The brick patio is existing and I want to spice up the front of the house a little. I have been looking online at some pictures and information on pergolas, but I have not found too many construction tips. It is built in my head – now I just have to get it off the ground! Approximate dimensions will be 8×10. What would be the best type of wood for this? in my mind, cedar is preferably to treated. However the pergola needs to look nice and to last. Any tips out there on pergola building? -- Garden therapy and/or shop therapy is better than a specialist - ANY DAY!

It is lightweight making it easier to work with and insects don’t care much for it. Make sure and raise the posts off the patio using Simpson Bases with anchors. You can stain/seal it any color you choose. I like to use SketchUp to help me envision my projects when they are in the planning stages. It helps me visualize not only the project but also the joinery. Slight learning curve, but very helpful nevertheless. Here are links to two of my most recent. “http://homerefurbers.com/projects/324” and “http://homerefurbers.com/projects/390”. Hope this helps. -- Beth, Oklahoma, Rambling Road Designs
