Thank you for purchasing the Pergola PR100N1.
When properly assembled and maintained, this pergola will provide many years of enjoyment!
These instructions include helpful hints and important information needed to safely assemble and properly main-
tain the pergola. Please read these instructions completely before you begin.
Our patented pergola has been designed for easy assembly. All steps can be completed by a team of
three people. The assembly should take about two hours.
Before Starting Assembly:
CAREFULLY READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN AND FOLLOW THE
STEPS IN THE ORDER THEY ARE PRESENTED.
1. Make sure you have all the necessary parts:
Compare the contents of the three cartons to the List of Parts. If any parts are missing or damaged, or
you have any questions, please contact Customer service:
[phone] before beginning assembly.
2. Lay the parts out in separate staging areas:
The List of Parts has the corresponding step number referenced to each part. We recommend that
while you go through the list, make staging areas for each step and place the parts necessary for
 eachstepintheseareas.Thiswillsaveyoutimeandeortduringassembly.

water drainage and easy access to power and water, if neccessary.
Choose a sunny, level position away from overhanging trees and power lines and protected from the
wind as much as possible. Locate underground pipes or cables before preparing the site or anchoring
the pergola.

4. Prepare a Foundation:
After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site is recommended. The site must be level.
If the site is not level, create a base slightly larger than the outside dimensions of the pergola using a
 perimeteroftwobyfourslledwitheithersoil,sodorgravel.
Make sure the base is square by measuring the diagonals from both directions and making sure
they are equal. The pergola is secured with pegs into holes cast with concrete.

and level. Make sure you have checked with your local authorities regarding any required building
permits.
