoor GreatRoom Company® recommends visiting with your local authority for building codes, restrictions,
or requirements for this product. Please read through entire instruction manual before beginning installation.
This pergola is made of fire-killed ponderosa pine beams salvaged from the black forest in Colorado, with glass fiber-reinforced concrete columns.
Made in North America, your new pergola is designed to be sturdy, hassle-free , and requires minimal maintenance (see page 9 for full maintenance
information).
Important:
 Beams are a natural solid wood product. Some splitting of beams is to be expected. This occurs during drying and will not affect the
structural integrity of your pergola.
 Due to characteristics of natural wood, pockets in crossbeams may expand and contract due to humidity and temperature. Pockets
may need slight modification before assembly if a perfect fit can not be achieved.
 Anchoring Required—Contact your local authority for details (see page 9)
 Read all instructions prior to assembly
 Assistance is required and we recommend a MINIMUM of 2 people for installation
 If you have questions contact the place of purchase
Before beginning, make sure that all components listed on the next page are included with your hardware kit. Contact your dealer if any
parts are missing.

Assembly Instructions
Step 1: Step 2:
Set Columns (A) into position as shown. Do not
anchor to a surface until all beams have been
assembled and squared. See page 9 for
information regarding concrete anchoring method.
Place header beams (F) on top of columns in
the desired orientation and center and square
them parallel to each other and square with
the columns.

Step 4:
Step 3:
After beams (F) are centered and squared
(Columns should now match up with concrete
footing locations if applicable); set an L-bracket
(E) into place on the outside edge of the pergola
so brackets face away from each other and
mark the hole locations on the top of the column
with a pencil or marker.
Remove brackets and pre-drill holes in the
columns with a 5/16” masonry drill bit. Place a plastic
anchor into each hole, using a hammer or mallet to
gently tap them into place if needed.
Replace all brackets (E) and insert anchor screws (C)
into each hole, securing the brackets to the column,
then use the included wood screws to attach brackets
to the header beams (B) as shown.

Place the first two notched crossbeams (G) on top
of the header beams. Ensure assembly is squared
and the cross beams are centered over the col-
umn. If fit is snug, use a rubber mallet to tap
beams into place. (modifications to the notched
portion may be required, depending on humidity
and temperature as natural wood may expand or
contract depending on climate and weather)
Place a third notched crossbeam (G) centered between
the two outer beams. Then repeat this process for the
remaining two notched beams, centering them in
the remaining open space. Beams should be approxi-
mately 30 in. apart (measured from the center of each
beam) Fastening all beams to the top of the header
beams is recommended (P.7) , but not until after the as-
sembly is squared and in its final position.

Method B- Pre-drill holes at a 45° angle between cross beams and header beams and insert a coarse thread
wood deck screw (not included) into each side of the header beam to secure. Repeat for all intersection points.
Pre-drilled holes
Method A- Use an exterior grade construction adhesive to permanently secure
crossbeams to header beams at joints.
Beam Securing Options:
Securing Crossbeams (H) to header beams at intersection points is strongly
recommended. The following methods can be used to secure beams

Required Materials:
(X16) 3/8” concrete anchors. (Check with local building codes for
proper anchor length requirements)
Electric drill suitable for concrete use.
½ ” socket wrench or similar tool.
Silicone adhesive suitable for outdoor use.
1.Once appropriate positions have been located for all columns and
beams you will notice four (4) holes at the base of each
column positioned in the orientation shown on the previous page
2. Pre-drill all holes with a 3/8” bit suitable for concrete. Pre-drill
pavement with a 3/8” bit to a depth adequate for the selected
anchor bolt length.
3. As shown, (at right) insert concrete anchors (not supplied) into
holes and tighten sufficiently.
Note: Ensure that all columns are shimmed with a composite shim a
minimum of 1/8” from pavement to ensure possible water
exit.
Instructions for Anchoring Tuscany Pergola to Concrete
Once bolts are installed and secured tightly, apply a thin
ring of silicone adhesive to the shallow ridge around the
bolt hole. Place cap (D) in ridge and wipe away excess
silicone. Allow adequate time to dry before exposing to
rain or snow.
Maintenance: All finished pieces have been stained with an oil-based stain
(It is recommended that the pergola receive a clear, oil-based stain yearly to
maintain the color, minimize warping and prevent rotting.)
Every few years a colored oil based stain should be used to keep the original
color.
