FAQs
How is the pergola anchored to the ground?
The Box Pergola is designed to be concreted directly into the ground (in situ). For freestanding use, separate braces must be purchased to ensure stability.
What type of wood is used?
It is constructed from high-quality, pressure-treated Northern European Redwood, which offers excellent durability and resistance to rot and insects.
Can I adjust the height of the posts?
Yes, changing the post height is an available optional add-on. Please contact customer service for more information on this customization.
What are the overall dimensions of the pergola?
The pergola measures 300 cm in length, 360 cm in width, and 270 cm in height (L300 x W360 x H270 cm).
Do I need special tools for assembly?
Assembly is designed to be easy and requires minimal tools. Specific tools may depend on how you choose to anchor the posts (e.g., spade for digging, if not using optional feet).
What are the dimensions of the main posts, runners, and rafters?
The corner posts are solid 95mm x 95mm, and the runners and rafters are 34mm x 140mm.
Can I add a sloped roof?
Yes, a 5-degree slope is available as an optional add-on to customize the pergola further.
Troubleshooting
Pergola feels unstable after installation
Ensure posts are securely concreted in situ. If attempting freestanding use, confirm that the required stability braces have been installed correctly.
Difficulty aligning posts during assembly
Utilize the supplied flat drill bit for precise post alignment. Double-check measurements before fixing components together.
Wood shows signs of weathering or discoloration
This is normal for outdoor timber. Clean with mild soap and water. Consider applying a clear wood preserver or a stain in your desired colour to refresh its appearance and add protection.
Fixings appear to be loosening over time
Periodically inspect all screws and bolts. Tighten any that have become loose. Ensure you are using the heavy-duty, corrosion-treated fixings supplied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Site Preparation: Choose a level location for installation. Mark out the post positions accurately.
- Anchoring: For the standard setup, dig holes and concrete the posts in situ for maximum stability. A flat drill bit is supplied for post alignment if purchasing bolt-down or spiked feet.
- Assembly: Follow the provided instructions to connect the runners, rafters, and posts using the supplied heavy-duty fixings.
- Optional Feet: If using bolt-down or spiked feet, attach them according to their specific instructions and ensure they are securely anchored.
Compatibility:
- Freestanding Use: The pergola is designed to be concreted in. For freestanding applications, braces must be purchased separately to ensure stability.
- Ground Type: Suitable for most garden grounds, provided proper anchoring (concreting or secure fixing of optional feet) is undertaken.
- Optional Add-ons: Compatible with a 5-degree slope, cladding/pedestal panels, and changes in post height. Contact customer service for details.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the timber with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Maintenance: Periodically check all fixings for tightness. The pressure-treated timber is designed for outdoor use, but applying a suitable wood preservative or stain every few years can help maintain its appearance and further protect it, especially if a different colour is desired.
- Winter Care: While durable, consider removing excessive snow load if heavy snowfall is expected to prevent undue stress on the structure.
