How to Plan For a New Timber Framed Pergola - 3 Steps to Take Before You Buy
by Hyrum Thompson
When looking for a timber framed pergola there are many things to look for, but here are three primary things to do before you take bids to ensure that you will get the most out of your budget.
Select a location: The location will help you determine a lot about your project. For instance, how big do you want your pergola to be? Much of that is determined by the amount of space that you have to work with. A backyard is usually the best place to install a pergola. However, there are times when you may want to have your new pergola installed in your front yard, or over a deck. The reasons for this vary, but a primary reason pergola's are installed in a front yard is because the front yard has the hot Western Sun beating down on it. Set a Budget: For many this seems like an obvious step, but very few actually do so until they have already started all of their planning. Then they get sticker shock because they haven't planned or told their contractors what their budget was. Do your Homework: Check out local displays, and view photos online. Print out similar pergolas that you like. This will help you know what you want before hand. It will also help when you are trying to explain to a contractor what you have in mind and help avoid miscommunication.Once you have completed these steps you are then ready to start taking bids, picking stains, styles etc. At this point you can then start looking for references. When working on your backyard remember to just have fun! Your backyard is about to become exciting and beautiful!

We love Lil Wayne, so we covered this song. This was not a competition on who did what better. Lil Wayne is a badass. The song in the beginning of the video is "Imitation Violence" by our good friends in Daybreak Drive, who are unfortunately no longer together.
