Now I'll ask you to carefully re-read my posts in this thread and point out to me where I gave any advice, specific or inferred on methods of attaching pergola rafters to timber or metal fascia.

Aside from the specific advice to doog regarding bolting a wall plate to his timber frame my only other comment was in response to your blanket statement regarding reinforcing rafter overhangs. I say blanket statement because that's the only way to read what was written and therefore it applies to any and all pergolas.

Again if you read carefully, you'll also see I partially agreed with you depending on what's being hung off the fascia. On occasion additional strengthening is required, I've done so in the past and no doubt will again in the future where needed. I definitely do not do this on all pergolas I construct as it's unnecessary overkill which I couldn't possibly justify.

I would greatly appreciate a little effort here on your part to read what I said and not credit statements made by others or assumptions made by yourself as coming from me. You're more than welcome to comment or disagree on what I actually say.

Lastly, I've made no personal attack on yourself, I expect the same in return.
I want your crap remarks concerning me removed thanks very much.
