SECTION 3 - RUNNERS
1.
Set all the runners on top of the beams
and into the vinyl brackets.
2.
Position each runner with an equal
overhang as done with the beams.
Measure the overhang from the outside
edge of the beam to the decorative end
cap. Make sure that this dimension is
the same for all runners and on both
ends. (Note: the distance shown at the
right may not be the same as yours).
3.
On one side of the pergola, secure
the runners using 1 ½" white headed
screws through each side of the runner
brackets. Do this along one beam. (one
side of each runner) Before attaching
the other side, make sure the posts are
plumb and the overhangs are equal
to the other side. Fasten with 1 ½"
screws. Do this for each of the runners.
4.
The tops of the main runners are
marked for the location of the top
runners. Set the top runners on top,
and before attaching, make sure that
the overhangs are the same on both
ends. Start at one end making sure
that the top runners remain straight.
They are more flexible than the other
components. Use the markings, or
a straight edge to keep straight and
fasten with 2 ½" white headed screws.
