Note:
The center post of the pergola trellis was designed to
rest on top of the ground. If additional support is required,
consider inserting a pressure treated 2x4 (cut to 3.25" wide)
into the bottom of the center post (up to10"). Secure it inside
the center post with screws (2x4 wood and screws purchased
separately).
The length of the modified 2x4 will vary, depending on one
the following:
• If the pergola trellis is being installed over ground, extend
the length of the modified 2x4 into the ground at least 18".
• If the pergola trellis is being installed over an accessible deck,
cut the modified 2x4 flush within the bottom of the center
post. Secure it to the deck with wood screws from underneath
the deck, through the deck boards, into the modified 2x4
(purchased separately).
• If the pergola trellis is being installed over a concrete patio,
consider securing the modified 2x4 to the concrete with a
galvanized steel "L" bracket (purchased separately).
Be sure to factor in the thickness of the "L" bracket when
modifying the 2x4 to fit inside the center post.
