FAQs
What is included with the standard pergola kit?
The standard kit includes the redwood timber components (posts, runners, rafters) with pre-cut notches and corrosion-treated fixings. A flat drill bit for post preparation is also supplied.
Are the post footings included in the price?
No, post footings (such as bolt-down or spiked feet) are optional extras and need to be purchased separately. Please contact us or check the website for available options.
Can I change the height of the posts?
Yes, an optional extra allows for changing the pergola post height from the standard 2.7m to 3m. Please inquire about this option when ordering.
How do I attach the pergola to the ground?
You will need to purchase compatible footings, such as galvanized steel socket design bolt-down feet or spike feet. The provided drill bit is used to prepare the post base for locating onto these feet.
Is assembly difficult?
The pergola is designed for ease of assembly with pre-notched components to aid alignment. While straightforward, basic DIY skills and tools are recommended.
What are the exact dimensions of the pergola?
The pergola dimensions are Length 180 cm x Width 780 cm x Height 270 cm.
Can I add a slope to the pergola?
Yes, a 5-degree slope to the pergola is available as an optional add-on. This can help with water runoff.
Troubleshooting
Pergola feels unstable after assembly
Ensure all fixings are tightened securely. Verify that the chosen post footings are appropriate for the ground type and are installed correctly. Check that posts are plumb and square before final tightening.
Notches on timber do not align perfectly
Slight adjustments may be needed. Loosen fixings slightly, adjust timber positioning, and re-tighten. Ensure the base posts are level before attaching subsequent pieces.
Drill bit not suitable for post material
The provided drill bit is intended for creating a locating hole for feet. Ensure you are using a drill bit appropriate for wood and that the speed and pressure are suitable. If the provided bit is insufficient, a standard wood drill bit of the appropriate size may be used.
Wood appears to be splitting or cracking
This can sometimes occur with natural timber due to environmental changes. Ensure the wood is kept clean and consider reapplying a protective wood treatment. Minor cracks are often cosmetic and do not affect structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward with minimal tools. The corner posts, side runners, and rafters feature pre-cut notches that aid in alignment and ensure strong joints. After cutting posts to your desired length, use the provided flat drill bit to create a central hole at the bottom of each post. This hole is crucial for locating the post onto purchased bolt-down or spiked feet.
Compatibility: This pergola is compatible with a range of optional add-ons, including different post heights, 5-degree slope modifications, cladding/pedestal panels, and various types of galvanized steel feet (bolt-down and spiked). The choice of footing will determine compatibility with different ground surfaces. Please contact customer service for specific compatibility inquiries regarding optional extras.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the redwood, it is recommended to clean the pergola periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. While the timber is pressure-treated, regular inspection for any signs of wear or damage is advisable. Reapplying a suitable wood treatment annually can further protect the timber and extend its lifespan.
