Over all, it took me one long weekend and the help of a friend to build my Diy pergola. The task went smoothly except for few minor mistakes that were for real corrected thanks to the wood pliability. In my specific case the pergola was attached to a pre existing first floor front deck, so as to extend the shady area over the ground floor front patio. The results have been impressive to me.

To avoid that, I stained my pergola with a Uva and rain resistant resin paint that additionally brought out all the natural wood texture and beauty, giving it a slippery and gorgeous look. I was for real surprised how good it looked in the end, inspecting that I was at first hesitant to implement the project. The produce of my selection has a tight rail span to provide extra hold for climbing plants or hanging flowers. No much sun is coming through at all, providing a cool freedom area to share with house and friends.
