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 3in
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.
