Adding a feature to your garden or courtyard might include building a pergola or arbor. Freestanding or attached to your home, a pergola or arbor is usually designed to be a shaded walkway or relaxation area.
What You Will Need:
- posts: (4) 4×4 @ 7′ 6.5″ . (8) 2×6 @ 8′ .
- beams: (2) 4×6 @ 12′ , option: 45 degree decorative bevel or corbel cut at ends
- braces: 2x4s size varies, see Step 4.
- runners: (11) 2×4 @ 5’8″ or 6′ , option: 45 degree decorative bevel or corbel cut at ends
In most cases, building a grape arbor doesn’t require a building permit, but we still recommend you to check the local building codes before starting the project on your own. Check out these plans via the link below!
