Troubleshooting
Parts do not align correctly during assembly
Ensure the 'slotted' halves of the rafters and runners are fully engaged and that the posts are oriented correctly. Double-check the assembly diagrams.
Pergola feels unstable
Verify that all fixings are tightened securely. Ensure the pergola is installed on a level surface and consider using optional ground anchoring solutions (bolt-down or spike feet).
Timber shows signs of weathering or discoloration
Apply a suitable wood preservative or sealant designed for treated timber. This is especially important for cut ends or areas exposed to prolonged sunlight and moisture.
Drill bit provided does not fit desired fixings
The drill bit is provided for locating posts onto specific Rutland County Garden Furniture feet. If using alternative fixings, ensure you have the correct drill bit size for your chosen hardware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the Base: Ensure you have a level and firm surface where the pergola will be installed. Consider using concrete footings or specialized post holders (sold separately) for maximum stability.
- Assemble the Frame: Connect the slotted rafters and runners using the provided fixings. The halved joint design simplifies alignment.
- Attach Corner Posts: Secure the solid 95mm x 95mm corner posts.
- Install Braces and Panels: Affix the decorative braces and post pedestal panels.
- Post Footings: If using bolt-down or spiked feet (optional extras), cut your posts to the desired length. Use the included flat drill bit to drill a central hole at the bottom of each post to locate it accurately on the foot.
Compatibility:
- This pergola is designed as a standalone structure.
- Optional add-ons are available for specific installation needs, such as different post heights, slope adjustments, or various types of ground fixings (bolt-down or spike feet).
- Contact Rutland County Garden Furniture directly for details on optional extras.
Care:
- Regularly check all fixings for tightness.
- Clean the timber with a damp cloth or a mild, wood-friendly cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials.
- While the timber is pressure-treated, periodic re-application of a wood preservative or sealant, especially on cut ends, can extend its lifespan and maintain its appearance.
- Ensure no debris accumulates around the base of the posts to prevent moisture retention.
