"Work" started today on Kim's Pergola for our back yard patio. The patio is 18' by 18' this thing is going to be huge. Today was the design phase as well as the go to Lowe's and buy the lumber phase. I was able to use their website for pricing and did very well. After it was all said and done I waled out with my list and came in just 3% under what the website said. I have included my 'rough' sketch that I used to figure out what items I will need. This was a very rough sketch, and does not show any width to the lumber. At this time the plan is for the beams to made of two 2x6 boards separated by 4". The ones that run parallel to the house will be set 6" lower than the boards running perpendicular to the house (towards the back yard). Of course all of this is subject to change ;-)
