Installation Guide

Measure and
mark out the location of the bolt down brackets
using string or chalk line. Measure from the edges of the base
plates (not the vertical side walls). Diagonal distances must be
the same to ensure a square installation. Adjust string lines
accordingl y. The inside corner of the string lines will be the corner
of the bottom flange.
Mark out the location of bolt down brackets accordingly using
the base of the bracket accordingly.
Using a 3/16” (4.7 mm) mason
ry drill bit, drill 3“ (8 cm) deep holes

Proceed to install th

the bottom base of the bolt down bracket. (Not included)
Please Note:
Concrete patios generally have sloped surface for water run-off.
If this is the case, when you secure the bolt down brac
ket to the
concrete, the bracket may be at an angle. This can be corrected
for level using ga lvaniz ed steel washers (not provided), acting
as shims underneat h the base to level - VERY IMPORTANT OR
PERGOLA BEAMS AND RAFTERS WILL NOT BE LEVEL.

Attach 8 post shims to each of the wooden post, placing shims

Please Note:
Some 4x4 pressure treated wood posts can be larger than 3 1/2 x 3
1/2 (9 cm x 9 cm) square due to twisting or cracking. We have
allowed a tolerance for this in the post brackets and the internal
one way and two way 4x4 wood post guides. However in extreme
cases, you may need to shave down the end of your 4x4 wood post
slightly to allow access.
