i have designed a few in my day but i doubt you would want to use the designs. they were pretty elaborate and costly.

if its something i can look at and make some modifications here and there and make it fit ill be happy... ive got the pergola from PM but i dont see it looking right when resized.. ill list what mine is for

homecoming football game at halftime they parade the girls and guys that are running for homecoming king/queen and take their pic under an arbor.. so im guessing its gotta be 7' tall (walk through area) and maybe lil wider than a standard door.

Lightbulb *** Size Matters! ***

Make sure you take into account that BOTH people will be walking through the arbor AT THE SAME TIME...

Look the court over and take the biggest guy and the biggest gal and start your design from there...

Otherwise, the court will look like bumbling idiots trying to look good while nervously trying to "squeeze" throught a too-small doorway...

Once you have the entry figured out, then design the rest...

Enjoy!
