How should I maintain the redwood after assembly?

Troubleshooting

Pergola appears unstable after installation.

Ensure all corner posts are securely concreted into the ground and that the fixings connecting the frame and posts are fully tightened. Check for any ground movement around the concrete bases.

Difficulty in achieving desired slat spacing.

Measure and mark the positions for each slat accurately on the runners before fixing. Use a spacer tool for consistent gaps. Ensure the structure is square and level.

Wood shows signs of wear or discoloration.

Clean the wood with a mild detergent and water. Apply a protective wood stain or sealant suitable for outdoor use. Reapply annually or as needed based on environmental exposure.

Fixings appear rusty.

The provided fixings are corrosion-treated. If rust appears, inspect for damage. Replace heavily rusted fixings to maintain structural integrity. Consider using stainless steel alternatives for replacement.
