Self-Installation

Our pergolas are designed for simple self-installation, just like IKEA flat packs! If you can do that, you can do this!

Our step-by-step assembly guide (included in the box) makes setup a breeze, allowing anyone to install them without prior experience. With just you and a friend, a few tools, some concentration and no corners cut, assembly typically takes 3-5 hours, depending on the pergola size.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Before you do anything, ensure your installation site meets the necessary base requirements. This step is crucial for the stability and longevity of your pergola and ensures a smooth installation and optimal performance. Check out Base Requirements here.

Every LuxSol Pergola comes with a comprehensive step-by-step assembly guide. For added convenience, our pergola assembly video walks you through each step, demonstrating how straightforward the installation process is.
