Time lapse of over 10 hours of construction
UPDATE - For those asking for a materials list:
All lumber was outdoor pressure treated. Got quotes from lumber yards in area, and ended up being same price as Lowe’s.
6 - 6x6 pieces of lumber 10’ (bought 12’ and cut down for posts)
6 - 2x10 pieces of lumber cut 12’
3 - 1x3 pieces cut 8’
6 - 2x10 pieces cut 10’
22 - 2x6 pieces cut 10’
20 - 2x2 pieces cut 14’
12 - 7” long carriage bolts
100ct - box of 4 1/2” screws
200ct - 2 1/2” nails
6 - concrete anchor brackets (6x6)
1 - box of wedge concrete anchors
Found a plan on @myoutdoorplans.com as a reference and then customized to my size patio and style of pergola.
Not sure exact cost, but with lumber, fasteners, and a couple tools I believe the whole project was around $900. Includes 4 trips to Lowe’s!
Also, live in Ohio (tornado alley) and had a rough winter. 1 year later, no problems with movement - still solid as when I built it.
