Garden Arbor




Mom wanted an arbor for her rose garden. I bought a bunch of 4x4s of construction-grade cedar and cut them down to 3x3s for the posts and used the off-cuts to make the lattice. I think it came out pretty good for not having a plan, and the fact that it didn't take very long is a bonus.
