Growing all thruout the driveway is Wisteria, that is just beautiful in bloom.So, now it will have a place to climb just a little more.
This view shows the 3-tiers (triple Gems) of the Pergola - which matches the layout of the neighboring fence and the concepts of great teachers.
Another view of the Triple Gems. An interesting point of view as it shows the convergence of the middle tier.
The view from Woodruff's window... my personal favorite.
Work in progress:
The 1st (lowest) level consists of 2 individual, parrallel beams.
The 2nd (middle) level converges both beams into a single, focused point.
The 3rd (highest) level is made of a single beam appearing to balance itself (as it is slightly off center) at only one point of support.
To give the overall design some character, I copied this connector finial which I noticed on a previous 'secret garden tour of Oakland' (thank u Angi).
Explanation: The upper sleeve receives the next tier while the lower Rabbet cut is in line with the previous tiers sleeve. The locking bar is an old copper pipe (M. Talbot donations).
A jigsaw puzzle for sure... at least on paper.
