Arbors: Pergola my dreams

Reviewed by:

Pergolas not only define entryways, they offer dappled shade from the summer sun and support for hanging plants and climbing vines.

This entry pergola comes as a kit with two 5-1/2"-square posts, one 5-1/2"-square x 10' carrying beam, 2" x 4" cross joists and two 4' x 30" lattice panels with radius curves. It's stained white and sells for $2,950 (August 2004).

Walpole Woodworkers will consult with you on installation method, since this varies depending on geographic location. The company also creates custom pergolas.
