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 9) 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.
Begin by placing two of the straight posts on a flat surface
as shown and then placing one of the runners,
countersinks uppermost, on top of the posts.
IMPORTANT NOTE - on the top face of the runner you will
find one end marked with a star - these should always be
placed at the same end of the assembly.
Step 3
Step 4
Align the top of the post with the lines marked on the top
face of the runner and ensure it is also flush with the top
edge of the runner and perpendicular to it.
Now insert a 70mm coachscrew into one of the holes in
the runner and drive it into the post using a socket and
ratchet or driver until almost fully home.

Step 6
Position one of the braces against the side of the post as
shown with the bolt countersink adjacent to the post.
Check that the top edge of the brace is flush with the top
edge of the runner and that the lower face is flat against
the post. If necessary, alter the position of the post to
achieve this by pivoting it on the bolt inserted in the
previous step.
Once the brace is in position insert a 100mm coachscrew
and fix it to the post by driving fully home with the socket.
Step 7
Step 8
Now secure the other end of the brace to the runner with
2 x 70mm woodscrews.
Insert a second 70mm coachscrew into the hole in the
runner and drive both coachscrews fully home. Repeat
the previous steps and attach the second post to the
runner.

Step 10
Take the completed assembly and turn it over to commence
fitment of the second runner.
IMPORTANT NOTE - on the top face of the runner you will
find one end marked with a star - these should always be
placed at the same end of the assembly.
Place the next runner as you did before, carefully
aligning it before attaching to the post and brace as
before.
Step 11
Step 12
Using your assistants, lift the frame assembly into the
vertical position, aligned with the runner and approximately
the length of a rafter from the wall.
Now lift the first pre-drilled rafter into place, slotting it
into the outermost section of the runner assembly (if
the joint is tight use a mallet or hammer with wood
block to gently tap the rafter into place)…

Fix the remaining braces in place to the corner posts by
sliding the brace up between the timbers and fixing each
one in place with a 70mm coachscrew at the bottom and
2 x 70 woodscrews at the top.
If you are building a 3-post version take the intermediate
post and manoeuvre it into position by sliding it between
the runners as shown…

SPLIT RUNNER/WALL PLATE VERSION
Step 23
Step 24
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 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.
Begin by placing a straight post and a centre post on a
flat surface as shown and then placing one of the
runners, countersinks uppermost, on top of the posts.
Step 25
Step 26
At this point ensure that the post is aligned between the
notches, flush with the top edge of the runner and
perpendicular to it. Drive in two 70mm coachscrews but
don’t fully tighten just yet.
Position the other notched end of the runner so that the
notch is butted up against the underside of the runner block
and the tip is half way across the face of the post with the
runner is at 90°, perpendicular to the post, before securing
in place with a single 70mm coachscrew in the hole nearest
to the runner block. Again, do not fully tighten just yet.

Step 27
Step 28
Position one of the braces against the side of the post as
shown with the bolt countersink adjacent to the post. Check
that the top edge of the brace is flush with the top edge of
the runner and that the lower face is flat against the post. If
necessary, alter the position of the post to achieve this by
pivoting it on the bolt(s) inserted in the previous step(s).
Secure in place with a 70mm coachscrew into the post and 2
x 75mm woodscrews into the brace through the runner.
Add a brace to the other end of the structure and adjust as
necessary as in the previous step before fixing in place as
before. Add a second 70mm coachscrew into the runner end
and fully tighten down along with the other fixing
coachscrew.
Step 29
Step 30
Carefully turn the assembly over and add another runner,
parallel to the first using 4 more 70mm coachscrews and
75mm woodscrews.
Now using the remaining runners, posts and braces,
construct 2 single post, partial “Goalposts” using the same
methods outlined in Steps 24-29.
