👉 Orientation Notes
4 m (13 ft) = pergola width (attached to wall).
6 m (19 ft) = total projection (length), divided into two equal bays (≈ 9.5 ft each) with a shared center post.
All dimensions are shown in millimeters (mm), inches (in), and feet (ft).
📏 Wall-to-Post Measurements – 4 m (13 ft) Wall Side
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Wall to Inner Post | From wall surface to inner face of front post (usable depth). | 3705 mm | 145.87 in | 12.16 ft |
Wall to Outer Post | From wall surface to outer edge of front post (total projection). | 3825 mm | 150.59 in | 12.55 ft |
💡 Tip: Use 3825 mm (12.55 ft) when marking the distance from wall beam to front post footings.
⚙️ Wall-to-Baseplate Measurements – 4 m (13 ft) Wall Side
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Wall to Inner Baseplate | From wall to inner edge of baseplate. | 3675 mm | 144.68 in | 12.06 ft |
Wall to Outer Baseplate | From wall to outer edge of baseplate (max mount depth). | 3855 mm | 151.77 in | 12.65 ft |
💡 Tip: Leave ≈ 20 mm (¾ in) tolerance between wall beam and posts for alignment and sealant clearance.
📏 Post-to-Post Measurements – Per Bay (9.5 ft ≈ 2.9 m)
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Outer to Outer Post | Depth between outer edges of each bay’s front posts. | 2904 mm | 114.33 in | 9.53 ft |
Outer to Inner Post | Outer edge → inner edge within one bay. | 2784 mm | 109.61 in | 9.13 ft |
Inner to Inner Post | Clear open depth between inner faces (one bay). | 2664 mm | 104.88 in | 8.74 ft |
💡 Tip: Each bay shares a center post with the next section; measure each bay individually to ensure symmetry before anchoring.
⚙️ Baseplate-to-Baseplate Measurements – Per Bay
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Inner to Inner Baseplate | Between inner edges of each bay’s baseplates. | 2604 mm | 102.52 in | 8.54 ft |
Outer to Inner Baseplate | Outer → inner edge (one bay). | 2784 mm | 109.61 in | 9.13 ft |
Outer to Outer Baseplate | Outermost span (one bay). | 2964 mm | 116.69 in | 9.72 ft |
💡 Tip: Anchor holes should follow the outer-to-outer baseplate measurement (2964 mm / 9.72 ft) for each bay to maintain uniform spacing.
📏 Total End-Post Measurements – Full 19 ft (6 m) Length
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Outer End to Outer End Post | Full width across both bays (outer posts). | 5688 mm | 223.86 in | 18.66 ft |
Inner End to Inner End Post | Center-to-center between shared posts. | 5448 mm | 214.49 in | 17.87 ft |
💡 Tip: Verify 5688 mm (18.66 ft) as the total length when marking footer positions to ensure both bays align properly.
📐 Post Height Measurements
Measurement Type | Description | mm | in | ft |
Post Edge (ground) → Beam | Height to underside of beam. | 2330 mm | 91.73 in | 7.64 ft |
Outer to Outer Post Height | Full height from base to beam top. | 2503 mm | 98.54 in | 8.21 ft |
Post Edge (ground) → Open Louvers Top | Height to top of louvers when fully open. | 2560 mm | 100.79 in | 8.40 ft |
💡 Tip: Provide ≥ 100 mm (≈ 4 in) of clearance above the structure to allow smooth louver operation and prevent contact with eaves or gutters.
🧩 Installation Planning Tips
Ensure the mounting wall is solid concrete or reinforced masonry to support beam load.
Use outer-to-outer measurements to mark corners before pouring footers.
Recommended footer size: 400 × 400 mm (16 × 16 in), depth 400 mm (16 in).
Check level and square for each bay before connecting center posts.
Leave ~30 mm (1.2 in) clearance for alignment and expansion.
Tighten center-post bolts last after verifying beam connection and roof alignment.
