Product Information
Full details
The Rutland Panel Pergola is designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts looking to create a modern, structured outdoor living space that favors contemporary aesthetics over traditional rustic designs. Its primary benefit is a highly customizable slatted design that allows users to adjust light filtration and privacy based on their personal preference, though it is important to note that this structure requires a permanent installation process by being concreted into the ground.

FAQs
Can I install this on a patio?
This model is designed to be concreted into the ground. Installing it on a patio would require alternative mounting brackets not included in this set.
What tools are needed for assembly?
Basic tools such as a drill, spirit level, and tape measure are required, along with materials for concrete mixing and post-hole digging.
How long does the pressure-treated timber last?
Pressure-treated timber is highly resistant to rot, but longevity depends on environmental conditions and regular maintenance.
Can I adjust the dimensions of the pergola?
The structure is provided as a set of fixed dimensions (240x240cm). Altering the dimensions is not recommended as it may compromise structural integrity.
Does the pergola come painted?
The timber is pressure-treated, which often results in a green tint. You can paint or stain over this once the wood has fully dried.
Troubleshooting
Timber showing slight surface splits
Small surface splits are natural as timber expands and contracts with weather; these do not affect structural integrity.
Difficulty aligning the rafters
Ensure your corner posts are perfectly plumb and level before securing them into the concrete; use temporary bracing if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Modern, clean-lined contemporary design
- Highly flexible slat spacing for light control
- High-quality pressure-treated timber for longevity
- Robust construction with solid corner posts

Cons

- Heavier weight (152 kg) necessitates multiple people for assembly
- Fixed post height design limits installation on hard surfaces like concrete patios without specialized shoes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is designed for minimal tool usage, but given the total weight and the requirement to concrete the 2700mm posts, a two-person team is recommended. Ensure the ground is level before starting the post-hole excavation. Care for this product involves periodic inspection of the timber. As it is pressure-treated, the wood is naturally protected, but applying a timber treatment or stain annually can help maintain the green finish and provide additional UV protection. Avoid using the pergola as a support for heavy climbing plants until the concrete has fully cured for at least 48 hours.
