David Kailey Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 This is a set of trusses for a pergola. All of the fillagree in the field using 3/8" round rod. 7 diffrent scrolls where used. There was a ton of fit and finish work. The truss sit on a 4"x4"x1/4" beam supported by 4-6"x6"x1/4" @ 7ft tall. The pergola is 12' wide 15' tall. There are sides and 2 gates. Which will be the next phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George N. M. Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Very cool. We'd like to see them installed. Those are large enough that I am sure that you have minions or some sort of hoisting equipment. how many man hours do you have in them? For yourself or a customer?

David Kailey Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 For a customer. I had help 2 day. Pretty much been packing the trusses solo. Lol. The last 2 weren't to bad. But it was quite a solo production moving the bigger ones around. No hoist equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
