Main Support Beams & Rafters Placement

12 x 12 Flat Top Pergola

Using a helper and two ladders proceed to complete the

following steps:

Slide the main support beam with rafter brackets pre-installed

through

both holes of the vinyl column (overshooting), and

then back

through both holes of the opposite column.

Repeat for opposite main support beam.

Please Note:

The top of the vinyl columns may need to be tensioned in opposite

directions to each other to allow the main support beams and

rafters to be installed on a slight angle. The vinyl columns

naturally allow

some measure of flex.

Slide the two outer rafters through both holes of the vinyl column

and through both holes of the opposite column.

As necessary, adjust the main support beams and rafters ensuring the

overhang past the

columns is equal to the eye. Using 4” (102mm) screws

lock the main support beams and rafters

into position inside the posts by

driving in 8 screws from the outside

and 8 screws from the inside of each

column.

Place the remaining rafters in the front and rear rafter brackets.

Complete a final adjustment of all remaining rafters. All spacing

and overhangs past columns should be equal to the eye.
