Shade for the Deck.

Before......
Taking it all a part.

Ta da!

After....



I loved the deck off of the sun room but in the summer it was just too hot to sit out there or even grow any plants.  It was in the full sun all day long. I came up with the idea to put a pagoda over half of it and grow wisteria on it.  That would give us the shade we needed along with the umbrella over the table and chairs.  The problem was coming up with an idea on how to do it since all the posts were already short and how to make it go over the bedroom window.  After  Chuck, Troy and I, brain stormed, we figured out how it could be done.  First, Chuck and Troy had to take the railings off the deck and then take two of the short posts out so they could replace them with tall ones.  In two days, it was done!  With Troy's decorative touches on the wood, it turned out wonderful!  Now, to just plant the wisteria so it can get growing and give us the shade, along with the beautiful flowers that it will provide every Spring.
