If you have no carpentry skills

June 20th, 2008

If you are anything like me and have no carpentry skills to speak of then perhaps a metal pergola. They are easy to assemble and great to look at. They are a little trickier if you want vining plants to run all over them but I found a secret that makes it work pretty good. What I did was to buy a bolt of cheese cloth and cut in into 4 inch wide strips that I wrapped round the metal pergola to give the vines something to grab onto. In less than a year after putting it up I have vining Jasmine and roses growing very nicely on my metal pergola.
