FAQs
What is the main advantage of the slotted joint system?
The slotted joint system (halved joints) significantly improves the structural strength, stability, and aesthetic finish of the pergola while making the assembly process more straightforward.
Do I need to buy feet for the pergola posts separately?
Yes, bolt-down or spiked feet are optional add-ons and are not included as standard. You will need to purchase these separately if required for your installation.
Can I change the height of the pergola posts?
Yes, you can cut the posts to your desired length. There is also an option to change the standard post height from 2.7m to 3m, which may involve contacting customer service.
What type of wood is used for the pergola?
The pergola is constructed from high-quality, pressure-treated Northern European Redwood, known for its durability and resistance to rot and insect attack.
How do I prepare the posts for feet installation?
After cutting the posts to size, use the provided flat drill bit to drill a hole into the center of the bottom of each post. This hole helps locate the post onto the bolt-down or spiked foot.
Can I customize the size of the pergola?
Yes, custom sizes are available. Please contact Rutland County Garden Furniture via phone or live chat to discuss your specific requirements.
What are the dimensions of the pergola?
The standard dimensions of this corner pergola are Length 360 cm x Width 360 cm.
Troubleshooting
Pergola feels unstable after assembly
Double-check that all slotted joints are fully engaged and all fixings are securely tightened. Ensure the posts are firmly anchored into the ground or attached to their feet.
Difficulty aligning slotted joints
Ensure you are using the correct parts for rafters and runners as per the instructions. Sometimes slight adjustments or having a second person to help can make alignment easier.
Drill bit not suitable for post base
Confirm you are using the provided flat drill bit and that it is centered correctly on the base of the post. Ensure the post is securely held while drilling.
Timber shows signs of weathering after a season
Consider applying a coat of exterior wood stain or oil suitable for pressure-treated timber to protect the wood and restore its appearance. Ensure adequate drainage around the posts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Assembly is designed to be straightforward, requiring minimal tools. The key to a stable setup lies in the slotted joint system for the rafters and runners. Ensure all components are aligned correctly before securing. For installation, the pergola posts (95mm x 95mm) can be cut to your desired length. A crucial step for secure mounting is to use the provided flat drill bit to drill a hole into the center of the bottom of each post. This hole is essential for locating the post accurately onto either bolt-down or spiked feet (sold separately).
Compatibility:
This pergola is compatible with a range of optional add-ons, including different types of post feet (Galvanised Steel Socket Design Bolt Down Foot, Galvanised Steel Socket Design Spike Foot, Galvanised Steel Bolt Down Foot, Galvanised Steel Spike Foot) and decorative cladding/pedestal panels. It also offers custom size options and adjustments to post height (e.g., changing from 2.7m to 3m). Ensure you have adequate ground space (360 x 360 cm) for the standard dimensions.
Care:
As the pergola is constructed from pressure-treated timber, it offers good resistance to rot and insect attack. To maintain its appearance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the timber with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Staining/Oiling (Optional): While pressure-treated, you can apply a suitable exterior wood stain or oil to further protect the timber and refresh its colour, especially if the green hue fades over time.
- Inspection: Regularly check all fixings and joints for tightness and integrity. Address any signs of wear or damage promptly.
- Ground Contact: Ensure the base of the posts does not remain in constant contact with standing water to prevent premature decay. Proper use of post feet is recommended.
