Installation Steps
1. Remove pieces from the crate and lay out where you would like to install the pergola.
2. Lay one beam on the ground and lay the posts inside the marks that say “post” on top of the
beam.
3. Lay the other beam on top of the posts creating a sandwich with the two beams on the outside
and the posts in the middle.
4. Insert the four 1/2” bolts with a washer on each through the predrilled holes that go through the
beams and posts.
5. Now flip the assembly over by lifting the end of the posts up and over while the beam stays on
the ground.
6. Put another washer and a nut on each of the bolts.
7. Now you are ready to dig your holes. With the assembly laying on the ground, line up the
bottom of the posts where you would like the pergola to stand.
8. Dig at least 2’ deep holes directly at the bottom of the posts with a post-hole digger.
9. Stand the assembly up and let the posts slide down into the holes.
10. Have your partner hold each post plumb while you pour a bag of concrete in to each hole. Do
not water in yet.
11. Make sure the beam is level from post to post. If not, raise the lower side up to the level of the
high side and let the dry concrete fill in under the post a bit.

12. Once you have everything plumb and level, you can water in the concrete. You may want to
chop the water in with a stick or a shovel to get rid of any air bubbles. Make sure while you do
this the posts are held plumb.
13. Allow the concrete to fully dry overnight and install the rafters by screwing through the
predrilled holes in the beam.
