Ah. Hey, I am donating one of those to a charity auction this Saturday Night. The material cost for the Cedar is about $1500 to $1800. If you really want the design I can give it to you.

8" x 8" posts. 8' long
4" x 12" beams. 20' long
2" x 8" joists. 16' long (2 foot spacing)
2" x 2" rails on top 20' long (actually 10 footers end to end. They are 2x4's split) (4" spacing)

You have to use a chain saw to notch the corner posts for the beams.

damn, that don't block shit out. Yeah, you gotta put the 2 x 2's on top to give the shade or to let the vines grow.

You will need to stagger where they start though. Start in the middle with one, then center the next two but only go back as far as you can to get the 2 inch spacing.

Sweet! I was just in the market for that kind of idea but I need more shade.
Probably going with a full roof.

3/4 and yes it is a New Branfels smoker. One of my foremen bought it for me for Christmas a few years ago. It works pretty well.
