Hey all,

I've just completed a merbua deck at home. My next task is to cover the deck with a pegola.
The deck is 6m long and 4.4m wide, i have a post on each corner and one half way down on the longer run. So in short my bearers will be 6m long with a post support at the 3m mark and my joists will run across the 4.4m span.
So my question is; what size bearers and joists should i be using? and what spacing should be between the joists? Treated pine will be the timber of choice.
Any help would be much appreciated. :2tsup:

Flat roof? Gable? Anything on the roof? (laserlight/reeding). Attachment to house on other side?
A bit more info and you will get more help.

i would order:

6/3.0 90 x 90 TP H3 LOSP posts
4/3.6 240 x 45 TP H3 LOSP bearers
15/4.8 140 x 45 TP H3 LOSP joists @450 cts
8/4.8 70 x 45 TP H3 LOSP battens @ 900 cts

plus associated gal hardware

the lengths are fairly tight and dont allow for much if any waste
