Pergola over pool and bolting footing to bond beam?

[Timmyb]

I built a pergola over my driveway at my last property which spanned 22 feet, so I believe I can span my 18.5’ wide pool without issue, especially if I use knee braces, my last pergola didn’t use knee braces and wasn’t sagging.

anyone see issue with attaching posts to bond beam?

Here is the pergola I previously built

The bond beam won't support the weight or side loads placed on it by the pergola. Chances are the pergola will require sizable footings. Check with the city/county for their code requirements. They may also have earthquake requirements.

Nope! Won't work. That weight needs in-ground footing or secure footing to a slab engineered to support. Your pool shell bond beam is neither.
