Wayne, I applaud your efforts. Thats A LOT of work for a one man crew. that would is very heavy. I built something very similiar to what you are building for my Eagle Project. My pergola just wasn't in a swimming pool. The only thing that worry me at this time are the 4 posts to support each end at this time. I read that you are going to strengthen the crap out of this thing which is good. I am sure your MIT education won't fail you now.

Diagonal bracing is your friends. Make as many triangles as you can.

And if you get a picture of your truck ontop of this thing...your cajones are much bigger then mine sir.
