Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward with minimal tools. Ensure you have a clear, level area for installation. The halved joint system simplifies connecting the main components. After cutting the corner posts to your desired length, use the provided flat drill bit to drill a central hole at the base of each post. This hole is crucial for accurately positioning the posts onto compatible bolt-down or spiked feet (sold separately). Ensure all fixings are tightened securely.
Compatibility: This pergola is compatible with various post-fixing solutions, including bolt-down feet and spiked feet, available as optional add-ons. It can also be integrated with optional cladding or additional pedestal panels for further customization. Ensure any chosen feet are suitable for your ground type (e.g., concrete base for bolt-down, soil for spiked).
Care: The pergola is constructed from high-quality pressure-treated Northern European Redwood, which provides inherent protection against rot and insect attack. To maintain its appearance, periodic cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended. For extended protection and to preserve the 'Rustic Brown' colour, consider applying a suitable wood sealant or stain annually, especially after the first year of use. Inspect fixings periodically and retighten if necessary.
