Let’s hear your guesses, what are the scabs for on this pergola beam?! #pergola #outdoorliving
What happens here
The video begins with the builder measuring a long, black wooden beam using a tape measure and marking the desired cut point with a pencil or similar marking tool. Following this, the beam is cut to size using a miter saw. Although not explicitly shown being cut, smaller wooden pieces, intended to serve as spacers for the slatted design, are also prepared by being measured and cut to uniform lengths.
Goal: Prepare all wooden components for the slatted pergola top by measuring and cutting them to the specified dimensions.
Tools and materials
- Long Wooden Beams — Forming the main structural elements of the slatted section
- Marking Tool — Marking the cut lines on the wood
- Miter Saw — Precisely cutting the wooden beams and spacers to length
- Smaller Wooden Pieces — Creating the slatted effect and providing spacing
- Tape Measure — Measuring the length of the wooden beams and spacers
