How we build a pergola
Posts sit on concrete footings or bolt to a deck frame that can carry them. Beams and rafters are sized for the span, and an attached pergola is fixed to the house with flashing where it meets the wall. Whether you need a permit depends on your town and the size; Fuquay-Varina, for one, treats a pergola as an accessory structure that needs a building permit. We check yours.
