It was a big job reinstalling them in the spring.<br /><br />The company made sunbrella covers that when the shades are compressed the covers fit over them and snap shut. We purchased them for this year and they worked great!<br /><br />These are really an innovative idea and are used mostly in the south, but our patio was like living in the south.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-61654648766648041892010-05-04T09:06:44.131-05:002010-05-04T09:06:44.131-05:00We gardeners make so many decisions in our head, a...We gardeners make so many decisions in our head, alone, that sometimes it becomes difficult to engage in a dialogue about our outdoor space with someone else. I've had animated discussions on similar topics with my wife. <br /><br />In the end, your pergola is spectacular. I hope it brings you great pleasure. The sunbrella is a very clever idea. Do you need to remove it in winter to avoid damage from snow?allanbecker-gardenguruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249183285802762125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-37220185155351735502010-05-04T08:25:10.082-05:002010-05-04T08:25:10.082-05:00It's beautiful!
