To ensure the optimal placement of the power plug
that supplies the pergola with electricity, it is
recommended that the following guidelines be taken
into consideration:
The motor will be mounted specifically on beam B-1
and B-3. Consequently, the most suitable location for
the plug would be the posts (A-1 and A-4) which are
nearest to the motor mounting point.

This kit includes base plate covers. While not a
mandatory component, the covers offer a neat
appearance once the pergola has been secured to its
foundation. If blinds are intended to be installed, base
plate covers must be installed.
To install, simply slide a post cover along all four
disassembled posts prior to attaching the base plates.
Post Covers
We recommend sealing all gutters with Silicone
sealant to ensure longevity and maximum water
protection.
