A Note On Safety
Make sure that you choose a pergola plan that is within your skill set. Having basic carpentry skills are especially important if you’re building a structure like a pergola that needs to be secure and stable. While some projects require more skill than others, make sure to take on only what you can handle. Or, make friends with someone who knows what they’re doing.
As with any large DIY project, make sure to use caution when using ladders or scaffolding. Always wear head and eye protection, and make sure the structure is secure before using it.
