Thanks for the kind words.

I have to agree. I’d have it at my house, too. :=)

David nice work,

Any chance you have more pictures? My sister in law is wanting a pergola, and I would love to see more of the detail. Forgive me for being a novice, but what is “keyway trim” that hides the plates?

Thanks

I’ll see about the pictures. they are in the hard drive of a computer that is not where I am right now. I think I have lot, though.

Keyway trim… I will get a picture of that, too. But you can see it (barely) centered beneath the joist closest to the tip of the umbrella. Looks like a triangular shield (or coat of arms for a tranformer lol).

Usually used to in the center of a fancy cased opening (instead of a pediment) and inside usually routed on the edges and even a second piece on top of that to give it even more detail.

Wait on the pics and you will “see”... which is worth a thousand words, right ?

Pics added. Obviously, only the first is the totally completed and in-use picture.

See the keyway block on the front beam facing the pool. Also on the back side of the front beam and another is on the back beam center also facing the pool.

There is not one on the back side facing the woods. Nobody knows this. Shhh. lol
