12x12 pergola

I want to build a pergola i can build onto later in the future but it still be functional for now. I basically want to build out the frame and use a pergola cover for shade this year and then hopefully next year put a metal roof on top. Would this work with the style of pergola in the pictures if i use 6x6 all around and 2x6s as the rafters? Do i need 5/6 post or can i get away with 4? All post will be anchored to concrete footers. submitted by /u/Careless_Yak2140 [link] [comments]
