Our umbrella broke so I did what any woodworker would do, built a pergola! Took me about 8 hours or less. The cedar came from a neighbors porch railing so I just had to plain it all down and put it together. It was a lot more work than that but I’ll be modest. Going to plant some Jasmine by the poles but in the mean time I may staple some mesh on the top for more shade. Who knows, no one ever sits down there anyway. All together it cost about $45 for hardware and of course the wood was free!

He’ll never notice!
haha He installed new pressure treated fancy railings and got rid of the straight 2×4 cedar. Free is a great word!
Rhynodesign, it’s not a bad place to sit, but I’d rather be in the shop sanding or cutting! haha
