Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward with minimal tools. The corner posts, side runners, and rafters feature pre-cut notches that aid in alignment and ensure strong joints. After cutting posts to your desired length, use the provided flat drill bit to create a central hole at the bottom of each post. This hole is crucial for locating the post onto purchased bolt-down or spiked feet.
Compatibility: This pergola is compatible with a range of optional add-ons, including different post heights, 5-degree slope modifications, cladding/pedestal panels, and various types of galvanized steel feet (bolt-down and spiked). The choice of footing will determine compatibility with different ground surfaces. Please contact customer service for specific compatibility inquiries regarding optional extras.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the redwood, it is recommended to clean the pergola periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. While the timber is pressure-treated, regular inspection for any signs of wear or damage is advisable. Reapplying a suitable wood treatment annually can further protect the timber and extend its lifespan.
