The other pergola is 'normal'.
Yes, we have a pergola in the front of the property as well.
The orchids need the protection from the sun. Which also makes it a perfect place for thinking and writing.
I also thought it would be the perfect spot to relax with a book, out of the sun's glare in the aroma of the orchids.
I don't seem to sit for too long......off on some other project.
Now, the project of the pergola on the dock........
You see, we had this old hobie- we used it as a float from which to jump into the water and ease getting out of the kayaks.
It started sinking......and sinking.........
We don't like wasting anything...after fruitless attempts to fix it, recycling was in order.
If not a boat ............?
The boys had the idea of.....yes, another pergola.
STep by step,
the boat converted to a plane and now flies happily above the dock providing shade. We never really use the big davits so they suspend the pergola.
How about some cold watermelon!
