ARBOR END CUT DETAILS
 

      Not enough height to build a standard arbor?

 There was no room under the eaves and above the sliding door to build a standard arbor, so we hung the rafters off the main beam using 6x6 cutoffs. Please do not try to do this on your own, if not done exactly right, the joists will fall and serious injury can occur.

COVERED FIBERGLASS ARBOR

Most fiberglass covered arbors are very unattractive because you see the fiberglass. On our arbors the 2x2s are installed first then  the fiberglass. You see very little fiberglass, leaving  a rainproof arbor that is funtional and beautiful.
