We recently constructed this cedar arbor for one of our customers in Allen, TX. The overall size is 14'x14'. We installed four 6"x6" cedar posts, 2"x10" beams, 2"x6" rafters, and 2"x2" slats on top for shade. Afterwards, we applied an oil based stain. We normally use pre-stained cedar but due to a shortage from our supplier we did it old school. Either way, this job turned out great and our customer is really happy. This is what he texted me:
"Job looks great. Looks solid. Feels good."
