Vinyl Column Installation

Over Wood Posts

9

6.5 x 6.5 Wood Grain Flat Top Pergola

Using a step ladder, guide the vinyl column over the top of the

wood post down into position. Ensure that holes at top of

column are orientated correctly for future beam and

rafter placement as per illustration.

Please Note:

If you installed your wood posts directly into the ground, please

proceed to position the vinyl column tight to the inside corner of

the wood posts as illustrated below. NO SHIMS REQUIRED.

Finally, adjust post heights accordingly to ensure future level

installation of beams and rafters as necessary. If slope is severe

causing a height difference between the posts, you may need

to trim down the bottom of two or more of your vinyl columns

as necessary.

Secure the vinyl columns to the wood posts using 2 - 3/4” screws

at 8” up from the bottom and 1 more approximately 36” high.
