Follow the included assembly instructions and diagrams to locate the positions of the legs. Each leg is drilled on its bottom to receive the stainless steel bolt shown in the picture above. You screw the bolt into your surface and set the legs down over the bolt.

The Garden Room gets delivered with the three legs and two lattice panels fully assembled. You just set the leg assembly over the bolt and it is located perfectly. The next step is to install the pre-assembled head beams. They just slide into place. Two people should work together to fit the head beams.

The head beams get secured in place with one three inch screw on each end. These screw holds get plugged near the end of the assembly.


With the four corners and four head beams in place it is time to place your entablatures. Entablatures are the horizontal beams that rest atop the corner assemblies. Choose the most beautiful side of the most beautiful board to face your house and set it on the shoulders of the legs. Screw through the legs into the backside of the entablature.


The first set of entablatures are notched to receive the perpendicular set. There are eight pieces all together.

The rafters are also notched on their tops to receive the purlins which are notched on their bottoms. Everything just fits together. The parts may need to be wiggled or thumped to get a perfect fit. We allow only 20 thousandths of an inch tolerance so every joint fits tight and stays tight.

Now it's time to move in the deck furniture and call your friends. Have a good time!
