PERGOLA DETAILS AND WARNINGS
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL ALONE. SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO MODERATELY MODIFY THE
DIMENSIONS OF YOUR PERGOLA FROM THE STANDARD KIT SIZE, A CIRCULAR SAW WITH
A SHARP FINE-TOOTH BLADE IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO CUT, SHORTEN OR MODIFY THE
VINYL COMPONENTS. WHEN ASSEMBLING COMPONENTS, PLACE ON A NON-ABRASIVE
SURFACE (IE: SHIPPING BOX) TO AVOID SCRATCHING. WE RECOMMEND A 20' X 20' AREA
FOR UNOBSTRUCTED ASSEMBLING. YOU SHOULD NOT NEED TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE
PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CLEARLY AND PLAN AHEAD TO AVOID CONFUSION AND
ISSUES DURING INSTALLATION. CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE SLOPE OF ELEVATION WHERE
THE PERGOLA IS PLANNED - IF THERE IS ANY UTILITY OR SPRINKLER LINE, PLACEMENT IS
IMPORTANT TO IDENTIFY PRIOR TO EXCAVATING HOLES IF NECESSARY. PLEASE CHECK
TO VERIFY BUILDING CODES, ORDINANCES, NEIGHBORHOOD COVENANTS, OR HEIGHT
RESTRICTIONS REGARDING THIS TYPE OF STRUCTURE.
