Overview

This pergola roof kit utilizes 2x4 insert brackets so you can insert a series of 2x4 slats between the 4x4 beams on either side of the pergola. The brackets are open at the top so the 2x4 wood slats can be inserted from above after you've secured the brackets to the existing beams. The end result is a series of roof rafters that are inline and "flush" with the beams.

¹ Span is the distance from outside edge to outside edge (including brackets) of the side of the pergola where the roof brackets will be attached.

² Spacing is approximate and denotes "on-center" spacing - i.e. the distance between the center point of one 2x4 to the center point of the next 2x4 (not the amount of space between the 2x4s).

Other Roof Kits for Pergolas with a 4x4 Frame

Traditional roof rafters kit - 2x4 roof rafters are attached above the beams (rather than inline with the beams) and can extend beyond the end of the beams to create overhangs
Angled shade purlins roof kit - 2x4 slats are inserted between the beams (inline) but are installed at a 45-degree angle (or another angle) to maximize shade
4x4 inline rafters roof kit - 4x4 posts (rather than 2x4 slats) are inserted between the beams (inline)
