Installing the Pergola Parts

These parts are heavy. For safety, you will need two or more people to do this assembly.

1. Assemble Base / Cap / Wing Bracket / Extension Column

Step 1. Slide the Cast Stone Base (F) over the top of

the 4" x 4" support post. Use four #8 x 1 1/2”

Philips Wood screws (Item 5) to secure the

galvanized fastening bracket at the top of the

Base into the 4" x 4" support post.

Step 2. Slide the Base Cap (E) over the 4" x 4" post and

seat it onto the base. Secure it with exterior

silicone to the base top edges.

Step 3. Measure the Extension Post (D) and add 1/8”

to 1/4” for Load Plate spacing. Take the total

measurement which should be roughly 61 1/8”

and mark a line up from the Base Cap (E).

Draw a straight line at the top of the post and

carefully remove the excess post material with

a saw.

Step 4. Align the groves on the Load Plate (Item 2) with

the Wing Bracket (Item 1) arm extensions that

fit over the 4”x4” post. Slide the two brackets

together and place on top of the 4”x4” post.

Use twelve #8 x 1 1/2” Pan Head screws (Item

6) to attach Wing Bracket to 4”x4” post. Ensure

load plate moves freely prior to installing. Once

installed remove Load Plate. Note: Determine

the desired direction for the Notched Beams.

Then orient the Load Plate and Wing Bracket.

Step 5. Squeeze Wing Bracket beam attachment arms

together completely and secure. Carefully slide

Extension Column (D) over Wing Bracket and

4’x4” post. Make sure bracket at the top of the

Extension Column is positioned opposite of the

Wing Bracket extension arms screwed into the

4”x4” post. Use four #8 x 1 1/2” Philips Wood

screws (Item 5) to secure Extension Column to

4”x4” post.
