I'm crossposting this to the garden and woodworking group, tried to search through the archives, but info is not current enough for my needs.
For the last several years, I've had my heart set on having two pergolas built EXACTLY like the one I posted at the link, 155 KB slow to download right now for me, hope it doesn't cause problem, hasn't before that size with high speed:
Anybody have any ideas of how to go about this? Building it will be one thing; installing another. It probably has to be anchored in concrete. I want quality wood with no knotholes which will be more expensive. Quality scrap lumber would be ok, too.
The only compromise I'd be willing to make are with the rounded braces and lattice on the sides. The lattice could crisscross diagonally, can't think of the word for it at the moment, and you can buy wood sheets of that for $17.95. There is plastic but don't want that.
I could *almost* draw up a rough plan myself, but it might not be precise enough. I have looked all over the web and in garden books in the past, around town, but have never found one I have liked as well as this one. Sorry photo quality not the best, took a pic of a calendar page with my digicam.
I will check back when I can, but have a lot of things going right now in the way of home improvement, so I can't respond right away if somebody has a question.
