Setting the Posts
7.) Attach all the posts to the bracket using (5)
2 ½” screws per bracket.
NOTE: When installing posts, notice that they
have notches on top (this is to set the beams
on). When installing please be sure that the
notches all run in the same direction - along
the long side where the beams will set in the
next section. Make sure the notch is turned
toward the inside of the pergola.
Post Bases
8.) Now you are ready to install the Post
Bases, trim rings, and center rings. Get a
ladder and slide the base over the top of the
post (see above). There are (6) screws per
base, it does not really matter which way
they are turned. We recommend keeping
the screws all turned in the same direction.
Please continue this step until all the posts are
completed. Make sure the post bases go on
first. Second will be the center ring, and third will
be the trim ring. For now you can let everything
slide down and rest on top of the base.
TIP: you can also use your template and secure
around the top of the posts to keep all the posts
positioned correctly, as shown below.
