The assembly steps that follow are divided into 2 sections. The first section (Page 3) covers the assembly of a one
piece runner pergola, the second section (Page 7) a split runner/wall plate post pergola.
6 post pergolas 4.2 and 4.8M in length are one piece runner. All pergolas 5.4M in length and above are split
runner/wall plate.
IMPORTANT: The distance from ground level to the top edge of the wall plate must match the height of your post
tops above ground level –bear this in mind if you are shortening the posts or sinking them in.

ONE PIECE RUNNER VERSION
Step 1
Step 2
Work out where you wish to affix your wall plate, making
sure that the area directly in front of it is flat, level and
able to support the structure. Also check that the longer
edge is at the top. Attach the wall plate using suitable
fixings for the wall construction. Measure in 400mm from
each end and use sufficient fixings so that the minimum
distance between them is 500mm, distributed evenly and
vertically centred across the wall. Ensure it is horizontal
with a laser or spirit level.
Lay one of the runners on a flat, level surface and then,
using the end slots on the runner as a guide, slide the
Double slotted posts on to it as shown.
Step 3
Step 4
Make sure the post is correctly aligned and square to the
runner before securing into place with a 65mm
woodscrew. Repeat this process for the other end of the
runner.
Add the braces, butting their angled faces against the post
and underside of the runner and aligning it centrally
against the post before fixing into place with a 100mm
coachscrew through each end.

Work out where you wish to affix your wall plates, making
sure that the area directly in front of them is flat, level and
able to support the structure. Also check that the longer
edge is at the top. Attach the wall plates using suitable
fixings for the wall construction. Measure in 400mm from
