Using the HeadLOK bolts for greater support on the rafters was genius! If I may ask, how long were those 2x8 rafters and how far out did they cantilever beyond the beams on each side? If too busy to reply, I understand. Thanks, I learned a lot!
The rafters are 6' long total, they cantilever 4' out front and approx 18" in the back. The design was mainly for aesthetics. If you want to go a little farther out front, add a little length to the back to balance.
Good video- how solid are your posts using the angle iron? I’m going to build a two post pergola and I’m trying to figure out the best post mounting bracket
Yes- I ordered some incredible wet set brackets from Concrete Pier Systems. They custom made them for me. They are 18” .25 plate steel with 4 18” rebar welded to the bottom. If you search CPS system you can fine a few videos. I dug my footers about 40” deep, set the brackets and my posts are rock solid. Couldn’t be happier.
Glad you found some solid brackets! The posts on my project turned out rock solid. Depending on costs and availability, either the straight up steel angles, or the pier brackets mentioned here work great.
Love this video, what size were your posts? Rafters and perlons? I’m hoping to build something very similar and cat decide between 4x4 posts or 6x6. Also was this cedar? Thank you
Thank you! With just the two posts supporting the pergola, I wanted to make sure this was sturdy and had a balanced look visually. The posts are 6x6, the cross beams are 2x10, the rafters are 2x8 and the purlins are 5/4 deck boards ripped in 1/2. This project used cedar. If one was considering a using treated lumber, it would be good to find materials that have dried well after the treatment so there is less chance of twisting or warping as the material finishing drying.

I’m wondering the same. Did you do yours yet?

Really nice job!, love it, how tall is it?, it looks amazing!!...I would love to duplicate if possible

@@danielcelis6772 Thank you! The posts are 10' tall, the rafters are set at 9'.
Just visual look but a lot of work put into
Thank you. It was some work, however it was real fun to build.
