Bought a kit? We assemble and install it correctly, with proper footings, hardware and bracing the instructions often skip.
Kits make pergolas affordable and convenient, but they arrive as a pile of parts and a set of instructions that assume a level lawn, perfect weather and a helper. Assembly takes more time than people expect, and anchoring is where kits often fall short.
We unpack, inventory and assemble your kit, then set it on footings or approved anchors suited to your site. We level, square and brace the frame, check every fastener and add hardware where the instructions call for more strength. The result is a kit pergola that is steady and ready for years of use. Kits are a smart way to start, and we make them go together properly. We check the parts against the packing list, lay out the footprint with string and stakes, square the frame and tighten every bracket to the maker guidance. If a kit is a little light for your span or your wind exposure, we explain what to add, such as heavier beams or extra braces, so the finished structure feels solid and not wobbly.
Missing or damaged parts are common. We count and inspect everything first, so problems are caught before the frame goes up.
Many kits show ground stakes that do little in real wind. We recommend proper footings or anchors for your surface and soil.
A frame that is slightly out of square looks wrong and stresses the joints. We check and correct as we assemble.
We can add stain, better brackets, lighting or a different roof to make a kit feel custom.
