I need a detailed CAD design that links my detached garage to the front porch with a covered Craftsman-style pergola, flanked by a bluestone-and-granite walkway and a small retaining wall. The connector’s main job is to give people and packages dry passage between the two structures while blending seamlessly with the house’s existing Craftsman character. This should not be attached or tied into existing structures. Drip edge from garage onto pergola structure can be mitigated by a gutter intonation barrel system for garden watering. Structure & materials The pergola should read as true Craftsman: tapered posts, modest bracket details, and exposed joinery. Posts shall be grounded by cement pilings, with attention to location and grading of the ground. Primary members will be stained wood (fir/cedar); rail accents and hardware can be iron. Shed roof with slight pitch forward to avoid drip edge onto back stairs, translucent polycarbonate. Lattice/strapping underneath roof to allow for hanging climbing hydrangea. For the ground plane, I want a bluestone walking surface which will mirror a preexisting bluestone walkway in the front of the house. On the backside of this connector will be a retaining wall to transition to lower grade behind the garage which will include a granite staircase of 3-4 stairs, matching the 10-foot single granite front step to the front porch. Construction will be done by carpenter familiar with the house. Keep in mind structural integrity to combat severe New England winter weather and snow buildup. I can supply photos and PDF of house plans and elevations (was built 2 years ago). We had sketches of the vision we are looking for. Deliverables • Scaled CAD drawings (plan, elevations, and two sections) showing pergola, walkway, and wall with granite stairs • 3D model or rendered views for visual approval • A concise materials list keyed to the drawings • We do not require permitting for this structure as long as it is not tied into the other structures. I prefer files in DWG and PDF. Once we lock the concept, I’ll review one round of revisions before you prepare final permit sheets.

Hi there. The key is creating a freestanding connector that keeps the passage dry while looking original to the Craftsman house. I can develop the pergola, bluestone walkway, retaining wall, and granite stairs as one coordinated CAD design. The drawings will address post locations, cement pilings, grading, drainage, roof pitch, and clearance from both structures. For New England winters, I will keep snow loading, member sizing, bracing, and water shedding central to the design. I can match the tapered posts, exposed joinery, brackets, stained timber, iron accents, and translucent roof to the existing architecture. Your house plans, elevations, photos, and sketches will let me align proportions and details accurately with the recently built home. I will prepare scaled DWG/PDF plans, elevations, two sections, a clean 3D model, rendered views, and a keyed materials list. Do you already have a site survey or grading dimensions showing the elevation change behind the garage? I can develop the concept first for review, incorporate your revision round, then prepare the coordinated final drawing set. Best regards, Valentin

I am interested in developing the CAD design for your Craftsman pergola connectors. I can create precise, detailed connector drawings based on your pergola dimensions, structural requirements, and preferred Craftsman-style appearance. I will focus on accurate geometry, proper connection points, and a practical design that can be manufactured and installed efficiently. I can prepare detailed CAD drawings with dimensions, hole locations, fastener details, material specifications, tolerances, and fabrication information as required. I will carefully coordinate the connectors with the pergola posts, beams, rafters, and other components to ensure proper fit and alignment. Your existing sketches, measurements, reference images, or design files can be incorporated into the final development. My goal is to provide a clean, professional, and fabrication-ready CAD package that is easy for both manufacturers and installers to understand. I can work in your preferred CAD format, accommodate revisions, and ensure the final drawings meet your project requirements. I am ready to review your pergola specifications and begin creating the connector design.
