Stain Pergola Rafters and Beams

What happens here

Sand down the surfaces of all the pergola rafters and beams using a drill with a sanding pad attachment. Apply a protective stain to achieve the desired aesthetic and ensure long-term durability against weather exposure. This step is crucial for both the visual finish and the longevity of the wooden components.

Goal: Sand and stain all exposed pergola rafters and beams prior to assembly to provide aesthetic appeal and protection from the elements.
