WHAT TYPE OF WOOD CAN I USE WHEN BUILDING A LINX PERGOLA?

You can use any straight and dry standard size 4×4 or 6×6 posts available at your local lumber retailer. Cedar and Redwood are two of the most

popular choices for pergola projects. However, depending on your budget, you could use pressure-treated wood (least expensive) or choose a

tropical hardwood like Ipe (most expensive).

Note: Lumber dimensions for standard 4×4 wood posts are 3.5”x3.5” and 6×6 wood posts are 5.5”x5.5”

I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH SCREWS?

e most likely reason is that all (3) screw holes in the bracket sides were lled with screws. ONLY (4) screws per post/beam are required to

achieve optimal structural integrity based on engineering reports completed on all of our products.

at means (2) screws per side, see illustration below. e 3rd hole is le empty for attaching the sunshade bracket if used (see illustration

below) or for other accessories that may be attached. If you still need additional screws please contact the store/dealer where you made your

purchase.

HOW ARE THE LINX BRACKETS CONSTRUCTED?

Constructed of high-grade steel, we use 50% thicker steel than other products that provide strength and long-lasting durability. Precision weld-

ing leaves the inside tube free and clear allowing for standard 4×4 and 6×6 posts attaching with ease, with no need for sanding or planing. LINX

brackets go through a rigorous process of galvanization, primer, ending with durable long-lasting powder-coated nishes. We also take the extra

step of powder coating our fasteners to match our brackets for that nished look! Using thin gauge steel and spot welded at the seams, and lled

with 24 holes for attachment screws.

IS THE SUNSHADE WATERPROOF?

No, the sunshade material is permeable (water will ow thru) and is not designed to be waterproof.

WHAT MATERIAL IS THE HAMMOCK MADE OUT OF?

Marine-grade Dacron® Sailcloth with a maximum weight capacity of 500lbs. e Sailcloth includes a UV Inhibitor to increase durability.

WHAT IS THE TYPICAL HEIGHT WHEN BUILDING A PERGOLA?

e most common height of pergolas is approximately 8’. Using an 8’ post the overall height when using 4×4 brackets is 8’ 4”, and when using

6×6 brackets is 8’ 6”. Please consult your local building department.

FAQS DO YOU HAVE BRACKETS THAT FIT ROUGH SAWN 4X4 AND 6X6 POSTS? The LINX brackets were designed to be used with standard 4×4 and 6×6 lumber with actual dimensions of 3.5”x3.5” and 5.5”x5.5” respectively, with NO planing or sanding required. The dimensions on rough sawn lumber can vary depending on a number of factors, including how it was milled and the moisture content at the time of your build.
