OVERALL DIMENSIONS 168” [4267mm] 12 [3 04 0m m ] 97” [24 64m m] 0” PROJECT PLANNING Step 1: Create a Perimeter For The Pergola 1. This Evolution Pergola Kit is designed to have a perimeter of 168” x 120” [4267mm x 3040mm]. 2. Using Stakes and Guide String create a perimeter for the pergola. Each side of the pergola should be positioned a minimum of 4” [102mm] from the edge of the ground surface. As shown in Fig. 1.

Step 2: Mark Post to Pier Bracket Locations 1. Position Post to Pier Brackets (component A) along internal corners of Guide Strings. As shown in Fig. 2. 2. Using a pencil, mark bolt hole locations. Tip: • For a successful installation, confirm the created perimeter with Post to Pier Brackets is accurate and square. • How To Square Perimeter: Fortress recommends using the 3-4-5 rule. Measure and mark 3’ [914mm] & 4’ [1219mm] from the starting point along guide string, then measure between two markings.
