Outdoor Great Room Lodge II Pergola - Manual (Page 2)

Introduction
Thank you for your purchase from The Outdoor GreatRoom Company. This pergola has been engineered and manufactured in the USA.
The purpose of this manual is to make the installation and assembly simpler. Outdoor GreatRoom company recommends visiting with
your local authority for building codes, restrictions, or requirements for this product. Please read the manual through before starting
the project.
This pergola is made of premium grade kiln dried Douglas Fir. Douglas Fir, if maintained properly, will last a very long time, similar to
life of both Cedar and Redwood. All finished pieces have been dipped in stain to ensure penetration. It is recommended that the
pergola receive a clear, oil based stain yearly to maintain the color, minimize warping and prevent rotting. Every few years a colored
oil based stain should be used to keep the original color.
Due to the immersion process used to stain wood pieces, parts may arrive slightly wet. If this occurs, it is recommended that wood
pieces be removed from crate and allowed to air-dry for a day or two before assembly.
Important:
Anchoring Required—Contact your local authority for details
Read instructions prior to assembly
Assistance is required and we recommend at least 4 people for installation
Do not let wood pergolas touch bare ground. Over time this can cause moisture damage and rotting of wood.

Douglas Fir Lumber may have surface splits. This occurs while the lumber dries and seasons. This characteristic is also known as
“checking” in the lumber industry. These can be upwards of 1/8” running inches to feet in length. These characteristics do not deter
the structural strength and integrity of the product nor does it affect or void the warranty.
