Looks like it's going to be really sturdy! Good job on replicating it locally to save money.
I agree about looking at the materials used and what type of construction methods are employed. We had a pergola built October in anticipation of our pool and intviewed 3 builders. The last guy had the price right in the middle, but he had the best construction techniques (notched) and used the sturdiest cedar boards and posts. Plus, his was the biggest design. It ended up being 24'x16' with 12" posts. He used 2x4's for the slats on the top, spaced 2" apart so they look very sturdy, won't warp, and we get plenty of shade. We really like it. Now if only we can get the pool built so we can use it the way we envision. (Of course it would help if it would stop raining...)
Jamie-
Show me a picture of that it sounds great would love to know what you used for beam and rafters. Instead of 2x4s I'm using 2x6 but 3 inch spacing sounds real close to yours. I have seen many people with over sized pergolas.
No Show Again- Tile and Coping. No ETA etc. Atleast there consistent.
I have a sad for you Here is hoping it all turns out good.
