Pro tip: do what you can on the ground!
What happens here
Repeat the process of attaching metal brackets and inserting wooden support blocks along the entire length of multiple wooden beams. Maintain consistent spacing between each bracket to ensure a uniform appearance for the pergola's top structure. Once all beams are prepared in this manner, they are ready to be integrated. Lift and carefully position these prepared beams onto the main support structure of the pergola (as seen with the long green beam) and secure them to form the overhead slatted roof.
Goal: Complete the preparation of all pergola slats and install them onto the main framework.
