The pergola is easy to build and it will create a nice retreat and serving area in the garden. The pergola is free standing and you can build it on a patio. You can adjust the level of shade of the pergola, by adding less or more top slats to the structure. In addition, just a few common tools are necessary, so you don't need a fully equipped and fancy workshop to start making projects! A list with all the tools that are needed is also present, along with Full Cut & Shopping lists and Layout diagrams for all material cuts and dimensions.
