FAQs
What type of wood is the pergola made from?
The pergola is constructed from spruce timber, known for its density and sturdiness.

Can I grow climbing plants on this pergola?
Yes, the sturdy posts are designed to support the growth of climbing plants.
What is the benefit of pre-notched rafters?
Pre-notched rafters are precisely cut to fit specific points, which simplifies and speeds up the assembly process.
Does the pergola come with a roof cover?
The pergola provides an overhead structure but does not include an integrated roof cover. You can add a separate cover or allow plants to grow for shade.
How should I prepare the ground for installation?
Ensure the ground is level and stable. You will likely need to dig post holes and secure the posts using concrete or post-mix for stability.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or wobbly structure after assembly
Ensure all posts are securely anchored in the ground. Re-check and tighten all fixings. Verify that the ground is level and stable before and during assembly.
Wood appears to be weathering prematurely
While pressure-treated, applying a suitable wood sealant or stain can protect against UV damage and extend the aesthetic lifespan of the timber. Clean the surface before application.
Missing assembly fixings
Carefully review the packaging contents against the parts list in the assembly manual. If any parts are genuinely missing, contact customer support with your order details.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the chosen location has level and stable ground. Dig post holes to the recommended depth (refer to assembly manual) and use appropriate post-mix or concrete for secure anchoring. Assemble the main frame following the provided instructions, paying close attention to the pre-notched rafter placements. All assembly fixings are included to connect the various timber components.
Compatibility: This pergola is designed as a standalone garden feature. It is compatible with most standard ground types but may require specific anchoring solutions for very soft or uneven terrain. It is suitable for use with a variety of climbing plants.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the spruce timber, regular cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. While the framework is pressure-treated and offers 10-year protection, occasional application of a wood sealant or stain can further protect the wood from UV fading and environmental factors, especially for exposed areas. Check fixings periodically to ensure they remain secure.
