Which is less expensive: a pergola or an awning?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-pergola.htm">cost to build a pergola</a> ranges from <b>$2,200 to $6,400</b>, whereas the average cost of an awning ranges from <b>$1,400 to $4,400</b>, meaning that an awning tends to be less expensive to build or install than a pergola. Ultimately, the less expensive option depends on a few factors, including size, quality of materials used, and location.</p></div>

Can I build an arbor or pergola myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for basic designs. Professional installation ensures stability and compliance with building codes.</p></div>

What size hole do I need for a four-by-four post?

• <div><p>Your fence post holes should be about three times as wide as the post. So if your post is 4-by-4 inches, you should make your hole at least 12 inches wide. The depth of the hole depends on the height of your post, but it should be as deep as one-third of the post height. </p></div>

What other projects should I do at the same time as installing a trellis?

• <div><p>Other projects that you can do at the same time as your trellis include painting the deck , installing a pergola, or adding mulch to your garden beds.</p></div>

What is the best angle for bracing?

• <div><p>A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.</p></div>
