Description

The Bolt Down Bracket System enables pergola owners to mount their pergola safely and securely to a wood deck or cement patio. Simply measure your footprint and bolt the galvanized steel brackets into place. Insert 4 x 4 (10cm X 10cm) pressure treated wood posts (purchased separately) into the brackets and screw them in place. Slide your pergola posts over the wood posts and screw the pergola posts into the wood.  

The result is a lasting installation that is safe and secure. This mounting system was specifically designed for Vita brand pergolas. We highly recommend that if you are installing any of these vinyl pergolas on a flat surface, you purchase this kit. The mounting system includes 2, 3, or 4 galvanized steel brackets and the necessary 1.5" (3.8cm) self-tapping screws for securing the wood posts.  

Please note: Extra materials and hardware are required to install the Vita pergola with the bolt-down brackets. Please review the pergola installation guide for more details.

Important Note: DO NOT use the bolt down bracket system for installing the pergola over concrete pavers, patio stones, or interlocking bricks. Only compatible with our 5x5 vinyl posts.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE

    I built a small deck off my screen porch so that I could place my triangle pergola from Vita. I cannot express how much I love it! It is unique and creates a reflection spot for me. I am putting a cedar glider under it and hanging some plants off it. I have also installed two Vita arbors in the front garden of my home. To say I am a Vita fan is putting it lightly!

    Hi Cindy, thank you for sharing your photo of this dreamy, happy-place! We love what you've done with the Alcove Corner Pergola here, this spot looks so welcoming. We would love to see what you've done with your arbors as well, thanks for the support, we appreciate you!

    Excellent craftsmanship

    The whole pergola itself went together amazingly well. And is sturdy. The brackets that are recommended for mounting the pergola to the deck and or concrete are a lot more beefy then the 4"X4" ones you'll find at the big box stores. And they are a nice tight fit to the 4"X4". Highly recommend the pergola and the brackets.

    Hi Todd! We're so glad to hear that you're happy with your pergola installation. Thanks so much for the kind words!

    Did NOT fit 4x4 post as advertised

    Well made brackets, BUT there are several issues regarding fit. First of all, a treated 4x4 post is a VERY tight fit-in fact I have had to remove small amounts of wood in order to get them into the bracket completely. Secondly, the fit of the bracket into the vinyl post is impossibly tight. In order to make these work I will have to hand fit each post by removing material and beveling edges in the hope that I will be able to (somehow) get these to fit. Had I known these issues ahead of time I would have tried a different setup, but the cement is poured and my options are few. I have had my own construction company in the past so I know my way around building and construction. I was reluctant go with a vinyl product and my concerns about vinyl's adaptability have been confirmed. Be cautious of vinyl's limitations and DO NOT waste your time with these brackets
