FAQs

What are the main benefits of the 'Premium' model?

The Premium model features enhanced stability through slotted rafters and runners for a halved joint, includes decorative sculpted braces and pedestal panels for a more premium look, and uses wider than standard timber for its braces.

Is assembly difficult?

Assembly is designed to be straightforward with the minimum of tools required. The slotted joint system simplifies the process.

What are the dimensions of the pergola?

The dimensions are Length 240 cm x Width 600 cm x Height 270 cm.

Does it come with feet for securing it to the ground?

No, feet (bolt down or spiked) are optional add-ons and need to be purchased separately. The product does include a drill bit to help prepare posts for these feet.

What type of wood is used and is it treated?

The pergola is constructed from high-quality, pressure-treated Northern European Redwood, which provides resistance against rot and decay.

Can I change the height of the posts?

Yes, an optional add-on is available to change the pergola post height from the standard 2.7m to 3m.

How do I attach the posts to the ground?

You will need to purchase compatible feet (bolt down or spiked) separately. After cutting your posts to the desired length, use the included flat drill bit to drill a hole in the center of the bottom of the post to locate it onto the chosen foot.

Troubleshooting

Assembly is difficult or parts do not align.

Ensure you are following the instructions carefully and that all components are correctly identified. Double-check that the posts are cut to the desired and equal lengths, and that the pre-drilled hole for feet is centered. Ensure the ground where the posts will be secured is level.

Pergola feels unstable after assembly.

Verify that all fixings are securely tightened. Ensure the posts are firmly anchored to the ground, either through a suitable foundation or by using compatible bolt-down or spiked feet (sold separately). Check that the slotted joints are fully engaged.

Wood shows signs of weathering or discoloration.

This is a natural process for timber exposed to the elements. The pressure treatment protects against rot. If the appearance is a concern, consider applying a suitable wood preservative or stain, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Assembly is designed to be straightforward, requiring a minimum of tools. Ensure you have a level area for installation. After cutting the posts to your desired length, use the provided flat drill bit to create a locating hole in the center of the bottom of each post. This hole is crucial for correctly aligning the posts with any purchased bolt-down or spiked feet.

  • 5 Degree Slope to Pergola
  • Cladding/Pedestal Panels Per Post
  • Extended post height (3m from 2.7m)

  • Galvanised Steel Socket Design Spike Foot / Post Holder
  • Galvanised Steel Bolt Down Foot / Post Holder
  • Galvanised Steel Spike Foot / Post Holder

*Note: Feet and other add-ons are not included with the standard purchase.*

Care:

As the timber is pressure-treated, it offers inherent protection against rot and decay. For continued longevity and to maintain its appearance, periodic cleaning with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals. Inspect fixings annually and tighten if necessary. Over time, the wood may naturally weather; preserving treatments can be applied if a specific colour finish is desired.
