STEP ONE
Shade Slat Assembly

STEP TWO
Shade Slats Installation
-
Follow the pergola instructions until just before the shade slat installation.
At this point, 28 shade slats are assembled (i.e. 14 from the pergola kit and 14 from this additional shade slat kit). Install the first shade slat up against the columns and install the rest of the shade slats at 3 3/8in (8.7cm) spacing. -
Proceed with the remainder of the steps, including fastening 3 screws through the shade slats and into the rafters.
Note: If the additional shade kit is installed retroactively, simply place one shade slat assembly in between two shade slats. Only 13 shade slats will be used in this case.
