Product Information
Full details
The Rutland Box Pergola is designed for homeowners seeking a modern, minimalist outdoor structure to enhance their garden. Its key benefit lies in its clean, contemporary aesthetic and straightforward assembly. A primary consideration is that it requires concreted-in installation for stability, or the purchase of additional braces for freestanding placement. This pergola features robust construction with high-quality, pressure-treated Northern European Redwood and strong, corrosion-treated fixings, offering a durable and stylish garden feature.

FAQs
What is the primary difference between this Box Pergola and traditional designs?
The Box Pergola features clean, minimalist lines and a contemporary aesthetic, contrasting with the more ornate or rustic styles of traditional pergolas.
How do I ensure the pergola is stable if I don't want to concrete it in?
You will need to purchase optional extras such as the 8 x Braces for the Box Pergola, or the Galvanised Steel Socket Design Bolt Down Foot / Post Holder, or the Galvanised Steel Socket Design Spike Foot / Post Holder. These provide the necessary stability for freestanding placement.
What type of wood is used, and how is it treated?
The pergola is constructed from high-quality, pressure-treated Northern European Redwood, which enhances its durability and resistance to rot and decay.
What are the main timber dimensions used in its construction?
The corner posts are solid 95mm x 95mm, and the runners and rafters are 34mm x 140mm.
Can I change the height of the pergola posts?
Yes, you can request a change of pergola post to 3m from the standard 2.7m. Please contact customer support to arrange this optional extra.
What is included with the purchase regarding feet or ground anchoring?
The standard purchase includes the pergola kit itself. For ground anchoring, you must purchase optional extras like bolt-down or spike feet separately. The kit does include a flat drill bit for preparing posts if you are using these feet.
How do I add optional extras like a slope or panels?
Please contact customer support via telephone at 01293691122 or use the live chat feature on the website to discuss and order optional add-ons.
Troubleshooting
Pergola feels unstable when freestanding
Ensure all optional braces are securely fastened. If braces were not purchased, it is highly recommended to install the galvanized steel socket design bolt-down or spike feet, or concrete the posts directly into the ground as per the setup instructions.
Difficulty aligning pre-drilled holes during assembly
Loosen the fixings slightly on the components being joined, align the holes, and then re-tighten all screws and bolts. Ensure posts are vertical and runners/rafters are level before fully securing.
Wood shows signs of weathering or colour change
Apply a high-quality exterior wood stain or sealant suitable for pressure-treated timber. Reapply as needed, typically every 1-3 years depending on exposure.
Missing fixings or components
Double-check all packaging. If components are still missing, contact customer support at 01293691122 or via live chat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Site Preparation: Choose a level location for your pergola. For a permanent, freestanding structure, you will need to purchase and install appropriate feet (bolt-down or spike design). If not using feet, the posts must be concreted directly into the ground.
- Post Installation: If concreting, dig holes to the appropriate depth for your posts. Ensure posts are plumb and secured with concrete. If using feet, follow the specific installation instructions for the chosen foot type. A flat drill bit is supplied for preparing posts to fit onto feet.
- Assembly: Attach the runners and rafters to the corner posts using the provided corrosion-treated, heavy-duty fixings. The design prioritizes minimal tool usage for assembly.
- Optional Add-ons: If ordering optional extras such as 5-degree slope, cladding, or different post heights, follow the specific instructions provided with those components.
Compatibility:
- The pergola is designed to be a standalone structure but can be integrated with various garden styles. Optional braces are available for added stability if not concreting in.
- Compatibility with optional extras should be confirmed at the time of purchase.
Care:
- The timber is pressure-treated for durability. However, for long-term colour preservation and added protection, consider applying a suitable wood stain or sealant, especially to the 'Light Green' finish.
- Regularly inspect fixings to ensure they remain tight and free from corrosion.
- Keep the area around the base of the posts clear of debris to prevent moisture build-up.
