Love Gardening! Issue #33: Alan's Amazing Patio Pergola
August 10, 2024
Hi,

Issue #33

Alan's Amazing Patio Pergola. Just look at this!


Well, we have yet another brilliant pergola!

This one was built by Alan from the Free Pergola Plans. It's definitely a bespoke patio pergola to fit his own style preferences and space.

And what a great job he has done! He has studied the plans, looked through the suggestions for adapting different parts of the pergola and come up with something that is a quality piece of work. Well done Alan! I should imagine you're extremely proud of your handy-work.

Some of the modifications he has chosen to make are really interesting. The main thing is that all parts of the patio pergola are well-balanced and in proportion (Wouldn't we all like to be like that!).

I counted seven changes that make Alan's pergola a unique and attractive seating area. Can you work out what they are? Find out more about the modifications, here.

Alan's project is a fabulous example of how adapting the plans create a structure significantly different from the basic plans.

He also shares a tip on how to remove the iron marks made at the sawmill, which you can clearly see on the surface of the wood. This substance worked a treat, and you can see how beautiful the wood is afterwards: so smooth and even.

Take a look in more detail at Alan's project and how he managed to create such a wonderful patio pergola.

We'll be looking at other wonderful pergolas soon, so keep the photos coming. Everyone loves to see them!

Until next time...

All the best,


Coming Soon

Ponds can be a magical thing and also a great source of frustration for some homeowners if plagued with cloudy water and strings of unattractive algae choking the water, plants and pumps.

I did promise to have a word about ponds so hopefully next time we'll find out how to make your pond water crystal clear and free of blanket weed with this very simple tip. I have only just discovered it and have never seen it suggested anywhere before.

This will be a first!
