 will have a shorter lifetime, and after several years 

 signs of weakness must be looked for. A spur of 

 larch or oak going deep into the ground and nailed or 

 bolted to a shaky post will prolong its life for some 

 more years, but there always comes a time of sore 

 regret (when constant repair is needed) that it was not 

 made more structurally permanent at the beginning. 



The sides of the pergola may be much ornamented 

 by hanging garlands of Roses trained to chains.
