10 foot by 12 foot pergola with a 90% uv blocking shade cloth stapled over top of the runners to keep the kiddos cool. Again this is the biggest thing I've built to date and it absolutely kicked my ass, but every single nut and screw in this damn thing was turned by these very sore hands.

Looks great, but also looks like a US suburb where people will lose their minds over the rainbow theme.

Thanks! We are in a suburb in the south, but we happen to live in one of the more tolerant bubbles. It's even one of the few churches where they say that anyone and everyone is welcome and actually mean it. However I'm sure you're right and there will be someone bitching about me "mAKinG tHe wOoD gAy." But fuckem lol

Keep up the good fight. Don't people know that all bundles of wood are gay?

Lol I believe all trees are bisexual...

They'll go whichever way the wind blows.

Looks great! I'm guessing it's on screw piles so it doesn't blow away?

Thanks! And you would be correct.
