How to use shims to create a slope for a pergola cover.
How to measure slope
Why do you need slope?
Prevents pooling and leaking
Prevents algae and mold build-up
Increases the life of your pergola cover.
What you’ll need
48” level -or- small level with a 48” board
Tape measure or ruler
Ladder
For the most accurate measurement, you will need to measure on the top of your pergola.
Take your 48” long level or 48” long board with a small level sitting on top and lay it on the top of your pergola.
Raise the low end of the level / board until level.
Measure the distance between the pergola and the raised end of the level.
The Hercules system requires 1” or more of distance between the level and the raised end. The Apollo system requires 2” or more. If the measurements are less than those requirements, slope will need to be added.
*Tips*
Measure in multiple locations, such as the left, middle, and right side of your pergola.
We do not recommend measuring the height (from the ground to top of the pergola) of the front and back of your pergola to get the slope. Patios are often sloped downward from the house, which does not allow for an accurate slope measurement.
