The 12x12 concrete pad was under a hot tub the previous owner had in a private side yard of our CYV. I finished it with ceramic tile.

The pergola is a perfect addition, and still looks new four years later. I searched the internet extensively. Vinyl and cedar pergolas are more expensive. If you'd like to see a photo, send me a PM with your email address.
I was up at Sam's (in VA) yesterday and they had one on display for $399.00. It was cedar and you have to assemble it yourself. I am sending you a PM as we are also interested in putting one in yard just as soon as we get there!
