Pergola Project
I decided I wanted to build a pergola for my back entrance that would provide some protection while Bar-B-Qing, the only exception is really cold days. Then the Bar-B-Q is moved right in front of the back door. It took a while to decide on the proportions but I am pretty happy with the results. (See pictures below)
The six by six posts are mortised to the top six by six beam. The arches (to reduce costs) were two by eights that I cut my arch out of and then glued and bolted the cut out section on top. I haven't decided if I want to leave it open, build a permanent roof or have a custom tarp built. I have a cheap $9.00 tarp from Princess Auto that I a trying out until I decide. I will probably not make that decision until right after the cheap tarp fails.
