Pergola Design – How To Choose The Best Pergola Design For Your Needs
A pergola design should be chosen depending on different factors like location, materials and style. A location should be chosen carefully, as the final visual impact can be dramatic. Pergolas can be built stand alone in the garden, in the back yard, or over a patio and attached to the house. Attention should be placed on underground utilities like plumbing pipes and electric cables so as not to have bad surprises while digging the foundations.
Materials used for pergolas, trellises and gazebos construction range from aluminium, to vinyl, to wood. Aluminium and vinyl are virtually maintenance free but not as appealing as wood. Since wood has to withstand UVA and rain, it is a good idea not to save on wood quality and go for hard, tough woods like cedar or red wood. They hardly require any maintenance and outlive their builders. Wood is also very pliable and can be cut and shaped in all types of style, size, and shape.

Build It Yourself-Outside
(NAPSI)—Great outdoor living is more than just a trend these days; modern cocooning demands an open-air living space. The deck, the patio, the outdoor kitchen—this is where people are turning for rest and relaxation when time or money limits vacation as an option. So the deck should offer the same elements that a pleasant in-the-house room delivers: comfort, space and aesthetic touches that make it welcoming.
Just about everyone loves plants, especially as a design touch on the deck. Making a planter box from treated lumber or cedar is an easy way to get more green in your life, so here are some ideas for making a planter at home. A square planter box looks great, but adding a 10-degree angle to the front adds a nice distinguishing detail. A single 2” x 8” x 8’ ACQ-treated board, a drill and a saw, and a few hand tools are all you’ll need to complete this project. Before beginning, heed a few tips—always use clamps, wear appropriate eye protection and be sure to use a high-quality blade on your circular saw. The Bosch Daredevil blade has a hardened plate that runs straight, and triple-sharp carbide teeth leave a nice finish. You will need to cut five pieces—two 24” long—two angled side pieces (51/2” x 8” with an 8” x 11/2” triangle removed) and a bottom piece (21” x 41/4”—one edge beveled inward). The angled details create the visual appeal but are difficult to cut without a good blade.
