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.
The First Step
The First Step is to line up your posts with the post mount brackets so you can drill the proper holes. Watch our Lining Up Posts & Brackets video to the right.
- Line up Post Mount on bottom of post and mark hole location.
- Using OLT’s footprint, drill holes in your foundation for Post Mount Rebar.
- Make sure Post Mounts Brackets are installed at the proper height, adjust as necessary.
- Fill drilled hole with Exterior Epoxy Glue as well as apply to Rebar Post.
- Push or bang Post Mount Bracket in hole and let expoxy cure.
- Line up Pergola Post holes previously marked with Post Mount Bracket holes.
- Slide 6” carriage bolt through holes.
- Slip washer on and tighten nut with wrench.
- Complete remaining posts.
The Second Step
Different surfaces will require different styles of post mounts. The Second Step is to follow the specific instructions for either an Existing Slab Installation, or for Concrete Set Up Installation

Shipping
Liftgate Delivery
If you ordered a liftgate delivery:
The driver will take your skid to the back of the truck, place it on the liftgate, lower it to the ground and place it next to the truck.
- Use the plastic shipping tarp to cover and protect your pieces until you are ready start your project. When finished using it for this…repurpose it!
- If liftgated down, take a minute or two to cut the straps and pull off the tarp. Check for corner damages, wood chips, sharp cuts and gauges in the product and if the pallet is broken.
Hand Offload Only:
If you did NOT order Liftgate Delivery, you will have to hand offload:
The driver will take your skid to the back of the truck, cut the straps and hand the pieces down to you. Most individual pieces weigh no more than 30-50 lbs.
- There is a time limit of 15-20 free minutes so it is best to have someone there to assist you.
- If hand offloading, briefly check all the pieces as they are handed to you.
