Project brief #
Transfer pergola loads through a designed structure, not through surface boards alone. Coordinate posts with board movement and drainage, and preserve access to anchors before the deck closes the area.
Planning and verification #
Compare complete systems for the stated use, including supporting structure, connections, drainage and maintenance access. Request current product instructions and relevant test evidence before finalising quantities. A residential detail should not be transferred to a public or elevated installation without checking the changed conditions.
Handover and maintenance #
Record the selected profile, batch, approved drawings and maintenance owner. Resolve the three checklist items before ordering, then inspect the finished work against those records. Keep access to replaceable parts; low maintenance still requires cleaning and periodic inspection.
