Insert one 2x6x12 pressure treated wood into a beam section
followed by the joiner and another beam section.
Critical Note:
Note the location of the pre-drilled holes on beams. As pictured
aside, the further distanced holes need to mate together inside
the beam joiner. this is critical to ensure equal spacing of your
rafters.
Temporarily insert the pergola ends into both end of the beam as
shown aside. Due to the lengh variation in wood, this will ensure
that the pergola ends will go on perfectly.
Please Note:
If there is a gap between the pergola end and beam, remove 2x6
wood and trim down the wood beam appropriately.
Install the rafter brackets to the main beams using 5/8”
screws. Only attach four brackets to the beam as shown.
Follow the pre-drilled holes to identify locations.
Screw the joiner to vinyl beams and wood insert using 1 1/2”
screws.
Remove and set aside pergola ends for the time being.
Repeat steps 1 to 4 for second beam.
