Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The pergola is designed for ease of assembly with minimal tools. Key steps involve assembling the main frame using the provided notched posts and runners. For installation, optional bolt-down or spiked feet (purchased separately) are recommended for securing the posts to the ground. A flat drill bit is supplied to help prepare the posts for these feet. Ensure the chosen location is level and clear.
Compatibility: This pergola is compatible with various optional add-ons offered by Rutland County Garden Furniture Ltd, including different post heights, 5-degree slope adjustments, and various galvanised steel foot/post holder designs (bolt down and spike). These options allow for customization to specific site requirements and aesthetic preferences.
Care: The pergola is constructed from high-quality pressure-treated Northern European Redwood, which offers natural resistance to rot and decay. To maintain its appearance and prolong its lifespan, it is recommended to clean the wood periodically with a mild soap and water solution. Applying a suitable wood sealant or stain annually can further protect the timber from UV rays and moisture, especially if left untreated after initial installation.
