FAQs
What tools are required for assembly?
Assembly requires the minimum of tools. While specific tools are not listed, typically a screwdriver or wrench set compatible with the heavy-duty fixings would be needed.
Are the post feet included?
No, post feet (bolt-down or spiked) are optional add-ons and must be purchased separately. A flat drill bit for post preparation is included.
Can I change the height of the posts?
Yes, you can request a change of pergola post to 3m from the standard 2.7m as an optional add-on. You may also be able to cut the posts to a desired length, but ensure this is done accurately and symmetrically.
What is the material of the pergola?
The pergola is constructed from high-quality, pressure-treated Northern European Redwood.
How is the strength of the pergola improved?
The strength is enhanced through the use of slotted rafters and runners that form a halved joint, providing a more stable and robust connection than standard butt joints.
Can I add climbing plants to this pergola?
Yes, the sturdy construction, particularly the solid posts and stable frame, makes it suitable for supporting climbing plants once they mature.
What are the dimensions of the pergola?
The pergola has the following dimensions: Length 240 cm, Width 540 cm, and Height 270 cm. It weighs 163.4 kg.
Troubleshooting
Pergola feels unstable after assembly.
Double-check that all halved joints are fully seated and all heavy-duty fixings are tightened securely. Ensure the base posts are properly anchored to the ground using appropriate feet (sold separately) and that the ground itself is level.
Difficulty drilling into post base.
Ensure you are using the supplied flat drill bit and have it centered correctly on the base of the post. Apply firm, steady pressure. If the wood is particularly dense, a sharp drill bit may assist.
Wood shows signs of weathering too quickly.
While pressure-treated, wood is a natural material. Consider applying a wood sealant or stain annually to further protect it from the elements and maintain its appearance. Ensure water does not pool around the base of the posts.
Optional feet do not align with pre-drilled hole.
Re-verify that the correct drill bit was used and centered. If the hole is slightly off, you may need to adjust the position of the feet or create a new pilot hole with careful measurement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Assembly is designed to be straightforward with the minimum of tools. Key steps involve connecting the slotted runners and rafters using the provided fixings. Ensure all joints are secure. For installation, the included flat drill bit should be used to create a pilot hole in the center of the bottom of each post. This hole is crucial for accurately positioning the posts onto either bolt-down or spiked feet (sold separately).
Compatibility:
This pergola is compatible with various optional add-ons, including different types of post feet (bolt-down and spiked) for secure ground anchoring. It can also accommodate customizations such as a 5-degree slope or additional cladding/pedestal panels.
Care:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of the pressure-treated Northern European Redwood, regular cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Periodically check all fixings for tightness. For prolonged protection, consider applying a suitable wood sealant or stain annually, especially after the initial weathering period.
