41) Vine-Covered Pergola #2
This is a pergola with a classic charm and a fantastic glow. Most people think of pergolas as an outdoor white structure and this plan does not fail to prove that design. This is a vine-covered pergola that has large columns for posts.

This pergola has been erected on a flat and tiled area in a backyard but you can also construct this near your pool or in your patio barbeque area. This is a complex project but with the plans, we have here you will surely find it easier to complete.
