 PERGOLA INSTRUCTIONS 

Shown – 12x14 Treated Pine 

Serenity

 Pergola with decorative posts (w/16” post base trim). 

Thank you for purchasing the 

Serenity

 Wood 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. 

Consider a few details before starting assembly: 

1.

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 top 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.

2.

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.

3.

The 

Serenity

 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.
