FAQs
Does the pergola come with a roof?
No, this is an open-top pergola design, which provides a frame for climbing plants or can be customized with aftermarket shade sails.
Can I install this on grass?
Yes, but you must ensure the posts are set on appropriate foundations or ground spikes to prevent the wood from rotting due to direct soil contact.
How many people are needed to assemble it?
We recommend at least two people due to the weight and length of the timber components.
What tools are required?
Basic tools including a power drill, a spirit level, and a tape measure are typically sufficient for construction.
Is the wood already treated?
Yes, it is pressure-treated to protect against rot and insect attack.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty aligning post holes during assembly
Ensure the ground is perfectly level and use a rubber mallet to gently tap components into place before inserting fixings.
Timber showing slight surface splits
This is a natural characteristic of redwood timber due to expansion and contraction; as long as the structural integrity is maintained, no action is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin setup, ensure you have a clear, level surface area. While the manufacturer designs the pergola for easy assembly with minimal tools, the size of the components makes a power drill/driver and a spirit level essential for success. Always perform the build with a second person to assist in lifting and aligning the posts. For maintenance, while the timber is pressure-treated, applying a high-quality exterior wood preservative or stain every two to three years will help maintain the color and provide an additional layer of protection against weathering. Always check that all heavy-duty fixings are tightened securely annually, particularly after the winter season.
