Erect Pergola Structural Posts and Roof Frame

What happens here

Position and secure the primary structural posts that will support the pergola roof. These posts are typically large-dimension lumber (e.g., 6x6 or larger) for structural integrity and are bolted into the deck frame or directly to footings. Install main support beams across these posts to create the upper framework of the pergola. This specific pergola features a gable roof design with a central ridge beam and sloped rafters, so careful measurement and angle cuts are crucial for fitting the various components together.
