Instructions / Assembly

Measure and mark out the location of the bolt down brackets using
string or chalk line. Diagonal distances must be the same to
ensure a square installation. Adjust string lines accordingly.
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” (5mm) masonry drill bit drill 3“ (76mm) deep
holes to allow installation of 2 3/4” (70mm) concrete screws
(Not included).
Proceed to install three 2 3/4” (70mm) concrete screws into 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 bracket to the
concrete, the bracket may be at an angle. This can be corrected
for level using galvanized steel washers (not provided), acting
as shims underneath the base to level - VERY IMPORTANT OR
PERGOLA BEAMS AND RAFTERS WILL NOT BE LEVEL.

With the six post brackets installed plumb, proceed to set
the 4x4 x7’ (10x10x213cm) wood post in place. Repeat for all 6 posts.
Posts should be 84” (213cm) in height.
Please Note:
Some 4x4 pressure treated
wood posts can be larger than 3 1/2 x
3 1/2 (8.9x8.9cm) 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.
