Step 1

Begin by deciding where you will locate your pergola and then mark out on the ground where the centres of the

posts will fall. TIP: (you can find dimension drawings for your pergola on the relevant website product page to

help you work out these figures)

Step 1

For a wall-mounted pergola you will also need to calculate the distance from the wall to your post centres.

When complete, place your pergola feet in the positions previously calculated, so that the protruding lug is

central and the edges are parallel to where the rafters/runners will fall.

Step 4

Before erecting your pergola make sure you have

trimmed your posts to length if required then

prepare them for fitting to the feet by first

drawing two lines across diagonally opposite

corners, to find the centre…

…and then drilling a hole at least 60mm deep as

shown.

Step 6

As you build your pergola, simply locate the posts

over the feet lugs as shown before fixing them in

place as per the following guidelines.

To fix into concrete get the edges of the pergola foot

parallel with the post faces and adjust the positioning

if necessary to get your post fully vertical. Using a

10mm masonry bit, drill holes at least 90mm deep at

each corner.

sledgehammer, until the top plate is almost flush with

the ground ...
