Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Assembly: Follow the detailed assembly instructions provided. Ensure all components are present before you begin. It's recommended to have two people for easier assembly.
- Surface: Place the pergola on a level surface. Consider the need for ground fixings depending on the surface (e.g., soil, concrete, decking).
- Fixings: Use the provided fixings to secure the pergola components according to the instructions.
Compatibility:
The Shire Ivy Pergola is compatible with most outdoor spaces. It's suitable for various surfaces, although appropriate ground fixings are needed for soft ground. Consider the pergola's dimensions (2.4m x 2.4m footprint) when choosing a location.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the pergola with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the structure for any loose fixings or signs of wear and tear. Tighten fixings as needed.
- Treatment: The pressure-treated pine is designed to resist rot, but you can apply a wood preserver every few years to extend its lifespan if desired.
