POST MOUNT BRACKETS
We recommend using a Post Mount Bracket to secure pergola posts to your foundation.
Although the pergola is stable and strong without installing a bracket, installation of the brackets will firm up the structure and lessen the amount of sway that may occur with your structure. In areas of high winds, please check with your local building authority to confirm suitability
STEP 1. Line up your posts with the post mount brackets so you can drill the proper holes
STEP 2. Line Up Posts & Brackets
INSTRUCTIONS
- Line up the post mount on the bottom of the post and mark the hole location.
- Using OLT’s footprint, drill holes in your foundation for post-mount rebar.
- Make sure post mount brackets are installed at the proper height, adjust as necessary.
- Fill the drilled hole with exterior epoxy glue as well as apply it to the rebar post.
- Push or bang the post mount bracket in the hole and let the epoxy cure.
- Line up pergola post holes previously marked with post mount bracket holes.
- Slide 6” carriage bolt through holes.
- Slip the washer on and tighten the nut with a wrench.

Site Prep
Preparing the site appropriately is crucial for the successful installation of sheds, gardens, gazebos, playhouses, or pergolas. A comprehensive assessment of the site helps to safeguard the structural soundness and durability of these outdoor fixtures. Removing debris from the area, ensuring the ground is level, and evaluating soil drainage can mitigate potential problems down the line. Proper site preparation aids in preventing water buildup which could result in early rotting and damage. Furthermore, it guarantees a stable and even base, avoiding any structural instability. Dedicating time to adequate site prep before initiating a project guarantees that your investment will be safe, durable, and aesthetically pleasing for many years.
Please keep in mind: Some municipalities mandate building permits before installation. We encourage all customers to verify these specifics with their local county/municipality prior to buying any of our products as this is your sole responsibility.
