how far does it stretch to know where to put the posts?

It really depends what kind of heat (direct sun you get you will get a little more stretch with more heat. I recommend placing your posts a bit further out then you think. Using the hooks that tighten and then as sun and age stretch the material, you have a little play room. hope this helps. We have used ours for several years and are really happy,better them tons of umbrellas. just know as the summer wears on you may want to take up some of the slack.

Shade is 12 x 12, rope attachment can be 2 feet beyond in any direction, material doesn't stretch any amount for additional shade. Longer ropes can be used beyond 12 x 12 in order to attach sail.

I agree with the others about setting posts further than the 12ft. I have chains attached to the house, about 1ft and then my posts are 14ft from the house also with some short chains. Rope is included with the shade to adjust to the correct distance, so my thoughts would be 14-15ft.

I put mine out about 15ft. It definitely stretches a bit, but the distance seems perfect. This is my second one using the same posts. You will find each season they stretch just a little more.

I'm not familiar with that goal, but if the brackets don't fit, it won't work. The main post has to be a square 5x5

I'm not sure about putting it together like that. You would lose some stability because there would be nothing to keep the posts in place. Don't think that would work.

Personally I believe it should. I have something close. They Do stick out past the posts a bit with the frame we are using. Hope this helps

mine is mounted on a greenhouse frame to exclude rabbits, the posts are four feet apart, there is some sagging

It depends on what the posts look like. You need a post that is wide enough to support the part that has the lines. The other post needs to just be wide enough for the bracket that is about 4-5 inches wide. Hope that helps!

The post is about that high...depending on how deep you put it into the ground. My engineer son dug me a hole to China so that it would be ok during weather. It is about four feet in each direction from the corner post. I love it. The quality is excellent. I'd had one before from Home Depot that was not nearly as good.

Not exactly. You'd have to cut or file the post down for it to fit. We put them on top of 4" x 4"s and we had to sand/file them in places where the wood wasn't exactly 4" x 4"

It is designed for a four inch post. Suppose you could gerryrig it. The lights are spectacular and a great size. Work great. Think it would be worth the effort. Lois

If you are referring to heighth of post it will not matter if its not free standing, meaning you are attaching top of post to something sturdy.

We set our posts directly at corners of tarp. The tarp was very difficult to prevent sagging. We rigged a pulley system and even then it sagged. We seldom use because of the sagging.

not sure, but the rack part you can adjust it to be farther back, but not sure if that would put more strain on the seat post.

The posts are 7 feet the Pergola itself 105 inches I would like to know if the 7 feet is Center or outside of the posts

It depends on how wide the post is. If the post is really slim it will not work.

The posts are 3 x 3 od. The are ~1/8 inch thick. They are hollow. I could not get a id measurement because they are in the ground.

If you use the post holes, you will have 1 1/2"-1 3/4" inches depending which row of holes you use. If you need to hang them, you will have 2 inches.

From my installation (and I am totally going on memory here, so no promises) it's a little over 3". The posts are centered vertically and just a bit in from each side.
