What happens here
This final construction phase involves systematically installing the remaining rafters across the entire length and width of the pergola structure. Workers continue to space the rafters evenly and securely fasten them to the main support beams and the ledger board. The time-lapse footage shows the overhead structure becoming progressively denser as more rafters are added. Once all rafters are in place, all connections are checked for tightness and reinforced with additional fasteners as necessary to ensure the pergola's stability and strength.
Goal: Complete the overhead pergola structure and secure all connections.
