Kim contacted me a while ago about the maximum beam span of a new style of pergola kit - one that uses posts and corner brackets to build - and it had me thinking about whether it is really the easiest pergola to build. 🤔

The only reason mine is still in contention is that this one, with the corner brackets and post anchors, needs three people to put it up (and therein lies another story). Even so, it is very simple (and looks great!).

All it takes is just four posts at the correct height for your space, and beams (which are also posts) to the length you would like...or to an acceptable beam span, anyway. Easy peasy!

It can be painted, treated, elongated or raised, and looks majorly modern as well.

Until next time...

All the best,
