I have designed and built a number of Pergola’s and this one is a great one for any skill level, When designing this I wanted to make sure the waste was kept down to a minimum by utilizing the standard nominal sizes that any lumber yard should have. I wanted to be sure that all the hardware such as bolts are all the same lengths with no need for counter sinking or cutting off the excess.
