Pergola project advice
Hello all, I am planning to build a pergola im parents garden, nothing fancy and possibly not evelasting - might be that we decide to build a proper house there one day. I am also not planning on putting any roof there, only some plants/vines to cover it. Questions: What sort of anchoring the post should i choose? I am thinking about one of the two in pictures. I will be making concrete bases around 303060cm. Are the joints in corners and middle feasible? I am especially not sure how to connect the pair of crossbeams to the post in the middle. Are the slanted "rafters" feasible? Can i connect these with pocket hole screws? I would like to avoid as much hardware as possible(meaning L-s, joist hangers, etc.), dont mind "splurging" on screws. Any general comments are well appreciated. We live in central europe, snowfall is minimal with global warming and weather is genersly dry :) The material will be softwood(larch, pine, worst case spruce) and we will treat it with some exterior finish.
