Good video- how solid are your posts using the angle iron? I’m going to build a two post pergola and I’m trying to figure out the best post mounting bracket

[@benla2205]

I’m wondering the same. Did you do yours yet?

[@Douty1k]

Yes- I ordered some incredible wet set brackets from Concrete Pier Systems. They custom made them for me. They are 18” .25 plate steel with 4 18” rebar welded to the bottom. If you search CPS system you can fine a few videos. I dug my footers about 40” deep, set the brackets and my posts are rock solid. Couldn’t be happier.

Love this video, what size were your posts? Rafters and perlons? I’m hoping to build something very similar and cat decide between 4x4 posts or 6x6. Also was this cedar? Thank you

Thank you! With just the two posts supporting the pergola, I wanted to make sure this was sturdy and had a balanced look visually. The posts are 6x6, the cross beams are 2x10, the rafters are 2x8 and the purlins are 5/4 deck boards ripped in 1/2. This project used cedar. If one was considering a using treated lumber, it would be good to find materials that have dried well after the treatment so there is less chance of twisting or warping as the material finishing drying.

Just visual look but a lot of work put into
