I am designing a job where a customer would like a pergola. We are building a masonry terrace and they would like a pergola over it. The part of the house we are working off off is a basically half a hexagon (a 3 sided bump out for a breakfast nook i belive.) The way i orginally designed it we ran the perogla right to the house around the 3 sides of the half hex. This means i would need 27' joist on the right and left sides of the perogla. I havn't stopped by the lumber yard yet, but i have a feeling its going to be impossible to get cedar or ipe in legths that long. And if they are availabe it will a ton of money?
I just wanted to run this by you guys before i redesign it not going to the ends of the 3 sides.
