When you need
to know how to build a pergola, they're simply the surest way to transform any
area of the garden into an inviting outdoor room.
Pergola designs for the do it yourself pergola
range from strictly architectural to a soft canopy of fabric or
foilage.
And syndicated national home deisgner, Charles Kirkland,
illustrates the secret to how to make a pergola that
instantly gives you a relaxing outdoor retreat without ever
leaving home.
That seems like an
obvious question but, trust me, it's very important.
Here's
Charles Kirklands advice:
Even though I'm an designer and have created thousands
of building plans, I did not give proper thought about where
to put our pergola. I simply put the pergola in the bare
area of our garden.
Instead
of randomly choosing a place to put your pergola, you need to
consider the following:
* Direction.
North-facing pergolas make the best use of the sun.
* Proximity to
trees. If you want a lot of shade, position it closer to trees. If
you less shade, position it away from trees. Speaking of trees, if
your trees need trimming and pruning, get that done
before you put up your pergola.
* Ordinances and restrictions. Check with your
city hall to see if there are restrictions on where you can put your
pergola.
The purpose of your pergola will largely dictate where
you put it.
There are extremely affordable and you or any
builder will be able to understand them.
Should you have
any difficulty when you use the plans, you can send me
an e-mail and I'll help you.
Sometimes people wonder why I sell these plans
so cheaply. Why don't I sell pergola kits for hundreds and thousands
of dollars instead and make a real killing in the pergola market?
Frankly, I'm
not interested in that. I love pergolas and the more pergolas, the
better. If I can encourage you to do it yourself with my plans,
it will be easier for you to afford a pergola.
