This client liked the neighbors project so much they decided to continue it into their yard. The two sections or steps on the right, as you will notice, are actually in the neighbors yard. The neighbors project is featured below this one. Since they liked the neighbors design, it just made sense to utilize it and continue it into their own yard. They essentially get to "use" the neigbors project as part of their own.

This project was designed to obscure as much of the roofline of the house behind it as possible. (above)
Notice how the structures provide cover and privacy for the neighbors windows looming down over the yard. (below)

This is 3x CON HRT Rough Redwood with a solid color stain tinted to match the transparent stain used on the fence. It is constructed of 6x6 posts, 3x8 support lintels, 3x10 rafters, and 3x3 lattice. Notice that the posts in most projects are purposly lined up with the fence posts to keep the background as subtle or uniform as possible. If the fence posts are between the pergola posts they tend jump out visually and create caos or distraction in the background.
