Ortho's All about Deck and Patio Upgrades

I bought this book for ideas for a patio with a pergola. Because of the reviews it had, I thought it would be a good idea. It was! Now the problem is how do I decide what to do. I have too many likes and not enough space to incorporate them all. Oh well, guess I will have more thinking to do.

I was very pleased at all the ideas and step by step instructions in this book. I wanted to build a cover for my patio and bought this just based on the front cover (had a picture of the type of cover I'm looking for). With great suggestions on what MY patio might need, I'm going forward with my plans! Before this I had no idea where to start. Now I have a good amount of information to make me feel comfortable with drawing up the plans, figuring out my materials list, and starting the project. The photos in here offer some great ideas and really get the creative juices flowing.
