Attached Mini Pergola Over a Back Door

A 6x4 pergola mounted to the house on a ledger board, with the load math explained in plain language so you know exactly why each lag goes where it goes.

The two things that make or break this build: flashing the ledger properly, and getting the posts plumb before the rafters lock everything in place.
