Drill Bit
If your posts are not located so you can attach them to
a floor joist, follow the below instructions.
Make a support block by cutting a generic treated board
(not included) into 6 pieces that are the same length as the
spacing inbetween the floor joists of your deck.
Fasten the 6 pieces together using 2 1/2" deck screws (not
included). You will need to make four blocks like this.
Fasten a support block inbetween the floor joists at the
location of each pergola post. Push the block up against the
deck boards and and attach it by driving 3 1/2" deck screws
(not included) through the sides of the floor joists and into
the support block.
Now attach your pavilion posts to the deck as
shown in the example above. The lags (type S)
should go through the deck boards and into
the support blocks.
Concrete Slab
If installing on a paver
patio, pavers should be
removed at each post location.
Dig holes 3 ft in depth or
recommended hole depth
your local building codes.
Fill holes with concrete to
createa solid footer for posts.
After concrete footers are
completely cured, attach
posts using the
same method
shown at the
top of this page.
Do not mount
posts directly onto
patio pavers.
