If for any reason you need assistance, you can find our contact details on the final page of these instructions.
We strongly recommend that any assembly is carried out on an open flat, level surface if possible and with sufficient space. You will also require the assistance of at least 2 adults to complete assembly safely.
If for any reason you don’t feel confident in completing this project, we would recommend consulting a qualified professional to undertake the work.

The assembly steps that follow are divided into 2 sections. The first section
(Page 3) covers the assembly of a one piece runner pergola, the second section
a split runner/wall plate post pergola.
6 post pergolas 4.2 and 4.8M in length are one piece runner. All pergolas 5.4M
in length and above are split runner/wall plate.
IMPORTANT: The distance from ground level to the top edge of the wall
plate must match the height of your post tops above ground level – bear this
in mind if you are shortening the posts or sinking them in.
If you have ordered your pergola with a roof slope please refer to the charts
below for guidance of the difference in length that you will need to cut your
posts to accommodate the slope.

ONE PIECE RUNNER VERSION
Step 1
Work out where you wish to affix your wall plate, making sure that the area
directly in front of it is flat, level and able to support the structure. Also
check that the longer edge is at the top. Attach the wall plate using suitable
fixings for the wall construction. Measure in 400mm from each end and use
sufficient fixings so that the minimum distance between them is 500mm,
distributed evenly and vertically centred across the wall. Ensure it is
horizontal with a laser or spirit level.
Step 2
Lay one of the runners on a flat, level surface and then, using the end
slots on the runner as a guide, slide the Double slotted posts on to it as
shown.
Step 3
Make sure the post is correctly aligned and square to the runner before
securing into place with a 65mm woodscrew. Repeat this process for the other
end of the runner.
Step 4
Add the braces, butting their angled faces against the post and underside
of the runner and aligning it centrally against the post before fixing into
place with a 70mm coach screw through each end.
Step 5
Get your assistants to manoeuvre the previously assembled “goalpost”
assembly into place so that is it approximately in place, parallel to and
about the length of a rafter away from the wall plate before raising it up
into the vertical position.
Step 6
Drop the 2 outer rafters into place, making sure they are slotted fully
into the wall plate and the posts.
Step 7
Check everything looks square and fully slotted in place before securing
with a 200mm coach screw driven down through the rafter and runner into the
post…
Step 8
… and a 120mm coach screw driven down through the rafter into the wall
plate.
Step 9
Drop the remaining rafters into their slots…
Step 10
…and secure with a 120mm coach screw at each end.
Step 11
Add the remaining braces to the corner posts, fixing them as before with a
70mm coac hscrew at each end.
Step 12
If you have a 3 post version add the extra post by sliding
it into position as shown, centred between the 2 central rafters, before
fixing it to the runner with a pair of 65mm woodscrews.
Step 13
To attach cladding panels simply align as shown at the base of the post
before screwing into place using 4 x 65mm woodscrews through the pre-drilled
holes per panel. Repeat for each face of the post.
Step 14
Your pergola is now complete
Step 15
Work out where you wish to affix your wall plates, making sure that the
area directly in front of them is flat, level and able to support the
structure. Also check that the longer edge is at the top. Attach the wall
plates using suitable fixings for the wall construction. Measure in 400mm from
each end and use sufficient fixings so that the minimum distance between them
is 500mm, distributed evenly and vertically centred across the wall. Ensure it
is horizontal with a laser or spirit level.
Step 16
Lay one of the runners on a flat, level surface and then, using the end
slot on the runner as a guide, slide the Double slotted post on to it as shown
and a single slotted post over the other end.
Step 17
Make sure the Double slotted post is correctly aligned and square to the
runner before securing into place with a 65mm woodscrew.
Step 18
Align the Single slotted post at the other end of the runner as shown, so
that the end of the runner fills half of the slot and the post is
perpendicular to the runner. Fix in place with a pair of 65mm woodscrews.
Step 19
Add the braces, butting their angled faces against the post and underside
of the runner and aligning it centrally against the post before fixing into
place with a 70mm coach screw through each end.
Step 20
Using the remaining runner, Double slotted post and brace, construct a single
post, partial “Goalpost” using the same methods outlined in Steps 16-19.
Step 21
Get your assistants to manoeuvre the previously assembled “goalpost” assembly
into place so that is it approximately in place, parallel to and about the
length of a rafter away from the appropriate wall plate before raising it up
into the vertical position.
Step 22
Drop the 1 outer rafters and one intermediate rafter into place, making sure
they are slotted fully into the wall plate, post and runner.
Step 23
Check everything looks square and fully slotted in place before securing the
outer rafter with a 200mm coach screw driven down through the rafter and
runner into the post.
Step 24
Secure the wall plate ends with a 120mm coach screw driven down through the
rafter into the wall plate.
Step 25
Secure the runner end of the intermediate rafter with another 120mm coach
screw.
Step 26
Manoeuvre the partial “goalpost” assembly from Step 19 into place so that the
runner end fully locates in the centre post slot….
Step 27
…and secure in place with 2 of the 65mm woodscrews.
Step 28
Now lower another rafter onto this end of the assembly, adjusting the post
position if necessary, and once fully located in the top of the post and on
the wall plate, secure in place with a 120mm coach screw at the wall plate and
a 200mm coach screw into the top of the post.
Step 29
Drop the remaining rafters into their slots and secure with a 120mm coach
screw at each end.
Step 30
Add the remaining braces to the corner posts and centre post, fixing them as
before with a 70mm coach screw at each end.
Step 31
To attach cladding panels simply align as shown at the base of the post before
screwing into place using 4 x green woodscrews through the pre-drilled holes
per panel. Repeat for each face of the post.
Step 32
Your pergola is now complete.
