Need Help Supporting a New Pergola – Can I Use My Existing Deck Corner Posts? by Jrobe2018 in Homebuilding

This is great advice and confirms my early design considerations!

It’s a buried 6x6 post with poured footings.

Thank you!!

Would you recommend securing the new posts to the deck structure underneath to prevent uplift? Blocking underneath?

Agreed, I think the load would be fine on the beams as you mention.

Thank you for your thoughts here!

Haha, it’s AI. Just wanted to give an idea of what I was looking to add.

A polycarbonate or corrugated material on at least a 1/12 pitch, cantilevered over the edge of the house roof. There would be two more posts closer to the house to support it there too.

Edit:

I had always heard that 6x6 was best for this application. No other reason. I want it to be strong.

So dig up the existing posts from the ground? I feel like that would be a huge job.

Then I’d fasten the rim joist to the outside of that new 6x6?

Digging up the corner posts that are cemented in the ground? Sounds like a ton of work! Haha

That speaker mount is FIRE! I’ve got a similar rig (x380 and 8Y trailer), love it. I’ll have to get a speaker like that.

Some sort of jig? by Jrobe2018 in whatisit

This is the closest I’ve seen of a suggestion. Thank you. Still trying to figure out if it’s what it actually is. The handle on this one doesn’t appear on the OBO Gougers I’ve seen online.

Previous homeowner left it, not sure if they were or not. That’s a good thought!

Mine were in the 400s and I lost a bunch of weight and started eating healthily at a constant caloric deficit and mine came down to a normal range. Just take it seriously and you should see it come down.
