There is always the option to weave fabric through the rafters as well. In this case, you would not want to install purlins.

I think this is a good representation of the weight and size of framing I imagine for the pergola. It also has a nice clean, contemporary rafter cut on the ends. Notice, too, the option for "purlins" on top of the rafters, for added support of plants and/or additional shade.
