Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward with minimal tools. The key steps involve joining the slotted rafters and runners to the posts. Ensure all fixings are tightened securely. If using bolt-down or spiked feet (optional extras), use the provided flat drill bit to drill a central hole into the base of each post to accurately locate it on the chosen fixing.
Compatibility: This pergola is compatible with various optional add-ons including different ground fixing types (bolt-down and spiked feet), cladding/pedestal panels per post, and adjustments to post height or pergola slope. Contact Rutland County Garden Furniture Ltd for details on these options.
Care: The pergola is made from high-quality pressure-treated Northern European Redwood. To maintain its appearance and longevity, periodically clean the timber with a soft brush and mild soap solution, rinsing with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Check fixings annually and tighten if necessary. Re-treatment with a suitable wood preserver may be beneficial every few years, depending on environmental conditions.
