Building a DECK and PERGOLA - Full Build Time Lapse!
What happens here
Erect the main structure of the pergola. Large wooden beams, possibly pre-finished with a protective green treatment, are carefully lifted into place using a telehandler and secured to the previously installed support posts. Ensure the beams are level and aligned correctly to form the primary overhead supports for the pergola. Additional structural elements may be added to secure the entire framework.
Goal: Erect the pergola structure to provide shade and define the outdoor living space
