ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
All Pavilions are completely erected in the shop prior to crating for shipping. All hardware is included. All parts are
fully sanded, routered, notched, drilled and numbered for ease of reassembly. The parts that go together have the
same numbers/letters written next to the predrilled holes they attach to.
All Pavilions 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 reassembly. Most pavilions 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.
Note: print the drawings that you approved before start the construction, they are needed to see the distances
between the posts.
Step 1.Attach the post to the ground. There are different ways to do it. Please see the How to anchor your
pergola document.
