well if that isn't the cutest "shed". Looks like a proper cottage to me.
I can imagine it now with blooms climbing up and spilling over... nice.

I just designed it myself and cut the ends with a jigsaw, sawed little
grooves for each top board (also with grooves) to slide into and had a
strong guy friend dig holes for the posts. On the sides I stapled the
rectangle pattern chicken wire that stays obscured & they just love to
climb on.

here's the pergola when it was new with moonflowers. You can see
how tiny the Montana is in its first summer. This is Sept. 2007.
