Build a Pergola
We moved in about a year ago and knew we would have to do something with
the back yard. Building the pergola was the first step. This is a very heavy
duty construction built with 6" x 6" x 12' posts and 2" x 8" x 14' & 16' cross
members. This is a 10' x 12' pergola measured from the inside of the posts.

Pegged and squared off where to dig for the posts

Not even close to deep enough

After the concrete dried I brought in the weekend crew
Double cross members bolted in with 10" long 1/2" galvanized
Work around technique clockwise using a level, starting at the
front and only taking one height measurement
