A properly sized pilot hole must be drilled before you attempt to drive lag screws into any pergola lumber member.

See Table, below. Driving lag screws into lumber, without first drilling a pilot hole, can prevent the lag screw from

driving fully into the wood or can lead to crack formation while driving the lag screw in, or later, as the wood dries

naturally. This can result in a weakened pergola structure.
