Installation Guide

Four holes facing up
Rafter Assembly
Insert the end of the rafter marked A into a joiner. Install
the joiners so that the side with the four holes is facing up.
Push
firmly so the extrusion bottoms out inside the joiner.
Note: If you purchased the Malibu Pergola, please use the plain
joiners included in the Malibu box. This will allow the canopy to
glide over the rafters smoothly.
Insert one steel stiffener (with steel block facing up), into the
lower pocket of the rafter. Push until steel block hits
internal ribbing.
Slide the other end of rafter marked A over the steel insert and
into the joiner to create one full rafter. Repeat as necessary.
Screw the joiner to the rafters and steel inserts using 1
1/2” (38 mm) screws. The bottom and top holes will need to
be pre-drilled
using a 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit.
Repeat steps 1 to 4 for the remaining 5 rafters.
