Heh, reading this thread makes me anxious because it gives my imagination the juice it needs to start thinking of all they different ways my house is in need of repair or soon could be.
Looks good. I'm hoping to have my house extended early next year (I can't get a builder before then as it seems the entire country is having work done using money they would have spent on holidays). After that's done I'm building a deck out back and was going to stick a pergola on, very similar to how you're doing it. Are you painting or staining the wood? I'm intending to do mine a dark grey (I think).
We will be doing the shade thing, on one side for sure, and probably on top. It’s just non stop sun from like noon to sunset back there. I’ll keep the thread updated. Unfortunately I probably can’t start again until Friday. It’s raining all day today and good chance tomorrow. Sucks as I got on a roll and made good progress but my back needs a rest I guess.Before i moved i was researching putting a simple canopy on my pergula
DIY: Retractable Pergola Canopy Tutorial
Pergolas can offer some great privacy, but they're not always the best for shade. In my backyard, the sun shines all day long and man, is it HOT out there! While you can buy pergola
The house im at now has an entertsinment slab that seems to be a good candidate for a pergula id like to see your journey
We will stain or paint it next year. Probably stain as that would look better with the rough sawn look I think. We talked about staining it before we put it up but she wanted to wait. I’m already regretting not pushing the issue because once this is up there’s going to be so much wood intersections it’s going to be a pita.
Lattice kind of sucks. It gets dislodged with wind pretty easy and doesn’t age well, splits apart. I have an idea I’m going to try instead, not sure how it’ll turn out but in my head it’s good. I’m going to do a plank half wall with 1x6’s with a small shelf at the top for drinks / standing. Just on the side with the bushes.
Is that load bearing? Probably not but check first. If not load bearing then yeah, I’d make that a 72” bifold door instead. Also, most closet interiors are flat white unless it’s a walk in.
I would have recommended hanging doors but it doesn’t look like he has room to roll them out of the way all the way. I had sliding doors like that where I couldn’t open all the way and it drove me nuts. I have a 60” opening but can only open 30” at a time. Just a preference thing for me. If it had full clearance then sliding all the way for me.
Yea these two pseudo clisets take up 3/4 of the wall, and i do not believe its a load bearing wall, iguesstimated the distance and right below that wall is my kitchen with empty space so i guess i gotta find a youtube on how to do this. (Finally get to use my sawzall for something other than tree limbs)
