My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

did you build in extra support for the swing?

5 years ago
i see that half of the pergola attaches to the wall. I understand that makes support more difficult. Was this built to withstand a swing with multiple person weight?

    We had planned for the swing from the start on the design and construction of the pergola system- The H channel beams are heavy duty- and supported with the pillars and the bracket on the home. Just get an engineer to draw it up for you- then you know you're safe!
