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.
Take the wall plate and place it horizontally using a
level (batten toward the bottom) on the wall where
you would like the pergola located. 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 242cm.
Step 3
Step 4
Lay the runner down (part with timber batten
attached) with the batten uppermost. Position one of
the posts as shown, so that it is butted against the
batten and the top face of the post is flush with the
top edge of the runner. Now fix the post in place
using 2 of the 100mm coach screws and repeat for
remaining post.
Using your assistants, position the frame assembly
(post side facing the wall) vertically as shown,
approximately a rafter's length from the wall.
