Build a freestanding two-post cedar pergola, nearly 9 feet wide and 8 feet tall, that holds a store-bought projector screen on its front and carries an open slat roof that doubles as a trellis. The wind-rated connector joinery and cantilevered post-and-beam framing in this plan are the same methods you will use on any future pergola, carport, or shade structure. You learn it by building something you actually want.
