I have been looking at pictures of pergolas on the www and seem to find many that have a pitched roof where there appears to be no side beam to side beam rafters and the only thing that looks like it is helping hold it all together is collar ties. I have been wondering how they manage to do this.
I'd go the collar ties every second rafter, its kind of an unwritten law of building surveyors, there used to be a book called "carports and pergolas design and construction manual" put out by the timber promotion council, dont know if its still around.
