Arbor Garden Solutions Rectangular Pergola and Decking Kit With Balustrades V.2

Create a defined outdoor area with the Arbor Garden Solutions Rectangular Pergola and Decking Kit With Balustrades V.2, designed as a coordinated pergola and decking solution with pre-cut components and step-by-step instructions. The kit is intended to provide a level walking surface that helps connect different parts of a garden or patio, while the pergola and balustrades add structure and a finished look to the space.

Rectangular sizing is based on the total decking/base area rather than the pergola frame. The pergola is designed to span the full width and half the depth of the base, with a standard 45cm overhang on all sides (front/back and sides). For example, where the listed size is 2.4m x 3.0m, the structural post footprint would be approximately 2.4m x 1.5m; refer to these internal dimensions when planning furniture placement or base construction.

How to assemble

• Prepare the area by ensuring a flat, level surface before assembling the frame

• Install the pergola structure by positioning the upright posts, attaching runners and rafters, and securing via the pre-drilled holes using the included fixings
• Attach the pre-assembled balustrades, ensuring they are aligned and securely fixed
• Tools required: electric screwdriver, drill, socket wrench, spirit level, ladder
• Assembly also references a 10mm socket and screwdriver; a battery-operated model is recommended for efficiency

Treatment & maintenance

Please note that due to the inherent characteristics of natural timber, product colours may vary from those depicted.

• Sweep regularly to remove leaves, dirt, and debris
• Every few months, wash using mild soap and water with a soft-bristle brush
• Avoid using pressure washers at high settings
• Inspect at least once a year for loose screws, nails, or cracked boards; tighten fasteners and replace damaged boards if needed
• Apply a wood sealant or stain every 1-3 years; if water sprinkled on the boards absorbs quickly, apply a new coat of sealant
• Use rubber or felt pads under furniture legs to help prevent scratches
• Keep planters elevated with stands to allow air circulation and help prevent trapped moisture
• Choose breathable outdoor rugs that do not retain moisture
• In winter, clear snow with a plastic shovel rather than metal
• Avoid harsh de-icing salts
