Apart from offering excellent protection, it will also sweep you off your feet pergolas with curved rafter appeal have inviting design, particularly its awe-inspiring curves.
Whether you are looking for a pergola with a single (12×14 Pergola #350 and 12X12 Pergola #750), double (12×12 Pergola #309) or triple (10×16 Pergola #351 and #751) seam to create a curved rafter system with varying size options, we have you covered by using OWT Rafter Seams. For the single and triple seam, we offer two sets of plans, one using the original OWT Hardware and the other using OWT-Lite Hardware. As with all the OZCO Project Plans Laredo Sunset or Ironwood Style of hardware can be switched out depending on your personal preference. Another great product shown in the curved rafter pergola lifestyle pictures are the Post Bands which come in 4×4, 6×6 and 8×8. Not only are the Post Bands a great product to keep your posts from splitting they can be added to existing posts for up-keep. As an added feature the Post Bands have the ability to have a variety of add-on Accessories attached; from hanging plants, hooks, shackles to the ever-popular wine glass holder. Use the bottle holder (wick and cap included) to up-cycle wine bottles into tiki-torches creating a fun and functional backyard experience.

So the picture shows the post anchors into a wood deck surface. Do you need any other support for the posts or just the wood post anchors? We have an existing deck, just 12″ off the ground and want to add a pergola.
Thanks for your reply
The post base needs to be mounted securely to the joist framing of the deck. Typically blocking is installed between the joists under the areas where the posts will rest on the deck.
