Pergola Plans: What You Might Want To See About Installing A Pergola
Dig holes in positions as indicated by your pergola plans. The holes should as deep as one fourth the length of the posts. Mix cement with water so that it attains the required consistency. Then pour the cement into the post holes. Put anchor bolts on the cement so that the bolts come upward. Allow the concrete to harden. After the cement has hardened screw metal anchors to the anchor bolts. Use lag bolts to attach the posts to the metal anchors. Place the beams on top of the posts and fasten them with carriage bolts. Cut notches on rafters and place them on the beams. Fasten the rafters to the beams with wood screws and hurricane clips. Your pergola is built.
