FAQ

Can I install the pergola myself?

Yes, this is possible provided you have sufficient technical knowledge, the correct tools, and at least two people to carry out the installation.

How long does an installation take?

On average, installation takes about half a day. The exact duration depends on the model, experience level, and preparation.

What if I don’t have a solid foundation?

In that case, a foundation must be prepared first. This means digging a hole for each post and pouring a concrete footing, optionally using quick-setting concrete. This ensures the pergola can be properly anchored with concrete anchors. Without a solid foundation, installation cannot begin.

What if parts are missing?

Do not start the installation and contact Skyggo for support.

Is a solid foundation mandatory?

Yes. The pergola must always be installed on a stable and level surface.

What if I have questions during installation?

First, consult the installation manual and assembly video in our Helpcenter.
