Don’t you just love a beautiful outdoor room?
There is just something that happens to a patio
when it’s covered with a pergola… instant room!
Wouldn’t this be a lovely place for dinner?
Love the trees entwined….
A rustic space…
Just gorgeous at night… love the drapes and chandelier
White column make this a classic beauty!
So here is where we are…ok, we’ve gotten a little further than this…
Last Saturday, Hubby and Dad dug eight 30” holes (not a fun job).
On Monday we start to put in the posts. Making sure they were level and spaced properly took awhile.
We got 6 posts in and 4 filled with concrete.
Only the dark post are staying. The others we used as supports to keep everything in place as the concrete dried.
The posts are 10 feet apart. The pergola will be 12×12 feet in total size (the top beams with be 12 feet). We will have a pergola on the left side and on the right side. Between the 2 pergolas we are hanging a square sail shade.
We’re “hoping” to have it finished by Father’s Day!

Ooh, I can't wait to see the finished product! What a great project!
I want one too! Can't wait to see how yours turns out
This is so exciting!! Can't wait to see how it turns out!! I LOVE the idea of outdoor rooms…especially the ones with fireplaces… I love that first pic and then the night one… drooooooolll!
Oh wow. I can't wait to see the it finished.
oh man, that will look amazing. totally jealous, and solidifies that i must amp up "talk boyfriend into building pergola" phase.
Gorgeous! I'll take one of each in my backyard, please. Definitely showing this post to the hubs. Lots of inspiration here! Can't wait to see your finished project!!
I LOVE that first picture. Totally stealing it from you.
And your pergola sounds gorgeous!
CAn't wait to see it when it is finished! We want one for our patio but don;t think that The Hubster is quite handy enough for a DIY project that big!;)
Oh my, that is going to be an impressive pergola! I can't wait the finished photograph! Thanks for sharing!

I am SO excited! My hubbie will be building us one this month. I can't wait to show everyone. We live with his mom right now, so it will stay here (dang it) but I can't wait!
I am, I admit a bit envious.
I'm wondering where I could find the space for one of these at our home. Can't wait to see the finished project as I know you will trick it out with style.
Thank you for wanting to feature my chair wall art this week. I am blushing here.

I so love pergolas! We hope one day to add one to the front porch of our house! Love the pictures!
Kathy
Seems like so much work, but will be so worth it in the end. Can't wait to see the whole patio finished.

Can't wait to see it when it's all finished. That is one ambitious project!
