Had an 20+ year old pergola falling apart on my back porch. Designed and built this 16x12' guy over the course of 2 days.

I built the whole thing using and impact driver, and a miter saw for cuts. I used joist hangers for the cross pieces as well.

It's designed to handle up to 1 ft of snow without sagging, which would be a record for this part of NM. So far seems to be holding up.

Really happy with how it turned out.
