Side trellis elements are incorporated to support climbing vines or flowering plants, giving you the option to create natural privacy screens or decorative elements. The materials list specifies pressure-treated lumber recommendations to ensure your finished pergola withstands weather conditions for years.

These plans include foundation options for different terrain types, allowing installation on concrete, pavers, or directly in-ground with proper anchoring.
