SITE PREPARATION
Excavate a 300mm square hole
(approx) for each post to a depth
of at least 300mm. (see
Fig.A
)
We would recommend that you
use
MetCrete
, fast set post fixing
concrete to fix your posts. Easy
to use, it sets in just 10 minutes.
1. Begin with the roof assembly.
2. Mark off five points along the length of each
of the curved beams where the rafters will be
fitted (see
Fig.1
). It is recommended that the
centre is marked first (
1
) and the other points
measured from it.
3. Fix the rafters to the curved
beams using screws (
w
)
from the topside of the
rafters into the curved
beams.
4. Use the Trellis Sections
(
C
) to mark where the
‘L’ Clips (
z
) need to be
fitted to the posts.
The ‘L’ Clips should be
positioned so that they
fit into the corners of
the trellis. The top clips
should be 100mm below
the shoulder at the top
of the post (see
Fig.2
).

5. Fit the trellis to the
metal brackets using
screws (
y
).
NB. Check the posts
are the correct way
around so that they fit
inside the roof curved
beams (see
Fig.3
).
6. Fit the roof assembly
onto the posts of the
side assemblies and fix
at the desired position
with screws (
x
).
Make sure the overhang
at each end is the same.
