How assemble the joists in co-planar manner without hangers?

11 years ago
This design is very elegant. I want to know how it was achieved. I don't see any hangers supporting any of the intersecting joists? Did you notch each of them (e.g., top of one, bottom of other) and interlace? If not notched, how are the stubby ends secured to the end support boards? Thanks in advance!

    Each hanger was cut and the top board was lowered(forced) into the notched out hanger. Very difficult and time consuming.

    How is the pergola secured in the deck? do the supporting beams go all the way down below grade level?
