Main Support Beams & Rafter Placement

12 x 12 Flat Top Pergola

Using a helper and two ladders proceed to complete the

following steps:

Mount the main support beam which has the rafter hangers

onto the wood beam as shown. The top of the wood beam

should be flush with the top of the pergola beam.

Align the two main support beams such that they are

centered to each other.

To fasten, use a minimum of six 3½” (90mm) lag screws through

the main support beam and wood beam. Space the lag screws

between the rafter hangers.

Place the six rafters into the rafter hangers & rafter brackets.

Ensure that the ends with the wood inserted 1/4“ (6mm) from

thr edge are pushed all the way in the rafter hangers.

Fasten into the rafter hanger using four - 1 1/2” (38mm)

screws as shown.

Fasten the rafters onto the rafter brackets using 1

1/2” (38mm) screws as shown.

Finally, adjust the main support beam and rafters ensuring the

overhang past the column is equal. Using 4“ (102mm) screws,

lock the main support beams and rafters into position inside

the posts by driving in 8 screws from the outside and 8 screws

from the inside of each column.
