Important Safety Notice!

Yardistry components are intended for privacy, decorative and ornamental use only.

Product is NOT INTENDED for the following:

• A safety barrier to prevent unsupervised access to pools, hot tubs, spas or ponds.

• As load bearing support for a building, structure, heavy objects or swings.

• Used in structures that trap wind, rain or snow that would create extra load on the
product.

Accumulated snow must be removed from roof.

DO NOT climb or walk on roof for any reason.

Permanent structures may require a building permit. As the purchaser and or installer of this

product you are advised to consult local planning, zoning and building inspection departments for
guidance on applicable building codes and/or zoning requirements.

Wood is NOT ame retardant and will burn. Grills, re pits and chimineas are a re hazard if
placed too close to a Yardistry structure. Consult user’s manual of the grill, re pit or chimnea for

safe distances from combustible materials.

Wear gloves to avoid injury from possible sharp edges of individual elements before assembly.

During installation, follow all safety warnings provided with your tools and use OHSA
approved safety glasses. Some structures may require two or more people to install safely.

Check for underground utilities before digging or driving stakes into the ground!

It is important during assembly to closely follow the instructions, complete the assembly

on a solid level surface and that you follow the instruction to square up, level and anchor the
structure, this will reduce the gap at wood connections during assembly.

General Information

General Information: Wood components are manufactured with Cedar (C. Lanceolata)

which is protected with factory applied water-based stain. Knots, small checks (cracks)
and weathering are naturally occurring and do not affect the strength of the product.
Annual application of a water-based water repellent sealant or stain is important and will
help reduce weathering and checks.

Instructions for Proper Maintenance

Your Yardistry structure is designed and constructed of quality materials. As with all outdoor
products it will weather and wear. To maximize the enjoyment, safety and life of your structure
it is important that you, the owner, properly maintain it.

HARDWARE:

• Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a non-lead paint complying
with 16 CFR 1303.

• Inspect and tighten all hardware after completion of assembly; after rst month of use; and
then annually. Do not over-tighten as to cause crushing and splintering of wood.

• Check for sharp edges or protruding screw threads, add washers if required.

WOOD PARTS:

• Applying a water repellent or stain (water-based) on a yearly basis is important
maintenance to maintain maximum life and performance of the product.

• Check all wood members for deterioration, structural damage and splintering. Sand down
splinters and replace deteriorated wood members. As with all wood, some checking and
small cracks in grain is normal

• Some gapping may occur at some wood connections.

Assembly Guides

Tools Required:

• Tape Measure

• Carpenters Level

• Standard or Cordless Drill

• #2 Phillips Bit or Screwdriver

• 7/16” & 9/16” Wrench

Symbols:

Throughout these instructions symbols are provided in the top, right-hand corner of the page.

• Use Help, where this is shown, 2, 3 or 4
people are required to safely complete
this step. To avoid injury or damage to the
assembly make sure to get some help.

• Pre-drill a pilot hole before fastening
screw or lag to prevent splitting of wood.

• 8’ Step Ladder

• Safety Glasses

• Adult Helper

• Safety Gloves

• Hard Hat

• 6’ Step Ladder x 2

• Square

Assembly Tips

Following are some helpful tips to make the assembly process smooth and efcient.

PRE-ASSEMBLIES:
(i.e. Post and Beam Assemblies, Roof Rafter Assembly, etc)

• Work on a raised, solid and at surface such as, a table or saw horse.

• Keep all connections ush where shown in the instructions.

• When assembling the beams keep parts at, straight and snug when
connecting.

METAL PARTS:

• Roong material may have sharp edges, wear safety gloves.

• Remove all plastic covering, on both sides of the metal panels, directly
before installing each piece.

• Place roong material on a non-abrasive surface before and after assembly
as it can bend, dent and scratch easily.

• The roong screws can easily crush the roof panels and roof edges when

using a power drill. We recommend hand tightening the roong screws so
they sit snug and tight to the roong material.

Permanent Installation Examples

Note: It is critically important you start with square, solid and level footings, concrete
pad or deck to attach your Pergola Room.

We supply Post Mounts with this structure which gives you the exibility to permanently install your structure

to a pre-existing or new wood or concrete surface.

• The hardware to attach the Post Mount to the structure is included.

• The hardware to mount the structure permanently will need to be purchased separately at your local
hardware store.

If you are mounting to concrete footers see below for the correct locations and placement. Please double
check for possibility of any underground utilities such as gas, telephone, cable or sprinkler lines.

Following are some examples of how to mount the structure to wood or concrete surfaces.

Refer to your local building and city codes, ordinances, neighbourhood covenants, or height restrictions
regarding this type of structure for guidance on acceptable installation requirements.

Step 2: Post Assemblies

A: At the bottom of each (752) Post insert two 5/16” T-Nuts as shown in g. 2.1 and 2.2.

B: At the bottom of each (752) Post place two Post Mounts tight to the bottom and inside faces as shown in g. 2.1

and 2.2. Loosely attach with one 5/16 x 1-1/4” Hex Bolt (with 5/16” lock washer and 1/4-5/16” large washer) per
mount so they connect to the T-Nuts.

C: On each side of the Posts, place one (738) Plinth ush to the bottom and attach with four #8 x 1-1/2” Wood
Screws per plinth. Rounded edges on top. (g. 2.1 and 2.3)

D: From the bottom of each Post Mount attach to posts with two #8 x 1-1/2” Wood Screws per mount and then from
the inside with two #10 x 1-1/4” Pan Screws per mount These screws are installed at a slight angle. Tighten all

bolts. There will be four Post Assemblies. (g. 2.4)
