A photo of the initial stages of assembling a large wooden pergola or gazebo in a residential backyard. Four thick, light-colored wooden posts connected by cross beams and arched supports form the main frame, which is standing on a stone-paved patio. The frame is secured with visible black hardware bolts. In the center of the patio, a large triangular section of the roof or flooring structure is resting on the ground, awaiting assembly. To the left, a folding table holds tools and materials. Various tools, step stools, and a purple mat are scattered around the construction area. Beyond the patio, there is a manicured green lawn, mature trees (some bare, indicating early spring or late autumn), and a shed or garage structure in the background.

TIPS FOR PRE-ASSEMBLIES:
(Post and Beam Assemblies, Roof Rafter Assembly,etc)

  • Work on a raised, solid and flat surface such as, a table or saw horse.
  • Keep all connections flush where shown in the instructions.
  • When assembling the beams keep parts flat, straight and snug when
    connecting.
    METAL PARTS:
  • Roofing material may have sharp edges, wear safety gloves.
  • Remove all plastic covering, on both sides of the metal panels, directly
    before installing each piece.
  • Place roofing material on a non-abrasive surface before and after assembly
    as it can bend, dent and scratch easily.
  • The roofing screws can easily crush the roof panels and roof edges when
    using a power drill. We recommend hand tight
