Kat asked:


I have a new construction home and we want to build a 30 x 15 patio behind it. We’ve been exploring our options, trying to find a cheap way to do it seeing as we want it so big. We also don’t want alot of upkeep, so we’re leaning towards concrete. Anybody have any other ideas?

They provide a little shade but not much more. They look kind of greek. Not trellis, not gazebos, not roofs, but something else… Dang it! I know this but cant think of it!!!!
