What is needed to build a pergola?
WHAT YOU NEED
Ladder(s)
Drill(s)
Hand drill
Chainsaw (to trim the length of wood)
Measuring Tape
Cardboard (to be place under the stand so as not to scratch your surface or the stand)
And of course, you need wood
Most of the population can find a store that sells wood locally where they live.
We recommend that you bring a stand with you when you purchase the wood to test the fit.
This will save you time and money.
There are also regional restrictions on what kind of wood is appropriate for your building; different types of wood are used in tropical climates and cold climates.
You can choose any wood that suits your style and budget. It must be dry and straight.
