Vinyl Column Assembly & Installation

Over Wood Posts

12 x 12 Flat Top Pergola

Using the vinyl weld glue, insert the One Way 4”x4” Internal

Wood Post Guide in the one end of the main column posts.

This step is only applicable if your wood 4x4 post are embedded

into the ground. If your pergola is going to be installed on

wood or concrete surface, please dispose of these four pieces.

Using a step ladder, guide the bottom vinyl columns over the

wood 4x4 posts

Using a step ladder guide the top vinyl columns over the

wood 4x4 posts.

Please Note:

Ensure that holes at top of column are orientated correctly for

future beam and rafter placement. See diagram at top of next page.

Connect the bottom and top vinyl column by using vinyl weld

and sliding together.

Please Note: Vinyl Weld Glue has about a

sixty second cure time and about a

20 minute dry time.

Slide the bottom post trim into position to cover the joint on

the column.

Slide the top post trim into approximate position just below the

bottom routed hole on the bottom of the top vinyl column assembly.

Final adjust post heights accordingly to ensure future level

installation of beams and rafters as necessary. If slope is severe

causing a height difference between the posts, you may need

to trim down the top of two or more of your vinyl columns

as necessary.

Secure the vinyl columns to the wood posts using 4 – 2 1/2“

self-auguring stainless steel screws at 8” up from the base

of the posts, and 4 – 2 1/2” self-auguring stainless steel screws

just above the trim cap as illustrated. This will prevent possible

uplift during high winds,

etc.
