also require the assistance of at least 2 adults to complete assembly safely.

Please note: For a free-standing pergola you can remove up to 600mm from the bottom of each post prior to commencing construction.

Step 1

Step 2

Begin by placing two of the posts on a flat surface as

shown and then placing one of the runners, countersinks

uppermost, on top of the posts.

Aligned the top of the post with the lines marked on the top

face of the runner and ensure it is also flush with the top

edge of the runner and perpendicular to it.

Step 3

Step 4

Now insert a 70mm coachscrew into one of the holes in

the runner and drive it into the post using a socket and

ratchet or driver until almost fully home.

Position one of the braces against the side of the post as

shown with the bolt countersink adjacent to the post. Check

that the top edge of the brace is flush with the top edge of

the runner and that the lower face is flat against the post. If

necessary alter the position of the post to achieve this by

pivoting it on the bolt inserted in the previous step.

Step 5

Step 6

Once the brace is in position insert 2 x 70mm coachscrews

and fix it to the post by driving them fully home with the

socket.

Now secure the other end of the brace to the runner with

2 x 65mm woodscrews.

Step 7

Step 8

Insert a second 70mm coachscrew into the hole in the

runner and drive both coachscrews fully home. Repeat the

previous steps and attach the second post to the runner.

Step 9

Step 10

Place the next runner as you did before carefully aligning it

before attaching to the post and brace as before.

Repeat steps 1 - 9 so that you now have two frame

assemblies. Arrange them both near to the pergola's

intended final location, as shown above, spacing the posts

apart by the approximate distance between the outer

rafter notches. Important: Again ensure that the star

markings are all at the same end of the assembly.

Step 11

Step 12

Now take one of the pre-drilled rafters and lower it onto

the 2 frame assemblies so that the notches in the rafters

and runners interlock and fully house. Tip: You may need

to adjust the positioning of the frames in relation to each

other to get everything square and true for this and the

following stage.

Drop a second pre-drilled rafter into place at the other end

of the assembly.
