POST MOUNT BRACKETS
We recommend using a Post Mount Bracket to secure pergola posts to your foundation.
Although the pergola is stable and strong without installing a bracket, installation of the brackets will firm up the structure and lessen the amount of sway that may occur with your structure. In areas of high winds, please check with your local building authority to confirm suitability

Site Prep
Preparing the site appropriately is crucial for the successful installation of sheds, gardens, gazebos, playhouses, or pergolas. A comprehensive assessment of the site helps to safeguard the structural soundness and durability of these outdoor fixtures. Removing debris from the area, ensuring the ground is level, and evaluating soil drainage can mitigate potential problems down the line. Proper site preparation aids in preventing water buildup which could result in early rotting and damage. Furthermore, it guarantees a stable and even base, avoiding any structural instability. Dedicating time to adequate site prep before initiating a project guarantees that your investment will be safe, durable, and aesthetically pleasing for many years.
Please keep in mind: Some municipalities mandate building permits before installation. We encourage all customers to verify these specifics with their local county/municipality prior to buying any of our products as this is your sole responsibility.
