Properly attaching a ledger board to an existing home can be a major task. If the ledger is built during the construction of the house then all the details like flashing and siding are so much simpler. This Is A Simple Example Being a Civil Engineer by degree and a custom builder and remodeling contractor by profession, I take pride in having a reputation for solving construction conundrums to a high level with cost effectiveness, and in the instance of this pergola, the main concern was, how to structurally attach the 6x6 post columns to the existing stone pedestals. If you have a homeowners’ association, take a look at their rules as well. Just because your building code allows something doesn’t mean your HOA does. Use the larger 5-inch galvanized lag screws to attach the post to the post anchor. Pre-drill 5/16-inch pilot holes through the holes in the post anchor and into the wood post. The 5-inch galvanized lag screws (4 of them for 4x4 post anchors or 5 of them for 6x6 post anchors) go through the post anchor holes, into the pilot holes, and up into the post.

The post anchors were a key component in helping the homeowner in salvaging the existing stone pedestals as a structural base for mounting the pergola columns. This ultimately saved the homeowner money and time by not having to scrap them, and allowed Macek Custom Builders to fasten the cedar columns to the stone pedestals with aesthetic and structural confidence! I core filled the existing pedestals with concrete, attached the Titan Post Anchors to the pergola cedar columns, and then attached the columns with the Titan's to the concrete core filled stone pedestals. Structurally, I was primarily concerned with lateral stability strength and shear, and secondarily with uplift. Aesthetics too, were just as important, since the pergola was to have no visible fasteners showing from the ground.Building codes vary widely depending on where you live, and each location has a different local building code.
