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.

It looks like the hardware may be Simpson Strong-Tie's Outdoor Accent line but also see OZCO Building Products for alternative options if you're looking for something similar.

I used some of both. Just depenended on which was right for the particular joint.

Nice part is both have engineered ratings.
