Pergola Cross Beam Spacing

  Kamis, 28 Juli 2022

Pergola Cross Beam Spacing. The posts are 100x100mm and i ordered 88x32mm cross beams. Beams the top of the post should be halved to take the beam that supports the rafters.

A redwood 4x6 beam should span no more than 6' between supporting posts. The answer could be a 4x10 beam with 14' spacing and a patio span of 15' 2x8 rafters. Remove or backfill mud if you need to level one of the posts.

Hi Bruce, This Is A Good Question.


So, the rafter spacing should be 15 inches and 29/32 of an inch for absolutely even spacing. If i need a beam to span 13~14', will a pair of 2x8s sandwiched around the posts. Small to medium sized decks:

In Areas With Mild Climates, Patio Roofs Are Generally Designed For Loads Of 30 Psf (Pounds Per Square Foot).


Then it was easy to cut the boards to. Across the beams, the rafters will be 2x6s on ~8 centers, which should be sufficient given their 4~6' spans. These were painted before installing again.

The Answer Could Be A 4X10 Beam With 14' Spacing And A Patio Span Of 15' 2X8 Rafters.


Screw or bolt the cross beams to the posts. Remove or backfill mud if you need to level one of the posts. We want our notch to be an 1/8 of an inch larger.

Place 2 Screws On Each End Of The Cross Beam To Secure Them Tightly.


The standard size is about 13 feet by 19 feet in total. Give the beam some thickness and make it a component. Screw the cross beams into the posts with bolts or 4 inches (10 cm) screws.

Notching Beams On A Pergola Is A Great Way To Tie The Structure Together, And More Importantly, It Looks Cool.


To maintain this product always keep it clean and recoat all sides with a deck seal, deck oil or deck stain to help prevent splitting, warping and rot; For this project, we’re notching the bottom side of 4 x 6 rough cedar beams to rest on top of 4 x 8 cedar beams at each end. What would the minimum cross beam centre’s be before our pergola was considered a carport?
