ASSEMBLING FLOOR CORNER 2-WAY ELBOW BRACKETS
We have designed the corner elbow brackets to provide automatic squaring and alignment of the floating 6x6s. By following
the instructions properly and securing the 6x6s to the elbow brackets as instructed, you will achieve a perfectly squared
floating deck base for your pergola. All you have to do is determine the size you desire for the length and width of your
pergola.
We recommend a maximum header length of 12 feet for 2x6 headers and 16 feet for 2x8 headers. The recommended rafter
lengths are 12 feet for 2x6 rafters and 16 feet for 2x8 rafters. We further recommend that you allow for 18” of overhang
beyond the posts on each side for the headers and 18” overhang beyond the headers on each side for the rafters. Before
you start assembly, study the table, below, and determine the length of bottom 6x6s you will need.
