📏 Wall-to-Post Measurements – 3 m (10 ft) Wall Side
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Wall to Inner Post | Distance from the wall surface to the inner face of the front post. Defines the pergola’s usable interior depth. | 2690 mm | 105.91 in | 8.83 ft |
Wall to Outer Post | Distance from the wall to the outer edge of the front post. Defines the total projection of the pergola. | 2810 mm | 110.63 in | 9.22 ft |
💡 Tip: The wall-to-outer-post measurement (2810 mm / 9.22 ft) is the value to use when marking how far your pergola extends from the wall face.
⚙️ Wall-to-Baseplate Measurements – 3 m (10 ft) Wall Side
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Wall to Inner Baseplate | From the wall to the inner edge of the baseplate. | 2660 mm | 104.72 in | 8.73 ft |
Wall to Outer Baseplate | From the wall to the outer edge of the baseplate. Defines the maximum footprint from the wall surface. | 2840 mm | 111.81 in | 9.32 ft |
💡 Tip: When mounting to a concrete pad, ensure baseplates sit level and parallel to the wall.
Add ~20 mm (¾ in) allowance between wall bracket and beam for alignment.
📏 Post-to-Post Measurements – 3 m (10 ft) Front Side
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Outer to Outer Post | Distance between the outermost edges of both posts. Defines the pergola’s front width. | 2930 mm | 115.35 in | 9.61 ft |
Outer to Inner Post | From the outer edge of one post to the inner edge of the opposite post. | 2810 mm | 110.63 in | 9.22 ft |
Inner to Inner Post | Clear space between inside faces of both posts. Represents your usable span. | 2690 mm | 105.91 in | 8.83 ft |
💡 Tip: Measure this span before drilling anchor holes to confirm spacing matches the beam length.
⚙️ Baseplate-to-Baseplate Measurements – 3 m (10 ft) Front Side
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Inner to Inner Baseplate | Between the inner edges of both baseplates. | 2630 mm | 103.54 in | 8.63 ft |
Outer to Inner Baseplate | Outer edge → inner edge. | 2810 mm | 110.63 in | 9.22 ft |
Outer to Outer Baseplate | Full width across both baseplates. | 2990 mm | 117.72 in | 9.81 ft |
💡 Tip: Use 2990 mm (9.81 ft) as the baseplate-to-baseplate span when marking anchor bolt positions across the front posts.
📐 Post Height Measurements
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Post Edge (ground) → Beam | Height from the ground to the underside of the beam. | 2350 mm | 92.52 in | 7.71 ft |
Outer to Outer Post Height | Total height from base to top beam edge. | 2503 mm | 98.54 in | 8.21 ft |
Post Edge (ground) → Open Louvers Top | Maximum height from ground to the top of louvers when fully open. | 2560 mm | 100.79 in | 8.40 ft |
💡 Tip: Allow at least 100 mm (≈ 4 in) of overhead clearance above the beam or louvers for free operation and airflow.
🧩 Installation Planning Tips
Confirm wall strength. Ensure the mounting wall is reinforced masonry or concrete capable of supporting beam load.
Check level alignment. The wall beam must sit perfectly level with the front beam before securing bolts.
Footer recommendation: Each front post should sit on a 400 × 400 mm (16 × 16 in) concrete pad, 400 mm (16 in) deep.
Leave 30 mm (1.2 in) clearance between layout marks and actual footer edges for adjustment.
Verify squareness by checking both diagonals (they must be equal).
