Troubleshooting
Pergola feels unstable after assembly
Ensure all fixings are tightened securely. Check that the posts are firmly anchored into the ground or attached to their respective feet. Verify that the pergola is on level ground.
Difficulty aligning slotted joints
Ensure no debris is present in the slots. Gently tap components into place if needed, but avoid forcing. Check that all components are oriented correctly as per the assembly guide.
Wood shows signs of weathering or discoloration
While pressure-treated, wood can naturally weather over time. For aesthetic purposes, consider applying a suitable wood stain or sealant after the initial period, following product instructions.
Fixings appear corroded
The provided fixings are corrosion-treated. If significant corrosion is observed, contact customer support for advice or replacement options.

Cons
Post-fitting accessories (bolt-down or spiked feet) are optional extras and require separate purchase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpack all components and verify against the parts list.
Assemble the main frame using the provided fixings. The slotted joints should slot together before securing.
If using bolt-down or spiked feet (purchased separately), prepare the base of the corner posts. Cut posts to the desired length if necessary.
Use the supplied flat drill bit to drill a hole in the center of the bottom of each post. This hole will help locate the post onto the chosen foot.
Secure the posts to the chosen feet (bolt-down or spike) according to the foot manufacturer's instructions.
Position the pergola in its final location and ensure it is level and stable.
Compatibility:
This pergola is designed for use with specific post-fitting accessories such as bolt-down feet or spiked feet. These are available as optional extras and must be purchased separately. Various galvanised steel options are available.
Optional add-ons for customization, such as a 5-degree slope, additional cladding/pedestal panels, or different post lengths (e.g., 3m from 2.7m), can be arranged by contacting customer service via phone or live chat.
Care:
The timber is high-quality pressure-treated Northern European Redwood, designed for outdoor use. No immediate treatment is required.
Periodically inspect the structure for any signs of wear or damage.

Ensure the area around the base is kept clear to prevent moisture buildup and maintain air circulation.
