Building the Deck’s Pergola Charlie, the GC, is building a BrattleWorks pergola from pre-cut red cedar on the mahogany deck. Charlie slides the stringers over the joists he installed a few weeks ago and is attaching them with 3 1/2 inch stainless screws and drilling right in. They don't require pre-drilling as cedar is a soft wood. With vines growing over it, the finished pergola will provide some nice shade.
