FAQs
What tools are required for assembly?
The Rutland Premium Pergola is designed for easy assembly with the minimum of tools required. Specific tools will depend on the chosen method of securing the posts (e.g., a drill for bolt-down feet, a hammer for spike feet).
Are the ground fixings included with the pergola?
No, ground fixings such as bolt-down or spiked feet are optional extras and must be purchased separately. A flat drill bit is supplied to help prepare the posts for these feet.
Can I change the height of the posts?
Yes, you can cut the posts to your desired length. An option to change to 3m posts from the standard 2.7m is also available as an optional extra.
What is the material of the pergola?
The pergola is constructed from high-quality, pressure-treated Northern European Redwood, known for its durability and resistance to outdoor elements.
How do I contact customer service for optional extras?
You can contact customer service by telephone at 01293691122 or by using the live chat feature available on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
Is the green colour a paint or stain?
The product description mentions 'Green' as the colour family, and it is constructed from pressure-treated Northern European Redwood. This typically implies a green treatment that protects the wood.
What are the overall dimensions of the pergola?
The pergola has the following dimensions: Length 240 cm x Width 540 cm x Height 270 cm.
Troubleshooting
Pergola appears unstable after assembly
Ensure all fixings are tightened securely. Verify that the corner posts are plumb and properly anchored to the ground or footings. Check that the ground is level and firm.
Difficulty slotting rafters/runners into place
Ensure components are aligned correctly and free from debris. Gentle tapping with a rubber mallet may help, but avoid excessive force. Confirm you are using the correct parts for the intended location.
Wood shows signs of weathering or discolouration
This is natural weathering. Apply a suitable exterior wood treatment, sealant, or stain annually to protect the wood and restore its appearance. Ensure the wood is clean and dry before application.
Hole for post foot is not drilling cleanly
Ensure the drill bit is sharp and the drill is set to the appropriate speed. If drilling into a seasoned post, pre-drilling a smaller pilot hole can help. Use the provided flat drill bit for best results on the base of the post.
