smart to put the blocking in before the rafter so it can help guide you. I've seen people try to do that after the fact, which is much harder

Could you try one rafter for fit and cut all of them from that one
@MANaboutTOOLS5 жыл бұрын
That is possible if your beams are exactly parallel to each other in both the top and front view aspects. And the beams do not have a bow in them. That's a hard thing to achieve with rough cut, air dried timbers. And, in my case, the rafters were twisted in varying degrees. Thanks for the questions! Cheers, Kent

Kent - love your design. Question about how you did the blocking. Since you are adding blocking as you go, I see you screw into the blocking with each new rafter, but after you set a new rafter, how did you attach a new block to the already installed previous rafter?

When it comes to cutting the birds mouths on the rafters... couldn't you use the first one as a template to cut them all? That way you would not have to lift, mark, carry down, cut and then lift back up to install?
@MANaboutTOOLS5 жыл бұрын
With this build I had some bowing in the beams and front posts. The top beams were not parallel (front or top down) so I had to cut each birds mouth individually if I wanted a good fit. Thanks for the comment, Kent

I'm gonna get a hell of a workout working with these huge beams. And I'm doing 80-90% of my build by myself. Its not gonna be as tall as what you built... Mine will only be 8-10 ft on the tall side... But my pergola is going to be about 35 ft long and about 8-10 ft wide.

When you're cutting the bird's mouths on the rafters how do you ensure that the birds mouths are at the same spot on each rafter? After re-watching some sections a few times and your other similar project videos I can't quite see how you ensure the rafters are aligned the same way for each rafter. Also, during planning stages how do you go about making sure your rafters are equally spaced while also accounting for their width? Is there a formula you use?
@MANaboutTOOLS5 жыл бұрын
Hi, I put a pencil line on the underside of each rafter at a consistent distance, say 18", from the high peak end. I then set this line on the edge of the upper beam. Then I mark the two birdsmouths. Take them down and cut them. On the Garden Pavilion I made a small handsaw cut in the rafter at this mark. That prevented the heavy fir rafters from slipping while I moved around on the scaffolding to mark them. The spacing is straightforward math. And in my case it was okay of I was off a bit on the spacing.
@GameBuddies15 жыл бұрын
