Bring your friends!
Pergolas are heavy. Those are 6x6 timbers, after all.
Heave Ho!
The entire frame is placed on top of the posts.
8" lags are driven through the top of the beams into the posts. Actually every subsequent layer receives the same treatment. Once all three layers are fastened, the bolt heads are caulked to protect from moisture.
And there it is. The finished pergola.
Shadows fall on and through the structure.
A nice look at the joinery. In this shot, you can see the through tenons, the lapped joints at every layer, as well as some of decorative bevelling on the middle layer (purlins).
