Hello all. I've read some past posts on Pergolas, so I thought I'd post some pics of the new Pergola I just built and installed. It is all vinyl, about 10' by 12'.
First we ripped up the old 12' x 12' patio that was cracked, etc and poured a new 600 sq ft new patio. I then built the Pergola. The next phase I'll start soon is I'll apply a translucent colored acid stain and sealer to the patio to add color and protect the concrete. Then off of the back of the house I'll build a new 24' x 14' roofed and screened in lanai.
Here is a "before" picture;
Here are "after" pictures so far.....
Before anyone asks, yes I did have our HOA's approval and did get building permits...
The main reason I installed the Pergola is to keep out the afternoon sun from the two windows.....it has worked out great, and we really like it. I checked all over the internet and got the best price for the Pergola through Costco. The Pergola came from New England Arbors. I did the install myself of course.
