LINX Pergola & STIX Timber Installation Guide

[@ericgiarratano3524]

Do the 4x4s or 6x6s need to be cut a little longer than 12 ft in order to ensure the sun shade is taut or tight? Are there any tricks for ensuring the sun shade fits tight within the pergola posts?

This company has a BIG quality control problem. I bought four 6"x6" lynx tri-fit corner couplers. 3 of the 4 did not have sun shade holes drilled in them! I had to shop at multiple stored (100 miles in all) to find 3 which had been manufactured properly but could only find 2 corner couplers. I had to drill the 4 holes in the last one myself. Conclusion: CHECK EVERY BOX YOU BUY TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NOT A QUALITY PROBLEM. I then found out (after the fact) that the sunshade I wanted to buy for a 10'x12' pergola where $450 (it has to be custom made) whereas if I constructed a 12'x12' pergola was only $130. So a redesign of the landscaping was required. Then I bought the 12'x12' sun shade and found that the mounting brackets included are NOTHING like the ones shown in this video and will not hold the weight of the sun shade. I will have to make my own now. What a joke. If you call for customer support they are only open Monday thru Wednesday - not during the weekend or other days where the average homeowner who is installing this thing needs help or has to report quality problems can get any response. I should also add that this video seems to purposefully avoid close ups of the sunshade mounting system (bolt on brackets) - very fishy. Very dissatisfied.

What is the longest 4x4 span recommended? 12’?

Do. You make 4x4x12 stix
