Step 1
Step 2
Check that you have the correct components as
shown in the package contents, including any fixings.
Your pergola can be shorter than standard by
removing the appropriate amount from the bottom
of each post. Remember to subtract the same
amount from the dimension shown in Step 2.
Work out where you wish to affix your wall plate,
ensuring that it is positioned so that the area directly
in front of it is flat, level and able to support the
structure. Mark the hole positions for your wall
fixings then drill and fix in place. Note: The distance
from the underside of the wall plate to the floor is
256cm.

Lay the two posts and the runner on the ground,

as shown...
...ensuring that the pre-drilled fixing hole in the post
is uppermost, the slots in the post and runner are
perfectly aligned and that the post is at a 90° angle to
the runner.
