  Site preparation, unpacking, and platform construction

 

(Materials NOT supplied with Pergola Kit)

 

 Note: Site preparation and platform construction and Support Post Installation steps may require professional  
assistance to be installed correctly.

Please read all manual steps thoroughly before starting this project.

 Note: Site preparation and platform construction are required for this pergola. Placing the pergola on the ground 
without any type of foundation is not recommended. Suncast is not responsible for replacing parts damaged or  
property lost due to construction without a foundation or platform.

Complete the site preparation and platform construction before unpacking parts.

To prepare your pergola site, follow these steps:

1)  Consult your local authorities and neighborhood association for building codes and covenants before  

beginning foundation or erecting pergola.

2)  Consult your local building supply retailer to assist you in determining the best foundation or platform  

method for your application. The building supply retailer can also help you determine what anchoring  
hardware you will need once the foundation or platform method has been determined. Bring this manual  
with you to the retailer so they can see the scope of the project.

3) Before any digging, check with local utilities to determine location of buried cables, pipes, etc.

4) 

A four inch thick concrete slab or concrete piers are recommended as the foundation.

  - If a wood platform is chosen as the foundation, use exterior grade wood. 

Note:

 

Do Not erect pergola on paver bricks. Foundation must be a solid surface.

 If you plan to erect the pergola on an existing deck, consult local authorities for building codes and make sure 
that the structure is sound and can hold the additional weight of the pergola (see chart below). Consult local 
building supply retailer to determine the best method and hardware for your application.

5) Preparing the building site:

  - The ground should slope away from the foundation area to provide drainage.
  - The foundation surface must be flat and level.
  - Follow local building codes for a proper vapor barrier.

For installation on concrete pillars:

Using the chart provided on Page 8, mark the location of the center of each post. Prepare a hole that is 16  
inches in diameter, adjusting the depth as needed for the area of the country that you are in. For example,  
because of frost issues, the northern part of the US requires a deeper hole than the southern part. Make sure 
that the finished height of the concrete is exactly the same for all of the post foundations.
