STEP ONE Assemble the Side Panels 1 1 Layout the horizontal bottom rail and insert the two long vertical spindles followed by seven of the middle rails. The spacing should be roughly 5 1/2” (14 cm) apart. Subsequently, place the horizontal top rail over the two long vertical spindles as shown aside. 2 Set out one post and slide side panel into place as shown. Note the L and R on the posts. 3 Lay out the second post with holes facing upwards and insert the completed panel and connected post.

STEP T WO Connect Beams to Side Panels 3 Temporarily place the bracket and brace between the post as shown. ensure that the three top surfaces (beam, post insert cap and brace) are flush to each other. 1 Place the two side panels with 50 in (127 cm) between the posts. Place and fasten a beam to the outside of the posts as shown below. The beam should extend 3.5 in (8.9 cm) beyond the outside face of the posts. 4 Mark the location of the bracket with a pencil and remove the brace.

STEP THREE 3 Connect Filters and Pergola Ends For added stability, fasten two-3” (7.6 cm) screws on top of each end filters into the braces as shown. 1 4 Fasten the seven filters with the screws provided, aligning them to the pre-drilled holes on top of the beams as shown. To secure post trim into place, apply a generous amount of vinyl weld onto the perimeter of the posts as shown. 2 5 Apply a small amount of glue to the pergola ends for both the filters and beams as shown.

S T E P F OUR Arch Installation Archs must be well secured to prevent tipping over from wind load etc. We have provided four ground anchors for securing the arch either into the ground or a concrete footing. In some cases it may be acceptable to secure the arch to an existing structure such as a fence post. if you are installing your arch on concrete or a deck, see your hardware store for the appropriate galvanized bracketing hardware.
