What better way to shade, or create a sitting area on the back or front of your house for use in the spring, summer, and autumn? If you build exactly as the plans detail, the cover is 16' wide, by 12' deep. The slatted roof is a unique design which allows some sunlight through while still providing shade -- it's a style that will accomodate vining plants quite well. Plans include a full list of the materials you need, instructions for construction, and large measured drawings suitable for you OR your contractor.
