1. Introduction
Read this installation manual carefully prior to installing the pergola structure. This structure has been
designed solely as protection from sun, rain, and wind, and cannot be considered water-tight.
Incorrect use or incorrect installation may result in the termination of the guarantee.
Anchoring materials must be selected with respect to the structure in which the pergola is to be attached. It
is necessary to consider various circumstances: texture and external insulation, rigidity, and surface
appearance.
2. LIST OF NECESSARY AND RECOMMENDED TOOLS
• Two ladders adjustable according to the pergola height, telescopic lifting appliance, mobile scaffold;
• Water level, tape measure, tool for measuring the wall’s right angle, flatness, and verticality, plumb line;
• Socket-wrench set with 30 cm extension (socket 5.5 mm), spanners, Allen keys, hammer drill, drill set,
angle g diamond-wheel for tiles;
• Flat-blade screwdriver, T15 Torx screwdriver, vacuum cleaner;
Suitable sealing compound (polymer/polyurethane caulk, silicone), compression tape, bolts with packing
rubber..
3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ground Mounting – Variant A
It is expected that for this variant, at least concrete feet have been prepared in advance, or a flat surface is
available to which the pergola is to be installed. The recommended minimum foot dimensions are
300
× 300 mm, frostproof depth.
A.1 First determine plane A1 – A3 (C1 – C3) and feet placement positions.
If water outflow is located under the pole, start with this plane! The diagonal for the placement of the
remaining poles will be aligned to this plane. We recommend using a laser device or other technology
for the alignment. After aligning, place the feet to the ground and mark out their anchoring holes. Use
a suitable anchoring system to fasten the feet (e.g. threaded rod, chemical anchor)
– we recommend
stainless threaded rods. Do not tighten the nuts on the threaded rods. The recommended total height
of the threaded rods is 150 mm, thereof 30 mm above the anchoring plane.
If you want to have the anchoring prepared in advance, you can use a drill template for the feet
openings following the pergola placement measurements (see the last page of the manual, in full
scale). We recommend checking the template dimensions (110 mm), due to different print formats.
A.2 Insert the pole cover section and slide pole A1 to foot A1. Pay attention to placing the right pole to the
right place. If the motor supply cable passes through the pole, run it through a dedicated opening, see
the anchoring template. If the pole serves for water draining, insert the funnel and the plastic tube
