Troubleshooting
Pergola posts do not sit flush on footings
Ensure the pre-drilled locating hole in the bottom of the post is clean and correctly sized for the footing pin or bolt. Double-check that the footing itself is level.
Difficulty aligning notched joints
Ensure you are using the correct components for each location (corner posts, runners, rafters). Loosening fixings slightly can sometimes aid alignment before fully tightening.
Pergola feels unstable after assembly
Verify that all fixings are tightened securely. Ensure the chosen footings are appropriate for the ground type and are installed correctly. Check that the pergola is square and plumb.
Water pooling on the roof structure
Consider adding the optional 5-degree slope during assembly for better water run-off. Ensure no debris is obstructing natural drainage paths.
