When I saw this on instagram I was trying to figure out how you connected the cross beam, now it makes sense! I have a similar project on our place… a 14x35 lean-to off the side of the house. A friend milled up some 6x6 and 6x8 post/beams and we will birdsmouth some 2x10 rafters on to it. All rough sawn true dimension Doug fir. I’m going to take my first stab at timber framing, well, timber-ish framing. There will be lots of lags, just hidden. Thanks for showing the process!

Exactly the type of person I wrote it for. Glad you appreciated.
Did you listen to any music while contructing the pergola?
If so, what do you recall?
I have a pergola playlist I dust off for special occasions.
