📏 Wall-to-Post Measurements – 3 m (10 ft) Wall Side
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Wall to Inner Post | 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 | From the wall surface 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) represents the pergola’s full extension from your wall to the outer edge of the post.
⚙️ Wall-to-Baseplate Measurements – 3 m (10 ft) Wall Side
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Wall to Inner Baseplate | From the wall surface 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 pergola’s maximum mounting footprint. | 2840 mm | 111.81 in | 9.32 ft |
💡 Tip: Allow a small 20 mm (≈ ¾ in) tolerance between wall beam and post alignment to simplify assembly and leveling.
📏 Post-to-Post Measurements – 4 m (13 ft) Front Side
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Outer to Outer Post | Distance between the outermost edges of both posts. Defines the total front width. | 3971 mm | 156.38 in | 13.03 ft |
Outer to Inner Post | From the outer edge of one post to the inner edge of the opposite post. | 3851 mm | 151.65 in | 12.64 ft |
Inner to Inner Post | Clear open space between both inner post faces. Represents the usable span between posts. | 3731 mm | 146.93 in | 12.24 ft |
💡 Tip: Use the outer-to-outer post measurement (3971 mm / 13.03 ft) when marking anchor hole positions across the pergola’s front side.
⚙️ Baseplate-to-Baseplate Measurements – 4 m (13 ft) Front Side
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Inner to Inner Baseplate | Distance between inner edges of both baseplates. | 3671 mm | 144.53 in | 12.04 ft |
Outer to Inner Baseplate | From outer edge of one baseplate to inner edge of the opposite. | 3851 mm | 151.65 in | 12.64 ft |
Outer to Outer Baseplate | Full span across both outermost baseplate edges. Defines the maximum front footprint. | 4031 mm | 158.70 in | 13.23 ft |
💡 Tip: Always verify that your baseplate anchors align with the outer-to-outer baseplate width (4031 mm / 13.23 ft) for a level, stable frame.
📐 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 | Full height from bottom of post to top beam edge. | 2503 mm | 98.54 in | 8.21 ft |
Post Edge (ground) → Open Louvers Top | Ground to top of louvers when fully open. | 2560 mm | 100.79 in | 8.40 ft |
💡 Tip: Leave at least 100 mm (≈ 4 in) of overhead clearance above the pergola to allow free louver rotation and airflow.
🧩 Installation Planning Tips
Confirm wall strength: The wall beam must be attached to a reinforced masonry or concrete wall capable of bearing structural load.
Verify level alignment: Use a laser or bubble level to ensure the wall beam and front beam are parallel before tightening bolts.
Footer size recommendation: Each front post should rest on a 400 × 400 mm (16 × 16 in) concrete footer, 400 mm (16 in) deep.
Mark accurately: Use the outer-to-outer post distance to outline corners before drilling anchors.
Double-check squareness: Measure diagonals — both should match for a perfectly square setup.
Allow minor adjustments: Keep a 30 mm (≈ 1.2 in) clearance around the planned footprint for fine alignment.
