A couple of people emailed me asking what I meant by "lattice" and "flower boxes" so this post is mostly about the rough pic showing most of what I was talking about. The top will have lattice too, but attempting to draw lattice conforming to a curve in an orthographic projection using MS Paint is beyond me! Eventually I'll figure out how to do it in SketchUp, but for now, shrug.In thinking about this design, I think if I had the skills and right tools, I would make the Arbor frame out of powder coated welded steel for durability and to give it a more "airy" feeling & to allow it to survive outdoors longer. Vinyl instead of wood lattice was selected by the couple for its durability. But, wood for the frame is warmer to the touch and more relaxed than formal & it will be beautiful. (Fingers crossed)
Oh, in this Home Depot picture you can see what I was talking about regarding wood patches to tie the top and the sides together. I'm glad we can do without those!
