We added a 12x18 pergola covered patio off of our indoor dining room so we can enjoy the garden while eating!

The second pergola is down in the garden away from the house. I just posted pics of that one too!

This is a beautiful outdoor space. My husband and I are doing a similar pergola. We have torn out our builder grade 10'x10' concrete patio and have created a 14'x18' cobblestone paver patio. We have also sunk the 6"x6" posts for a 10'x12' pergola. The paver patio is almost complete and then we'll start on the pergola. I like your chandelier but what do you do when it rains? Does it affect the electrical components?

Thank y'all so much for your wonderful feedback!!! I am very sorry I haven't commented back to any of you sooner, I didn't realize there were so many comments!!

OK, here are some quick answers:

1. Yes, the pergola was built by scratch.
2. The fabric used is a heavy canvas and they hang from rods made out of wood spindles (no detail) and chains.
3. I haven't found any fabric that doesn't attract mold in more shaded places.
4. No, I don't leave the curtains up all year, they get really ratty over the winter, so they come down in the fall.
5. Yes, it is absolutley wonderful to enjoy dinner or entertaining in this space, it was one of the smartest additions we did!

Now that I know I can comment, let m eknow if I missed any questions y'all had!!

Just beautiful. This is the exact look I am hoping to build for my first house to go with my outdoor kitchen (another project) and hot tub. I plan on using the outdoor waterproof fabric. Is that what you used? 5 stars!!!
