Backyard Makeover Time Lapse Before and After - Ground Level Deck, Paver Patio, and Covered Pergola!
What happens here
After clearing the base area, the team begins framing the main pergola structure. This involves attaching wooden ledger boards to the house exterior, then constructing and raising vertical support posts and horizontal beams. Ladders are used to reach elevated sections, and multiple workers collaborate to lift and position heavy lumber. The frame is assembled using various fastening methods like screws and possibly metal connectors.
Goal: Erect the main wooden structure for the pergola.
