What would you recommend for bolting the legs down into a wooden deck for this pergola?

Unfortunatley, we do not have any suggestions. It would depend on how think your wood is that you are bolting this to. You may want to check with a local hardware store.

They say pound legs into ground- that's the stakes!! In addition to that go to hardware store & buy 3-4' sections of rebar pound in next to legs- wind stainless steel wire & wrap & tighten around legs-.that's what I did!!

There is a bracket that screws into the deck or some flat surface on the deck. The surface must be about 24 in. long. It works very well.

You can use eye bolts from a hardware store, just pre-drill a small hole and screw in the eye bolt, then you can then hang the swing from there.

Strongly suggest you did what we did...get some short rebar rods and pound them in along-side the legs. Then tether them to the legs with cable ties. No chance of winds blowing it over now.

I used small tomato cages with the legs bent or cut in half & a small bunge cord to secure. That worked just fine. The plastic side bracket looked weak, so went with the cage. Go with the corner poles.

If you are using it in your house, find a suitable ceiling joist. I used a ny-glide swing hanger (found on amazon) then the rotational device and heavy duty caribiner.

I put a screw (drill pilot hole first) into each leg near the bottom and attached it to our deck.

Buy wood shims. Thats what i did and it made it nice and tight fit. A 4x4 post will not be a tight fit on its own. Add some shims and it'll be perfect. Mine is rock solid after i sunk it in Quikcrete

Flange is sturdy but I personally wouldn't use for anything higher than deck railing height. I would use metal/steel for Pergola vs. plastic.

Not sure, I used an older umbrella weight on the bottom to hold it in place. If it will be on a deck, can always screw it down.

Home depot has a entire 60 page pdf file you can download for free(google it)page 33 and 34 shows how to install. Just use deck screws 4 on each side 2 in the top. Drill hole throught top beam, put carriage bolt all the way through top and tighten down with lock washerand nut.

I don't know but any with a hook should work. Just avoid having the bottom as the heaviest part to avoid/reduce swinging. I don't have a problem with my setup and don't use any extra fasteners.

I can't wait to hang ours on our porch. Large screw in hooks can damage trees. I have seen a a regular swing hung with thick strapping. An arborist may have a suggestion.

use sand bags or fill with sand - per instructions that should have come with your steps.Also, ours have brackets on the handrail that are to mount to the deck.

Mostly just screwing the legs in. It comes with a piece that lines the bottom piece which you'll need like a screwdriver for.

We have found that the "best" method over time is to cut or buy from hdwr store a a length of wood about 2" wide by 1/2" thick, and slightly longer than the two swing connections. This can then be fastened into the stud very sturdily and the swing gate hardware is then screwed into the wood. We have found it's not necessary to do the same on the other side,
