Setting Some MASSIVE Beams For a Deck Pergola!

What happens here

Once the roof mounts are ready and the beams are stained, use a telehandler to lift the large main pergola beams. Securely attach straps or chains to the beams to ensure safe lifting. Guide the telehandler operator to precisely position each beam over its designated roof mounts. Carefully lower the beam, aligning it with the brackets. Once properly seated, use a drill/driver to fasten the beams to the metal brackets with bolts, creating the primary structural support for the pergola.

Goal: Utilize a telehandler to carefully lift and position the long, heavy main pergola beams onto the pre-installed roof mounts, then securely bolt them into place.
