Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward with minimal tools. Key steps involve cutting posts to size and using the provided flat drill bit to create a central hole for securing to bolt-down or spiked feet (sold separately or as add-ons). Ensure all components are correctly aligned before tightening fixings. A level and prepared base is crucial for stability.
Compatibility: This pergola is compatible with various Rutland County Garden Furniture Ltd optional add-ons, including different slope angles, cladding panels, extended post heights, and different types of post feet (galvanised steel socket design bolt down or spike feet). Standard garden ground preparation techniques apply.
Care: To maintain its appearance and longevity, regularly clean the wooden structure with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Periodically check fixings for tightness. While the wood is pressure-treated, occasional re-application of a suitable wood treatment or sealant can further protect it from the elements.
