Installation Instructions
•
Step 1 - Remove all the pieces from the packaging.
•
Step 2 - Lay out all the parts next to where you will be installing the pergola.
•
Step 3 - With yourself on one side, and your helper on the other, pick up one
of the rafters that will be going parallel to the wall and hold it against the wall
exactly where you would like the pergola to be.
•
Step 4 - Place your level on top of it to make sure that the rafter is level.
•
Step 5 - Holding the rafter level, trace the notches in the bottom of the rafter
on the wall with your pencil. This will mark where to connect the beams that
will be perpendicular to the wall.
•
Step 6 – Position each beam assembly so it is aligned inside the pencil marks
and level. Holding the beam assembly steady, mark the wall with pencil
through the pre-drilled holes in the beam assembly.
Note – For wood frame walls you may need to adjust the position of the
beam assembly to align with studs or the mounting plate above a window
or door. If beam assembly cannot be properly aligned to existing wood
structure, then you may need to secure the beam assembly using toggle
bolts rather than the lag bolts or concrete anchors provided.
•
Step 7 – Predrill the location where you will be attaching the beam assembly
to the wall using the appropriate size drill bit depending upon attachment
hardware being used.
Note – You will need a 1/4” drill bit if using the provided lags for a wood
frame attachment, or a 5/8” concrete drill bit if using the anchors
provided for a masonry wall attachment. These can be found at most
home improvement centers.
•
Step 8 - Take one Beam Assembly and attach it to the wall through the pre-
drilled holes in the Beam Assembly mounting board using either the lag
bolts or anchors provided with your kit – lags for wood frame and anchors for
concrete walls or other hardware depending upon the demands of your
installation.

Step 9 - Repeat step 7 and 8 for the other side.
•
Step 10 - Install the 2 rafters on the x marks on the beams and screw them
down through the predrilled holes using the 6 inch screws provided.
•
Step 10 - Install the top slats on the marks on top of the rafters and screw
them down with the 3 inch screws provided. There will be 2 screws per top
slat provided. Insert one screw per rafter on each top slat.
Note: If installing a pressure treated pine kit, do not paint or stain until the wood
is dry.
