9.) If using the original post locations, a line is 
drawn on each of the four 2’x8’ beams. This is 
a mark that will align with the outside edge of 
each post as shown.

10.) A helper (or two) will be needed when 
setting the beams. The marks will face the 
posts. Lift into place, setting in the notch at 
the top of the post, and make sure that the 
ends over hang the same on both ends. Attach 
using (4) 2 ½” screws on each post per side. 

NOTE: If the pergola is longer than 16 feet, set 
a total of 8 beam pieces. The flat ends will butt 
together in the center of the middle beams. 
Attach to the post with (3) screws on each side 
of the seam. When testing the notch alignment, 
add runners at the notches on either side of the 
middle seam.
