Same here. How much did you get it for and where are you from? I got mine for $647 in Houston. Not sure how I'm going to put it together though. It's only myself. I also want to install the thin polycarbonate.
One other method would be to add a diagonally cut 2x6x12 pressure treated cedar joist on top of the pergola joists before the furring strips. This would provide more support for the roofing and make it look streamlined from below. Thin polycarbonate is ok in the southern states. In states with snow a more durable material (e.g. metal or polycarbonate twin walled panels) would be needed.
One thing you did not mention is...at what point you put those black shoes or base on the columns?? because in the beginning when you were assembling the sides, you did not have them on. In fact, when all four columns were already standing, that black base on the columns were not installed yet. Then, they suddenly appeared.
Thanks for the comment! I ended up installing rain gutters for the whole back of the house which was a better idea. Since the rain now slides down easier. The pergola is holding up great. Thanks again for your questions.
Some things segments can be build by one person, but sometimes you need another person to hold one part while you do other things. I had my brother help me at times because I couldn’t do it everything alone.
Thanks for the video. I just bought the same pergola at Sam's Club, it was on clearance.

He anchored them into the concrete at that point…just didn’t record it
Did you end up putting silicone along the connection to the house roof line like you speculated? Is it holding against the rain?

Can this be done by one person?

I assume this will void the warranty, will these hold the weight of the additional roofing structure.
Does the roofing make a lot of noise during the rain? I’m thinking of getting the same one for my house but we do want to cover it
What’s the name of the roofing you put on the pergola and where did you purchase it?
Can you attach a swing to this?
Yeah I don’t see why not, but make sure hang it from the bigger longer side pillars.
great job, need you to help me with mine, where do you reside
Same here, need help.
Ty informative except the anchoring
How long did it take?
I like that X light. You have a link on where you got it from?
