Setting up the template:
1. Your pergola kit includes a wooden template that is used to
mark your post locations. Notice that two of the 2x4 boards
have a marking near the ends. Build a box that will reveal the
outside corners of the posts when properly placed.
2. Arrange the template pieces so that they are positioned in
the exact location of where the pergola will be placed. The
boards with the marking on the end will be across from each
other. The marks will show where the other boards will be
attached to create this box.
3. Connect the corners of the template pieces by driving two 2
½" screws through the side of the template boards.

4. When the template is in position, square the template. Do
this by measuring diagonally from one corner to its opposite
corner, then measure diagonally between the other two
corners. These two dimensions MUST be the same. Adjust the
template until the diagonal measurements are identical.
