Installing composite pergolas onto a straight flat surface is made easy with NeoTimber’s pergolas.<\/p><\/h2><\/span>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n

Our “out-the-box” hybrid composite pergola system<\/a> makes it easy to adapt to the specificities of your particular project. The below guide offers easy-to-understand instructions on installing composite railing, specifically how to securely fix the posts and railing sets to a conventional flat and straight surface.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #1.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Mark where the post mount (J-LV-0215-36) will be installed. The maximum distance of the post mount is 1910 mm (75.2″) from centre-to-centre as shown in diagram 1.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #2.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Cut post mount (J-LV-0215-36) to the length of 1130mm (44.49″) as shown in diagram 2. Cut post sleeve (N-JM088) to the length of 1160 mm (45.66″) as shown in diagram 3.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #3.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Install the post mount as shown in diagram 4, and fix with screw WJ0133. Then, install the post sleeve (N-JM088) as shown in diagram 5.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"installing<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"installing<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #4.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Mark where the post brackets will be installed with the “straight railing” cardboard template as shown in diagram 6. Use the top 4 holes for the top post brackets and use the bottom 2 holes for the bottom brackets as shown in diagram 7. The cardboard template location should be measured from the bottom. Use the cardboard template to leave a mark to outline where you will need to pre-drill. Remove the cardboard template before pre-drilling. Pre-drill post bracket holes with a 4mm (5\/32 inch) bit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #5.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Lower the post skirt (K-LV-0119) over the post sleeve (N-JM088) as shown in diagram 8. Drill in the top post brackets (D-R0211) with screw WJ0130 as shown in diagram 9. Drill in the bottom post brackets (G-R0205) with screw WJ0131 as shown in diagram 10.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"installing<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"installing<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #6.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Cut rail<\/a> (A-JM087) to the length between the post sleeve (N-JM088) minus 3mm (0.118″) on each side for inserting the gaskets (FR0102) as shown in diagram 11. Remember to take out the galvanised insert (B-LV-0209) before cutting rail<\/a> (A-JM087). The galvanised insert (B-LV-0209) should be cut 6mm shorter than the rail<\/a> (A-JM087). You must leave at least 75mm (2.953″) between the ends of the rail<\/a> and the first hole of each end as shown in diagram 12.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"installing<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"installing<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #7.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The bottom bracket (H-R0204) should be installed with screw WJ0020 as shown in diagram 13. A flat board can be used to press the bracket up against the end of the rail<\/a> to line up the correct distance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"installing<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #8.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Pre-drill and install the foot blocks (I-LV-0216) with screw WJ0020 on the bottom rail as shown in diagram 14. Foot blocks should be evenly spaced out depending on the length of the final rail<\/a> and cannot be installed underneath a pre-drilled baluster hole. The holes in the top rail (A) in diagram 15 should be facing downwards. The holes in the bottom rail (B) should be facing upwards.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"installing<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #9.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Attach the bottom rail (A-JM087) onto the bottom post brackets (G-R0205) as shown in diagram 16.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"installing<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #10.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Install the baluster plugs (E-LV-0218-B) and aluminium balusters (M-LV-0218-A-36) as shown in diagram 17.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #11.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Attach the galvanised adaptors (C-LV-0210) on both ends of the galvanised inserts (B-LV-0209) as shown in diagram 18.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"installing<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"installing<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #12.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Slide the galvanised insert (B-LV-0209) into the top rail<\/a> (A-JM087) as shown in diagram 19.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #13.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Attach the top rail<\/a> (A-JM087) onto the top of the post brackets (D-R0211) as shown in diagram 20.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"installing<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"installing<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #14.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Pre-drill and fix the top rail<\/a> with screw WJ0142 as shown in diagram 21. WJ0142 does not need to be completely fixed through the galvanised adaptors (C-LV-0210).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #15.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Fix post caps (L-LV-0120) with WJ2020 and gaskets (F-R0102) as shown in diagram 22.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Step #16.<\/span><\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

If needed, adjust the foot blocks (I-LV-0216) to the correct height as shown in diagram 23.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
