So, I have spent the past three days getting wrapped up on a huge pergola out in Sugar Hill GA (that's out of exit 14 off GA 400), and it was a resounding sucess! The homeowner was really pleased, and I came away with some great pictures!
<----- this is a photo of the work almost completed, with the crown casings around the columns almost done, and looking GOOD!
That is Walter in the picture, working away.
The project is built on the rear of a house, and will be stained to match the siding. A pavestone patio is below it, and I am lobbying for confederate Jasmine for a training vine. The pergola at the top of the last post is covered in it, and I think it looks great!
This is a detail of the upper columns. I have found a crown molding made of plastic, so it can be safely used outdoors, and will last for 10+ years without danger of rot, termites, or warping! Its also eco-friendly, as it is made fo recycled plastics and polystyrene products. <---- Wow, those corners look good!
Anyway, I will be sure to get some pictures of this thing after Mr. F stains it (the homeowner) and get some plants going. It will really give him great use of his patio, and some much needed shade for the backyard, which gets full sun exposure almost all day.
Check back with us for more photos and projects. The Sugarloaf Country Club is our next stop, for a handmade Cypress Gazebo and Pergola to match! Whoo Hoo!!
