Re: [Fwd: new pergola/arbor]

Hey now, I'll be in your neck of the woods in about 10 days. Get that weather in shape please! Fine tune that rain dance & send it on to the folks that need it, OK? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Apking" <redfour@omni-tech.net>

Hey Theresa, If you made it out of very heavy structural steel, you
could have a wisteria attempt to destroy it.  The fight would be
something to see.  Rich, dodging hail, tornados, torrential rains, and
floods in Z-5

I have an arbor, http://tinyurl.com/4xaf7w
a shelter of vines or branches or of latticework covered with
climbing shrubs or vines

A trellis is more 2 dementional, a frame of latticework used as a
screen or as a support for climbing plants

Then there's the allie
a walkway lined with trees or tall shrubs

What exactly is the difference between a pergola and an arbor? or a
trellis for that matter?

Anyway, pics of my new one are here.  Very happy with how it came out.
The contractor made it exactly as I'd wanted. :-)
