Note:
Prior anchoring you should check installation correctness of the support structure by checking the
diagonals between the posts and whole support structure and correct structure setting if necessary.
Assembled supporting structure should be permanently fixed to the substrate in destination location by
anchoring the feet, using anchors ensuring stable fixing. Anchoring should be selected by the licensed
designer every time. We recommend using screws/anchors of 12 mm diameter for fixing the footing to the
substrate.

4.6.1 INSTALLATION OF THE STANDARD FEET
1. Install all feet to the appropriate post types.
Screw on both sides with conical screws with
M8x20 Allen socket (fig. 9).
2. For feet with outflow set up the cutouts in the
bottom of the sheet and the mouse hole
accordingly for the drainage of water in the
post and the foot.
Figure 9
4.6.2 INSTALLATION OF ADJUSTABLE FEET
1. Assembly is possible only for posts with
adapted drilling (with an additional third hole
at the bottom edge of the post)- fig. 10 left.
Place all feet in the appropriate post types
(according to the order form).
2. On the wider side of the post insert M8x20
conical screws with an Allen socket from the
outside into the two holes located above.
From the inside of the post they should be
screwed into a common pressure stainless
steel flat bar. Leave room for insertion of the
foot into the bone (fig. 10-right). Repeat this
action on the opposite wall of the post.
Figure 10
3. Slide the post profile with the pressure flat
bars onto the bone so that the fastening
screws enter the slots in the bone and the
pressure flat bars slide from the inside of the
bone (fig. 11-left). The extension adjustment
range allows you to obtain a gap between the
bottom of the post profile and the top of the
sheet in the range of 0 to 50 mm (fig. 11-right).
4. Slide the post onto the bone while respecting
the allowable range of the gap and tighten
with torque of 17 Nm.
Figure 11
5. We recommend that the final stabilization of
the foot extension be performed after the
frame is fully assembled and the verticality of
the posts, the levelling of the beams and the
compliance of the diagonals are checked. For
the location next to the wall, make the target
drilling before moving it to the wall.
6. After determining the selected extension and
tightening the M8 screws, and completing the
assembly of the frame, drill through the bone
with a fi 10.5 drill through the bottom hole of
the post
7. Fit M8 sleeve nuts with M8 threaded stud on
both sides and tighten with a torque of 17 Nm
(fig. 12).

4.6.3 INSTALLATION OF THE FRAME
NOTE: Elements of the load-bearing structure during assembly should be secured against tipping over or falling
onto the persons performing the assembly. The assembled supporting structure (frame) should be placed in the
right place and anchored to the ground with a suitable fastening product. Suggested size of the anchors is M12.
The purchase and selection of elements for anchoring the structure is the responsibility of the buyer of the system.
Figure 13
In accessories, 1 piece of gasket for sealing blade is rolled up in a string bag.
Before assembling the frame, slide into the groove of the sealing blade of one crossbeam, where it is fixed as “U”
(gutter)- fig. 13. For the second crossbeam, the gasket is not used.
NOTE: In case of visible uneveness of the beam and post edges (fig. 12a) it can
be corrected by:
- checking if the diagonals of pergola are identical and, if needed, correcting
the position of the base of the foot
- remove the beam from the socket/bone, loosen M8 screws securing the
socket/bone in the post and use a hammer to move the protruding end of
the socket in the correct direction. Tighten the socket again.
Complete or make a new seal around the perimeter of the beam. Place the
beam so that its plane is aligned with the post.
