Pergola Designs are there just for the simple reason to save a great deal of money in one of the most overcharged home and garden features. I know this for a fact because I built my own pergola in a long weekend holiday from scratch, using just a few basic tools like hammer, nails, saw, sandpaper, special wood stain and a pergola plan. A ready made kit would have set me back few thousand dollars, while my patio pergola construction only set me back few hundred dollars in materials, a carpenter friend help, a case of beer and a pergola design. Pergolas come in different size and shape, from rectangular or square, to circular or triangular, depending on location and use. They very much enhance the coziness of a garden or a patio, providing shade and a pleasant resting area. The only drawback to such an appealing piece of home and garden feature is the cost normally associated with ready made kits, or the technical difficulties in building one, should you lack carpeting skills. I am no carpenter, but with a bit of help and following a laid out pergola design I managed to set up a beautiful 2 levels patio pergola in the front of my house overlooking the garden. It is important to decide where to build your custom made pergola to begin with, so as to re-landscape the garden in necessary. Gardens, patios, and backyards are the locations of common choice, but it is also possible to build pergolas over walkways to draw the eye and give sun protection in a visually appealing way. Then size and shape can be decided, and finally the materials. Pergolas can be built with aluminium, vinyl, but most commonly wood. Wood is not only a very flexible and easy to build material, but it is also visually appealing, warm, and cozy. Cedar wood or red wood are excellent choices for their durability. It is better to stain and treat them against rot, though. I stained my red wood pergola with an outdoor resin based wood stain for protection against UVA and rain, which even increased the wood natural beauty by bringing out all the texture and patterns. Should you decide to build a wood deck underneath, then you should stain that with an oil based special deck paint for extreme protection to wear and tear as well as sun and rain. Pergola plans can vary a lot depending on size, style, and materials chosen, with some being inadequate, inaccurate, or too simplistic for proper construction. However it is still possible to find simple to follow but accurate designs, as I found myself. I built mine in a rugged style with uncut posts and tight joists to provide extra shade and support to the plants above, but you can make a stylish one with looser rail span or any style you like. There is also one more positive element in addition to the money saved while doing it, and it is the satisfaction of having made a DIY structure with your own hands. Just this will give you extra pleasure while chilling out with family and friends in your pergola shade. After the construction, you can further enhance the appeal of your pergola with climbing plants and flowers for extra shade and beauty, as I did. Having no experience in carpentry what so ever, I still managed to build in 3 days a DIY patio pergola that will offer shade and comfort for years to come while having saved a lot of money as a icing on the cake.

définitiuon de pergola?

Aug 30, 2006 by roserouge | Posted in Décoration

nous avons acheté un pavillon, mais il est mouillé, il fuit quand il pleut, le fabricant a répondu qu'il devrait le retirer quand il pleut, il n'est pas garanti dans ce cas.

pergola a une structure principale de bois et de fuite provient d'une mauvaise circulation de l'eau de pluie (pas une structure amovible).
