Can I add lighting or other accessories to the pergola?

Troubleshooting
Pergola components do not align correctly.
Ensure you are using the correct pre-notched pieces for posts, runners, and rafters. Double-check that the posts are oriented correctly and that no debris is obstructing the notches.
Footings feel unstable after installation.
Verify that the ground is level and compacted. Ensure the correct drill bit was used to create the locating hole in the post, and that the post is seated firmly onto the footing before tightening.
Fixings appear to be loosening over time.
Gently retighten all corrosion-treated fixings. Avoid overtightening, which could damage the wood. Inspect fixings for any signs of corrosion or wear.
Difficulty drilling into the post for footing alignment.
Use a slow, steady speed with the provided flat drill bit, ensuring it remains centered. If the wood is particularly dense, a pilot hole with a smaller bit may help guide the larger bit.
