ASSEMBLY

Determine where you would like to install the pergola. Make sure the posts will be held in place by a solid structure and if necessary, reinforce the surface it is attaching to.
Begin building frame by attaching corner brackets (E) to frame members (B) and (C) as shown. Corner brace assembly requires screws & washers as shown (Fig. 1).

(B) rails and (C) rails should face opposite each other. Leave one (B) rail to the side.
NOTE:
Take care that welded brackets are located at the top of the beam (Fig. 2).
Using supplied screws from hardware pack (I), attach mid-beams (D) to frame member (B) through rivets (Fig. 3). Two screws per mid-beam (do not overtighten at this point).
TIP:
Use posts underneath mid-rails to level assembly for easier installation.
Attach remaining corner brackets (E) to the remaining outer rail (B) (Fig. 4).
Attach the assembly from the previous step to the larger assembly (Fig. 5).
Attach corner brackets using l b and l c.
Attach mid beams using l b and tighten all mid beam screws (12 total). (Fig 6)
Attach center braces (F) & (G) as shown through rivets (Fig. 7). Four screws per center brace. This completes the top/roof assembly.
NOTE:
(F) braces install on outer portion of assembly, (G) braces install on inner portion of assembly
Begin inserting decorative screen panels. Panels will insert into pre-welded brackets on perimeter of outer rails. Lock decorative screen panels into place using provided Cam Locks (H). Insert Cam Lock and twist 90 degrees to secure panels (Fig. 8).
NOTE:
Panels should be removed and stored elsewhere during winter months to avoid snow build-up and damage.
Using 2-3 people, tilt the top frame assembly on an angle to insert posts (A) into corner brackets (E) (Fig. 9). Take care that holes are lined up on post & corner bracket assembly.
After all 4 posts are inserted, use a step ladder to insert final bolts with washers into corner brackets (Fig. 10).
Install bottom plates to desired surface using 3/8″ bolts/screws & washers to complete assembly (Fig. 11).
