Rackhams Rectangular Pergola And Decking Kit With Balustrade V.6 - Rustic Brown - 3m x 4.2m

"Designed for considered outdoor living, the Arbor Garden Solutions Rectangular Pergola and Decking Kit with Balustrade V.6 combines a pergola structure with a matching decking base and balustrade detailing. Supplied with pre-cut components and step-by-step instructions, it is intended to create a defined area in the garden or on a patio, with a level surface underfoot and a clear sense of structure for seating and outdoor use. For rectangular kits, the stated size reflects the total decking/base area rather than the pergola frame. The pergola is designed to span the full width and half the depth of the base; for a 2.4m x 3.0m base area, the structural post footprint would be approximately 2.4m x 1.5m, with a standard 45cm overhang on all sides. When planning furniture placement or base construction, refer to these internal dimensions.

Sweep regularly to remove leaves, dirt and debris. Every few months, wash using mild soap and water with a soft-bristle brush; avoid high pressure washer settings. Inspect at least once a year for loose screws, nails or cracked boards, tightening fasteners and replacing damaged boards as needed. Apply a wood sealant or stain every 1-3 years; a water sprinkle test can be used to check if sealing is needed (if water absorbs quickly, apply a new coat). In winter, clear snow with a plastic shovel and avoid harsh de-icing salts. Support & warranty Lifetime warranty covers manufacturing faults.
