Introduction
Thank you for your purchase from The Outdoor GreatRoom Company. This pergola has been engineered and manufactured in the USA.
This user manual will help make the installation and setup of your new pergola fast and easy. Outdoor GreatRoom company recommends

This pergola is made of premium grade kiln dried Douglas Fir. Douglas Fir, if maintained properly, will last a very long time, similar to life
of both Cedar and Redwood. All nished pieces have been stained via submersion to ensure even penetration. 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.
IMPORTANT
• Anchoring Required-Contact your local authority for details.
• Read instructions prior to assembly.
• Assistance is required and we recommend at least 2 people
for installation.
