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.

Just a quick question—how did you handle the drainage? With the Pergolux, there is an opening at the bottom of the post. The water drains beneath the panels into the gravel.

WilderSueden5 Apr 2024 09:47I wouldn’t do that with our clay soil; you’d end up with a bathtub, and after rain or melting snow combined with frost, it could cause problems. If possible, I would install a PVC drain pipe to the cistern or rainwater drainage system. It’s not very expensive and can be done easily as a DIY project.

Hello. Does anyone happen to have one with wall mounting and can tell me what diameter the screws for the wall fixing elements need to be? The diameters for the floor fasteners would also be helpful, so I can prepare the fixing materials in advance. Unfortunately, the manual doesn’t say anything about this.
