- Attach Base Plates to Posts: Securely attach the base plates to the bottom of each Post (A1, A2) using the provided bolts and Allen key. Ensure all connections are tight.
- Assemble Lintel Beams: Connect the Lintel Beams (B1, B2, C1, C2) to the top of the posts. These beams form the upper square frame of the pergola. Use the provided bolts to secure them firmly.
- Install Corner Braces: Attach the Corner Braces (H1, H2) to the corners where the posts meet the lintel beams. These braces provide additional stability and strength to the structure.
- Attach Roof Tubes: Install the Roof Tubes across the top of the lintel beams. These tubes create the framework for the retractable shade. Ensure they are evenly spaced and securely fastened.
- Set up Guide System: Attach the guide system brackets to the posts. Insert the Guide Tubes into these brackets. This system allows the shade fabric to slide smoothly.
- Install Shade Fabric and Weight Bars: Slide the Shade Fabric onto the Roof Tubes. Insert the Weight Bars (E1, E2) into the bottom hem of each shade panel. This helps keep the fabric taut and allows for smooth retraction.

- Final Checks: Double-check all connections to ensure they are tight. Ensure the shade fabric slides freely along the guide system.
Operating Instructions
The EAGLE PEAK Gazebo Pergola features two independent adjustable canopies, allowing you to customize your shade and sunlight exposure.
- Adjusting the Shade: Each canopy panel can be moved independently along its guide system. Gently pull or push the shade fabric to extend or retract it to your desired position.
- Securing the Shade: When fully extended or retracted, ensure the shade panels are properly aligned and secured to prevent flapping in light breezes.
- Weather Conditions: In anticipation of strong winds, heavy rain, or snow, it is highly recommended to fully retract both shade panels to prevent damage to the fabric and the pergola structure.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your EAGLE PEAK pergola.
- Cleaning the Fabric: Clean the polyester canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow the fabric to air dry completely before retracting or storing.
- Frame Care: The steel frame is powder-coated for rust-resistance. Clean the frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Inspect for any scratches or chips in the coating and touch up with appropriate paint to prevent rust.
- Hardware Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose hardware to maintain the stability of the structure.
- Winter Storage: In areas with heavy snow or prolonged freezing temperatures, it is advisable to remove the canopy fabric and store it indoors to prevent damage. Consider disassembling the entire structure if severe weather is expected.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pergola feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose bolts or improper anchoring. | Ensure all bolts are securely tightened. Verify that the base is properly anchored to the ground using stakes or additional weights if necessary. |
| Canopy does not slide smoothly. | Obstruction in the guide system or misaligned fabric. | Check the guide tubes for debris or damage. Ensure the weight bars are correctly inserted and the fabric is not twisted. Lightly lubricate the guide system if needed. |
| Water pooling on canopy. | Improper tension or heavy rainfall. | Ensure the canopy is fully extended and taut. Retract the canopy during heavy rain to prevent water accumulation and potential damage. |
| Bent or damaged components upon arrival. | Shipping damage or manufacturing defect. | Contact EAGLE PEAK customer service immediately with proof of purchase and photos of the damaged parts for replacement. Do not attempt to assemble with damaged parts. |
