Pergola shade structure

We recently built this Pergola as a shade structure and focal point for this otherwise plain area on the ranch! You can see how we re-purposed some old lumber over here. It was built from 6x6 posts for the vertical framework, composite lattice connects the posts and 6x6 corbels sit on top with 2x3 boards as lattice on top for shade and a more substantial feel.

The posts were prepared properly as you can see over here.

The plans are to dress this pergola up with some beuatiful plants that will vine and create some dramatic cover and color!
