FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the pergola?
The standard dimensions are Length 420 cm x Width 420 cm. Custom sizes may be available upon request.
What is included in the standard purchase?
The standard purchase includes the pergola frame components (slotted rafters and runners), corner posts, decorative braces, decorative post pedestal panels, corrosion-treated fixings, and one flat drill bit for post preparation.
Do I need special tools for assembly?
Assembly requires minimal tools. A rubber mallet and basic tools for tightening fixings are typically sufficient. The included drill bit is for post preparation if using optional feet.
Are the optional feet included?
No, optional add-on feet (bolt-down or spike) are sold separately. The included drill bit is for preparing the posts if you choose to use these optional feet.
How should I maintain the pergola?
The pressure-treated wood should be maintained annually with a suitable wood stain or preservative to protect it from the elements and maintain its appearance.
Can I change the height of the corner posts?
Yes, the corner posts can be trimmed to your desired length. An optional add-on is available to change the standard post height from 2.7m to 3m before trimming, if needed.
How is the slotted joint construction beneficial?
The slotted joint construction improves the strength, stability, and aesthetic finish of the pergola by creating a more secure and interlocking connection between the rafters and runners, simplifying assembly.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty aligning slotted joints
Ensure no debris is obstructing the slots. Gently tap components into place with a rubber mallet if needed. Check that posts are vertical and square.
Pergola feels unstable
Verify all fixings are tightened securely. Ensure the ground base is level and firm. If using optional feet, confirm they are correctly installed and anchored.
Wood showing signs of weathering
Reapply wood stain or preservative. Ensure adequate drainage around the base of the posts.
Pre-drilled holes for feet do not align
Use the provided drill bit to re-drill the hole in the correct position on the post after checking alignment with the foot.
