Default Could use some advice/input about having two custom pergolas built

That's not a pergola in my opinion.


Yes, it's called an arbor. I don't know the difference really. I
wouldn't class it as a trellis although it has one incorporated in the
design.


That's a basic arbor that can be built with
very basic hand tools.


I found and ordered a kit for two different sizes, thanks to a poster
who encouraged me to do a massive search (had before), after looking at
umpteen photos, I found one. Now that I know the design names, I can
google them and come up with all sorts of places that sell the exact
same thing.


Lowes or Home Depot will have several books on
"Garden Structures"...


:-). I have a bad habit of buying a book, then never get the real
thing. I do have a book of plans for gazebos somewhere around here. I
don't really have room for one of those; the arbors will suffice. If
they hold together.

pergolas built EXACTLY like the one I posted at the link, 155 KB slow

before that size with high speed:
