We are considering our options for replacing our front porch. Originally, we considered replacing it with a pergola. However, we wanted something more traditional. So, we’ve received some estimates for putting up a gabled roof. The cost is surprising. So, we’re back at pergola considerations. Here are some of our inspiration photos:
Have any of you ever put up a pergola? We’ve looked at some plans and we’ve been told it can be a DIY project. However, because we’d like to be attached to the house, I think we may need a professional.
Jeff Glueck built his own – perhaps he can assist.
My closest friend, Shandry built her own (his husbands assistance) at her old house in East Nashville. It is gorgeous, but not attached to the house. She’d be down to bounce ideas off of and let you know her experience. Let me know if you want to get in touch.
Sure, I’d love to know what she did. You can email it to me.
