Pergola time!!

What happens here

With the lumber cut, two individuals work together to lift a long piece of treated lumber, specifically identified as 'Pro Wood Ground Contact,' into position. This piece is likely a main joist or beam for the deck frame. Once properly aligned, use a nail gun to securely fasten the lumber to the existing wooden structure, ensuring a strong and stable connection.

Goal: Secure a new joist/beam to the existing wooden structure.
