I quite fancy building one. Do they come as kits? Can you take the width / span of them down? - I can't deicde if I'd like one either over my decking (though, its' the BBQ site really..), or over the kitchen window/path which leads to the decking along the backside of the house. (south-south-east facing I think).
I'd like to try growing grapes up it (hoping they'll survive the winter), and depending on where I site it I can get them in the open ground.. however both places where they'd be planted have quite a large palm tree on (which my neighbours says have flowered for the first time - 5 huge spears with tiny white flowers all over - really nice, loads of bees around too.) - so may be shaded during the later parts of the day until the vine grows up over it.
I've had a search, but most of the posts are quite old.. do any of you have pergolas over decking? If so any chance you can bung a piccy up please? Would like to see how it looks. Will upload a couple of photos where I'm thinking of building it later.
Have any of you stained your pergola, and are growing edibles up it? I know most fence paints are "plant safe" but none say veg safe.
Do Rasberries grow high? I've an All Gold that seems to be growing madly - over the wall where the decking is.. have wondered ifI could train it up a post.
