This was a fun project. I was able to get this lumber from a saw mill that cuts logs for log homes. The posts are actual 8×8”, the framing was actual 4” x 12” with enough material to cut an arch. The top perlins are actual 2” x 10”. They did not not want big posts next to the house so we made brackets that mounted to the framing of the house along with bracing on the rafter tails. The finish on it is the same type that is used on the exteriors of log homes.

Good proportions on the project, it must have been difficult to plan around that overhang.

I like the bracket idea – I might have to use that …

Nothing chincy about this build. It must be nice to go outside and admire it! Nice work!

Nicely done, Mark. I may have to do something like that on our patio, and the notion of getting the stuff from a mill is uptown.

Thanks everyone. My customers really enjoys it. Here is another photo after the original one was taken. This was my customers design and I built it out of left overs. She thought the whole thing had a slight oriental flare, so she designed this and we made this plant climber for one end of it.
