Pergola installation begins before delivery: confirm foundations, dimensions, levels, drainage, power, access, lifting and component storage against approved drawings. Assembly should follow the project-specific LUCY manual and local requirements. This guide defines coordination stages only; it does not replace model drawings, engineering approval or qualified electrical work.

| Concept | Approved drawings and revision control |
| Quotation | Foundation elevations and anchor layout |
| Approval | Safe lifting and temporary bracing |
| Installation | Hold a pre-installation review with responsible trades |
Key facts
These facts separate confirmed system relationships from information that still requires a project or LUCY technical document.
| Topic | Current guidance |
|---|---|

Why it matters
A correctly manufactured pergola can still fail to drain or operate if foundations are out of level, the frame is not square, fixings differ from the approved basis or cables obstruct moving and drainage zones.
How it works
The installer checks the site, receives labeled packs, establishes the structural grid, assembles and braces the frame, installs roof and accessories, completes local connections, then tests movement and water paths before handover.
Engineering considerations
Resolve these items before final drawings or ordering.
- Approved drawings and revision control
- Foundation elevations and anchor layout
- Safe lifting and temporary bracing
- Waterproof building interfaces
- Electrical responsibility and final commissioning

Installation considerations
The approved project documents take precedence over this general guide.
- Hold a pre-installation review with responsible trades
- Photograph concealed anchors, cables and drains
- Provide operators with controls, limits, cleaning and maintenance information
Common mistakes
Avoid decisions based only on a catalogue name or a generic online figure.
- Starting before foundations are verified
- Using an old drawing revision
- Forcing misaligned roof components
- Skipping drainage and full-travel tests
Project example
No client-authorized LUCY case with verified dimensions, engineering criteria and owned photography is currently available for this topic. The scenarios above are planning guidance, not claims about a completed project. Add a real case only after written authorization and technical verification.

Common questions
Does pergola installation guide provide final engineering approval?+
No. It explains coordination inputs. Final design and local approval require verified product data, project criteria and responsible professionals.
Can catalogue dimensions be used for construction?+
No. Use only the dimensions and details shown on approved project drawings and the final quotation.
What should be sent to LUCY first?+
Send location, intended use, dimensions, site photos or drawings, support conditions and requested accessories.
