Hey everyone,
The mrs and I have been thinking about a pergola for the backyard. We came across this one and both really like it. Before I take it to Home Depot/Rona/BMR Lumber/etc and talk to them, Im just curious about the cost of something like this. Can anyone out there, who has experience buying wood like this, look at the list of materials and give a ballpark cost? Im not looking for anything specific. Just want to get an idea before we get our hearts set on it and such.
Here is the link and if that doesnt work, the materials are listed below.
Thanks a ton guys and gals.
