FAQs
Do I need to concrete the pergola in place?
For optimal stability, it is recommended to concrete the pergola in situ. If you require a freestanding structure, additional braces or specific foot attachments (bolt-down or spike) must be purchased separately.
What are the main dimensions of the pergola?
The dimensions are Length 180 cm x Width 360 cm x Height 270 cm.
Can I make the pergola taller?
Yes, you can opt for 3-meter posts instead of the standard 2.7-meter posts. Please inquire about this option when ordering.
What kind of wood is used?
The pergola is constructed from high-quality, pressure-treated Northern European Redwood.
Are the fixings suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, all fixings are heavy-duty and corrosion-treated to withstand outdoor conditions.
How do I attach the pergola to the ground if I don't want to concrete it?
You can purchase optional galvanized steel socket design bolt-down feet or spike feet. A drill bit is supplied to help prepare the posts for these fittings.
What tools are needed for assembly?
The pergola is designed for easy assembly with the minimum of tools required, typically standard DIY tools.
Troubleshooting
Pergola feels unstable when not concreted in.
Ensure that the optional braces have been correctly installed and secured according to the manufacturer's instructions. For a truly freestanding setup, consider using the available bolt-down or spike foot options.
Difficulty drilling pilot holes in posts.
Ensure you are using a sharp, flat drill bit of the appropriate size. Apply steady pressure and consider using a drill guide for a straighter hole. The provided drill bit is designed for this purpose.
Wood appears to be weathering or changing color.
This is a natural process for wood. To maintain the desired aesthetic and provide additional protection, consider applying a wood stain or sealant annually. The pressure treatment ensures structural integrity is maintained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Box Pergola is designed for concreting directly into the ground. If a freestanding installation is desired, ensure you purchase the optional braces for added stability. After cutting posts to your desired length, use the provided flat drill bit to create a pilot hole in the center of the bottom of each post. This hole will help locate the post onto the chosen foot or base (bolt-down or spike). Assembly generally requires minimal tools.
Compatibility: This pergola is compatible with various optional add-ons, including 5-degree slope cladding, pedestal panels, extended 3m posts, and different types of galvanised steel feet (socket design, bolt-down, spike). Please contact Rutland County Garden Furniture directly for details on these options.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the pressure-treated redwood, it is recommended to clean the pergola periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. While the wood is pressure-treated, annual re-application of a suitable wood sealant or stain can further protect it from UV rays and moisture, extending its lifespan.
