Secure Shims to
“build out” the 4x4
(10.6 cm x 10.6 cm)
Posts on all four sides
````
Align the holes on the bottom plate of the bolt down bracket, the
wood deck, and the blocking board and insert a bolt, washer, and nut
as shown aside.
Tighten each bolt with a screwdriver and a wrench.
With the four post brackets installed plumb, proceed to set the 4x4
wood post in place. Secure using the screws included in the kit.
Repeat for all 4 posts.
In order to create a snug fit between the 4x4 (10.6 cm x 10.6 cm) wood
posts and the inner cavity of the vinyl posts, it will be necessary to
“build out” the posts near the bottom and the top using
1/2”x3x1/2”x12” (1.3 cm x 9 cm x 30.5 cm) shims.
Follow instructions as illustrated.
Using a step ladder, guide the bottom vinyl columns over the
wood 4x4 (10.6 cm x 10.6 cm) posts.
Proceed with assembling and installing your pergola.
