Thank you for purchasing the Classic Wood Freestanding Pergola. Depending on the
size of the pergola, installation can usually be completed in a day. These instructions
apply to both cedar and treated pine models.
There are a few things you should consider before installation:
1.) Do not store the Pergola components in direct contact with ground concrete, or
other moisture wicking surface as this may warp the components.
2.) The base for the pergola must be solid and level. If installing on a concrete slab
or on concrete footers, it should be level where the posts will rest. If not, it may be
necessary to cut the bottom of the posts so that the tops are all level. Other than this,
no cutting is necessary. If any additional cuts are needed, please contact us before
doing so. Making cuts without calling first may make installation difficult and
may void our warranties.
3.) These instructions show connection to asphalt using a wedge bolt. The same
method can be used with concrete. If connecting to an existing deck, a lag bolt and
deck screws (not included) will replace the wedge bolt.
4.) The Classic pergola does not give the ability to alter the location of the posts.
It is important they are laid out correctly and double checked for accuracy before
permanently attaching it to the base.
* If you purchased a Pergola with the Heavy Duty Post Brackets, refer to the additional
instruction sheet that will be included in your kit.
