The footprint of the pergola is 12’ x 12’ measured to the outside of
the posts. If a smaller dimension is required, a few guidelines should
be considered:
It is easier to shorten the pergola by the way shown - by shortening
the lengths of the louver boards and the beams.
Asthetically, it is best to cut all 84 boards equally so that they are
even across the three rows. However, cutting only one or two rows
will involve less labor.
The beams shall be cut at the middle (away from the pre-drilled hole),
and equally on both halves to ensure the symmetry of the pergola.
See example on next page.
