Wondering if the corners might have been a big part of the tight fit issues? (Forcing sharp, square wood columns into the (slightly radiused) steel tube corners is gonna be a no-go, even when the side-to-side clearances should work.) Just thought that it might be worth trying a 3/8" radius roundover bit on those corners next time before breaking out the belt sander.
Thanks for the vid. I am considering this type of pergola for a walk way that would be wall attached. What's your judgement on the coating for the Lynx connectors? I assume it's steel, but what's it finished in? Thanks again!
Pergola is pronounced PER-GOAL-AH...btw, that looks like a pretty crap product if you gotta bash it with a hammer and attack it with a belt sander just to get it to fit together...sure as hell ain't no Ikea bookshelf
if i put siding on this structure would a strong wind push it over? or should I use a pole barn structure put the posts at least 24" in the ground?
I love this idea it help a lot of people ❤
hi, jason，Can I cite your video in my blog? A blog about building a pergola

No. They needed sanding
Ya exactly, the metal was rounded and the wood had corners, so it needed to be rounded out. Belt sander made it too loose and ... What a mess
What type of wood did you use for your pergola
if you can remove the seem inside the pipe that might work

deff have to inquire about pricing with them and talk to my material provider looks cool!
Who made this first? Toja grid or Linx?
I believe Toja did
Is a 12x18 with 4post only possible?
What length are the Styx?
does this shake or wiggle? i've read that this is a common issue. please let me know.
What’s the cost for kit / set
Any knee braces?
Toja grid looks way better, these seem like knock-offs

The posts are swollen from moisture
