What's this?

Anybody install a pergola before? We want one in our backyard.

Trying to figure out the best way to go about it. Hire someone or do it ourselves. Want the canopy added too.

Seems like something you could contract someone for, no?

Costco has a few kits you can buy online, but recommend -- kjhokie 06/14/2020 12:52PM

True, but miss utility will only mark in the right of way. Tizzle would -- Conan the Hokie 06/14/2020 10:58AM

In Virginia, miss utility marks all the utilities on my property. ** -- dolph 06/14/2020 11:03AM

They aren't marking things like private sprinkler systems or -- RTFC 06/14/2020 8:40PM

Yep, they will show up, trace the lines, lay down paint, and depart -- EDGEMAN 06/14/2020 12:19PM

Interesting. Is that when you called in the ticket or you had a contractor -- Conan the Hokie 06/14/2020 11:09AM

I built one from a kit years ago. Home Depot or Lowe's (??), I forget. -- PhotoHokieNC 06/14/2020 10:47AM

Do your research and you can build it yourself. -- EDGEMAN 06/14/2020 10:15AM
