Introduction
Thank you for your purchase from The Outdoor GreatRoom Company. This pergola has been engineered and manufactured in
the USA. This user manual will help make the installation and setup of your new pergola fast and easy. 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 stained via submersion to ensure even penetration. It is
recommended that the pergola receive a clear, oil-based stain yearly to maintain the color, minimize warping and prevent rot-
ting. Every few years a colored oil based stain should be used to keep the original color.
Important:
• Anchoring Required—Contact your local authority for details
• Read instructions prior to assembly
• Assistance is required and we recommend at least 2 people for installation
• Do not let wood pergolas sit on bare ground. Over time this can cause moisture damage and rotting of wood.
• If you have questions contact the place of purchase
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
affect the structural strength and integrity of the product nor does it affect or void the warranty.
