Troubleshooting
Pergola feels unstable after installation
Ensure all posts are securely concreted into the ground to the recommended depth. Check that all fixings are tightened and that the main structural beams are firmly attached.
Wood appears to be weathering or discolored
This is normal for outdoor timber. Clean the surface with a damp cloth. For aesthetic purposes, consider applying a wood preserver or stain suitable for pressure-treated timber.
Difficulty aligning panel slats
Ensure the main frame (runners and rafters) is level and square before attaching slats. Use a measuring tape to ensure consistent spacing between each slat.
Fixings show signs of rust
While fixings are corrosion-treated, prolonged exposure can eventually lead to surface rust. This is typically cosmetic. For severe cases, consider replacing individual fixings with galvanized alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This pergola is designed to be concreted into the ground. The posts are supplied at 2700mm, with 400mm intended for burial. Ensure you have a suitable location with adequate space. Assembly involves connecting the runners, rafters, and individual panel slats using the provided fixings. Minimal tools are required, but a level and shovel will be necessary for post installation.
Compatibility: The pergola is a standalone structure. Custom sizes and optional add-ons like cladding/pedestal panels or different footing types are available upon request, allowing for adaptation to specific site requirements. Ensure the ground is stable and suitable for concreting.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the pressure-treated Redwood, regular cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Occasional re-treatment with a suitable wood preserver or stain can further protect the timber and refresh its appearance, especially after several years of exposure.
