We include over 20 photographs to show the detail and building process along with step by step instructions to build and erect a beautiful pergola. No nails needed - assembled with easy carriage bolt and all screw construction. You can build the following sizes with these plans:: 10' x 10'', 12' x 12', 14' x 14' or or a 16' x 16' pergola - or any size in between by simply adjusting the length of the boards to a custom size. Sizes are based on the top canopy size, with the post then set in 12".
