Assembly Instructions

Before you commence the assembly process, we recommend that you read these instructions

thoroughly beforehand to familiarise yourself with the assembly process and to also check that you have

the correct components. If for any reason you need assistance, you can find our contact details on the

final page of these instructions.

We strongly recommend that any assembly is carried out on an open flat, level surface if possible and

with sufficient space. You will also require the assistance of at least 2 adults to complete assembly

safely.

If for any reason you don’t feel confident in completing this project, we would recommend consulting a

qualified professional to undertake the work.

Step 1

Step 2

Before commencing assembly take a moment to

familiarise yourself with the post arrangement along each

runner. The end of the runner with the intermediate slot

will house the two battened posts (battens facing each

other). Note also how the batten extends to the floor and

how the battens are furthest from the outer face of the

runner.

Begin by laying one the posts down on a flat, level surface

and then placing one of the runners with its batten side

down and orientated toward the length of the post, on

top of it…

Step 3

Step 4

...with the batten butted up against the post and the top

of the post flush with the top edge of the runner. Now fix

into place using 2 of the 70mm coachscrews.

Add another post to the other end of the runner in the

same manner. Repeat this process for the remaining posts

and runner.

Step 5

Step 6

Using your assistants, manoeuvre the previously

assembled runner/post assemblies into place, positioning

them opposite each other, approximately the length of a

rafter apart. Now place one the outer rafters, the batten

toward the bottom of the rafter and on the inner face,

across the top of the posts as shown.

Now secure into place with 2 x 70mm coachscrews into

each post.

Step 7

Step 8

Fix the second outer rafter into place in the same way as

before.

Now drop the rafters into place using the markings on the

runner’s battens to align them. The two outer rafters

should have their battens facing the adjacent outer rafter

and the centre rafter(s) will have no batten.

Step 9

Step 10

Fix each rafter into place with a 120mm coachscrew driven

down through each end as shown.

Locate the intermediate post against the runner and inner

rafter and secure into place with 2 of the 70mm

coachscrews through the runner as you did with the

previous posts. Repeat for the remaining post.

Step 11

Step 12

Starting from the top of the battened posts, align a short

lattice strip so that it is parallel with the underside of the

runner. Fix into place against the battens with a 50mm screw

at each end.

Using the spacer bar, with the wider face against the batten

and butted up against the lower faced of the top lattice strip,

slide the next lattice strip up against the spacer bar and fix

into place against the battens with a 50mm screw at each

end. Repeat this process working you way down to create

the lattice…

Step 13

Step 14

…as you approach the last 5 battens you can either continue

using the spacer or alternatively space these by eye so that

the final lattice strip finishes at ground level. Repeat Steps

11 - 13 on the other side of the pergola.

Use the same principle as outlined in steps 12-13 to create

the roof lattices.
