by Tom Madden


If you need to make your garden more elegant and environmentally friendly, so you better do the pergola. Do not put in a fantastic location for any structure or abroad, you can hang plants and vines can be left to grow could also do much to reduce the greenhouse effect, causing damage to our planet. These are the steps to create a pergola.

Choose the right place to build your own structure. It could be an independent frame of your house so that should be able to stand on it's own. This is the reason to choose the right area, make sure that there will be a place for the pillars.

Once you have selected the correct area, it is time to identify the columns under construction. The distance between the columns to be measured correctly and make sure it can support pylon, but at the same time, it is a small house, because too many columns. It is best to look at many projects, pergola and use the format you as a model.

Once you have successfully mapped the location of the pillars, it is time to build positions in these areas. The post will provide the basis for the pillar. Start by digging post holes, which should be deeper than three meters. Place posts in the middle hole, then pouring the concrete. Let the glue dry for a few days and then put the columns of these positions. Place pillar beams safely. Make sure that you have in mind the structure of the beam before it binds together, so there needs to be repeated. Also, make sure the beams are rigidly fixed to the pillar, so that whatever happens, the bar will remain attached to the pillars.

The last step in building a pergola is to decide on the plants or vines to be pressed in the rafters. Just be sure to select plants carefully taking important factors in the study as the insects that these plants usually attract.
