Now you would be ready to install the
return beams. These go in between the
header. Keep it flush on bottom of 2x8
header center of post. Attach it with 4
3½" screws.
Section 6 - Setting Runners
22.
Use a level to insure that the posts are
parallel with the other posts. Check
that one of the posts is plumb.
Measure the distance between the
posts at the bottom, by sliding the
post base up and measuring the
distance at the bottom of the post. Be
sure that the posts are the same
distance apart near the top. Double
check all posts with the level before
attaching runners.
23.
A helper may be needed to hold
the posts in place when positioning
the first runner. Make sure that the
overhang is the same on both ends of
the runner. Measure from the beam
to the end of the runner, or to the
beginning of the scroll cut on both
sides. (as shown to the right) Slide the
runner until the overhang is the
same on both ends.
24.
Attach one side using a screw on an
angle as shown. Attach each runner
to both beams on each side.

25.
Check the other side of the runner.
Be sure that the posts are plumb and
the overhang is the same. Attach with
another screw. Repeat this on the
opposite end of the pergola, making
sure that the overhangs are the same as
with the first runner. Set the remaining
runners in place and attach each of
the runners to the front beam, while
measuring each overhang. Repeat on
the opposite beam. Be sure to check
the overhangs on the back beam.
Section 7 - Setting Top Runners
26.
Notice that there are marks on top of
the main runners where the top
runners are to be attached. These
markings are about 16" on center, or
another dimension if the pergola was
ordered with additional top runners.
There are also markings and pre
drilled holes on each of the 2x2
runners.
27.
Set the top markings on the centers of
the runners, attach with 2½" screws.
Check that the overhangs are the same
on both sides of the top runners.
On longer pergolas, the top runners will be in two pieces. They are cut so that when properly
positioned the overhangs will be the same. You will want to position all the runners so that
they are correctly positioned before attaching them.
Section 8 - Corner Braces
28.
There will be 8 corner braces. 4 of them
will be larger. These will go up in
between the 2x8 headers. The smaller
ones will go right underneath the return
beams.
17.) Attach one side using a screw on an
angle as shown. Attach each rafter
with (4) 3½” screws, (2) per side. Continue
with the rest of the rafters.
Setting Top Runners
18.) Notice that there are marks on top of
the main runners where the top runners are
to be attached. These markings are about 16”
on center, or another dimension if the pergola
was ordered with additional top runners. There
are also markings on each of the 2’x2’ runners.
