Hello,
I have installed six pier foundations in several stages underneath our terrace. Two pergolas from Pergolux will be set up here.
The foundations measure 40x40 cm (16x16 inches) or 50x40 cm (20x16 inches) and are each about 50 cm (20 inches) deep. Below them is a gravel layer approximately 30 cm (12 inches) thick.
The oldest foundation is about 8 days old, the newest one 4 days.
In recent days, the temperature has been around 10°C (50°F), sometimes up to 14°C (57°F), but at night it has dropped to around 5°C (41°F).
When can I start assembling the Pergolux and secure it to the foundations? The attachment will be done using stainless steel (V4A) concrete screws. Each Pergolux weighs about 200 kg (440 lbs) fully assembled. The larger foundations each support both pergolas placed side by side.
Thank you very much.

Therefore, I would need to additionally weigh down the pergola with about 189kg (417 lbs), and then it should work.Before you do that, I strongly recommend checking with the manufacturer to confirm whether you are allowed to add extra weight to the structure like that.
