28 Shade Slats Installation
Note: The 12x24 Flat Top Pergola comes with enough parts to
assemble & install 14 shade slats. The 12x24 Additional Shade Slat Kit
provides enough parts to assemble & install another 14 shade slats, for
a total of 28.
The 28 shade slats are designed to be installed with
3 1/2” (8.9cm) spacing between each slat.
Shade slats are designed to extend approximately 8 1/4” (21cm)
past the last rafter. Measurement includes the pre-installed
pergola ends. Your goal is to ensure that all the shade slats
overhang equally to the eye.
Install first shade slat adjacent to the top of the vinyl columns.
Install the rest of the shade slats at the 3 1/2” (8.9cm) spacing.
Install one 3” (76mm) screw at each intersection of rafter and shade slat.
