PERGOLA PROJECT COMPLETED

Yesterday I put away the tools and cleaned up the back yard.  The project was done.  Except for the part that grows.  That part will evolve beautifully over time.


The tools can now stay in the garage for a while.

I built a similar structure on The House on Hybiscus.  Where we now live, I will eventually trim the ivy at the level of the top of the fence, blocking the view of our neighbor's windows.
The ivy is already beginning to reach for the top of the pergola.
On the posts nearest the house, trumpet creepers are also reaching for the top of the pergola.
Eventually the lattice will be interwoven with leaves and flowers as the trumpet creepers creep and provide shade for our patio.

  1. Looks awesome! I've never seen trumpet creepers before, but I like them. :)
