How to make a wooden pergola do it yourself
With the help of a circular saw, cut the edges of nine beams of 50 × 100 × 3000 mm. To find out where it should be made, retreat 12 cm along the length of the beam and 5 cm at its height. Do the same with four beams 50 × 100 × 4000 mm.
On the bars of 100 × 100 × 3000 mm, it is necessary to make removing in which longitudinal crossbars are installed. From the edge of the beams, measure 90 mm and swipe the line with a pencil. The depth of the excavation should be about 25 mm.
Council : To quickly make rods on all bars, it is better to fix it with the clamps back to each other.
At the circular saw, set the depth of the cut equal to 25 mm. Make a lot of propyl, ranging from the markup line and moving towards the edges of the beams.
Spread the resulting partitions with a hammer, and then treat the resulting shelves by the chisel.
Make the same deepening in the opposite surface of the beams.
Run and paint all wooden parts.
With the help of pegs and ropes on the plot, mark the rectangle with the sides of 2.6 × 3 m.
Note : The rectangle is considered correct if the lengths of its diagonals are equal.
Using a borah in the corners of the rectangle, dig a pits of the depth of about a meter.
Install the racks in the pits. Racks should be located so that the propellers in them take place along the long sides of the rectangular markup. Using the level and rope, make sure that the ends of the bars are located at the same height. To do this, you can use the water level. If necessary, deepen or vice versa partially pour some pits.

Give the solution to frozen. Four 4 meter beams set the shelves on the bars. The edges of the beams must be over a rack of about 40 cm.
Using the screw drill, drill through holes, each of which will pass through two beams and rack. Secure parts with bolts and nuts.
Equally distribute nine transverse crossbars along the length of pergola. Each of them lock the clamp and screw in a few screws at an angle.
