FAQs
What type of wood is used for the pergola?
The pergola is constructed from high-quality, pressure-treated Northern European Redwood.
What are the main dimensions of the pergola?
The pergola measures L180 x W480 x H270 cm.
Do I need special tools for assembly?
Assembly requires minimal tools. A flat drill bit for post location is included. Standard tools like a screwdriver or drill, level, and measuring tape are generally sufficient.
Are post holders included with the pergola?
No, post holders (such as bolt-down or spiked options) are not included but are available as optional add-ons. Please contact us for more information.
How should I maintain the pergola?
Clean with mild soap and water. Consider applying a wood treatment or stain annually or bi-annually to preserve its appearance and protect the timber.
Can the pergola be installed on uneven ground?
It is best installed on a level surface. If your ground is uneven, you may need to level the area first or use adjustable post holders, which are available as optional extras.
What is the weight of the pergola?
The pergola weighs approximately 113 kg.
Troubleshooting
Pergola feels unstable after assembly.
Ensure all heavy-duty fixings are fully tightened. Check that the corner posts are securely anchored in the ground or in their chosen post holders. If necessary, consider using optional post holders for increased stability, particularly in windy areas.
Difficulty aligning notched components.
Ensure the posts are perfectly vertical (plumb). Minor adjustments to the post positions may be needed before tightening fixings. Double-check that you are using the correct notched components for each position (posts vs. rafters).
Wood shows signs of fading or weathering.
Apply a clear wood preservative or a coloured stain specifically designed for outdoor timber. Reapply every 1-2 years as needed to maintain appearance and protection.
Missing or damaged fixings.
Contact the retailer or Rutland County Garden Furniture Ltd directly with your purchase details to request replacement parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Site Preparation: Choose a level area for the pergola. Use the included flat drill bit to mark the exact locations for the four corner posts.
- Post Installation: Depending on your chosen method (not included, or optional post holders), securely install the four 95mm x 95mm corner posts ensuring they are plumb (vertical).
- Attaching Runners: Fix the 34mm x 140mm runners to the tops of the posts using the provided heavy-duty, corrosion-treated fixings. The pre-notched design on the posts and rafters will guide alignment.
- Attaching Rafters: Position and secure the 34mm x 140mm rafters into the notches on the runners, again using the provided fixings.
- Final Checks: Ensure all connections are tight and the structure is stable.
Compatibility:
- Ground Fixings: While the pergola can be erected directly onto a level surface, optional bolt-down or spiked post holders are available for enhanced stability on various terrains. These should be sourced separately or inquired about.
- Roof Slope: A standard 5-degree roof slope is incorporated into the design. If a different slope is desired, this is achievable through optional add-on components.
Care:
- The pergola is constructed from pressure-treated redwood, which provides inherent protection against rot and insect attack. Periodic cleaning with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth is recommended.
- To maintain the wood's colour and further enhance its longevity, consider applying a suitable wood treatment or stain every 1-2 years. Always test treatments on an inconspicuous area first.
- Regularly check fixings for tightness and inspect the timber for any signs of wear or damage.
