We are thinking to build a attached lean to Pergola and the length would be 450cm and width is only 240 cm. The post I will use is 4x4 and the joist will be 2x6, can I get away with just 2 posts or I need to install 3 posts?
Your help will be appreciated.

I did a (roughly) 3m by 4m with a 3x3 post at each corner and 4x1 timbers to span the gap. Yes, a bit flimsy, but it should hold up the vines I'm growing quite nicely.

Look at the ones available to buy as kits online and see how many posts they have for a similar size.Barnsley, South Yorkshire
