DIY wooden pergolas

First of all, Happy New Year, all the best to you and your families. 

Usually we start the year with a photo wishing you Happy New Year but this time things were a little bit hectic. We decided to construct on our own two wooden pergolas to provide extra shade for the coffee house!!! Here are a few selected pictures of our work. We still have a lot to do but the weather is not playing nice at the moment. Lots of rain and strong cold winds, followed by snow on the mountains around the plateau, make it difficult to work outside.

These are the two metal pergolas we want to replace, on the right and left of the coffee house.

Disassembling the first one.

Indoor painting of wooden beams and purlins.

Installing the first ledger board.

Securing the posts and the corbels for the girders.

Girders in place.

Adding the rafters.

The same process will be followed in the second pergola.

Progress of the second pergola up to now.

6 meter rafters for the second pergola.

We will keep you up to speed with as many regular posts as possible, weather permitting.

Cloudy but impressive!!!

To the left, the village of Patsianos, in the middle, Kallikratis' gorge and to the right, the beginning of the road to Kallikratis village.

Morning dawn!!!

Dancing moments in Frangokastello fortress!

More photos will probably follow tomorrow. This one is from the celebrations, after the end of the open water swimming competition, in Frangokastello, Sfakia.

Relax in Sfakia! - Χαλαρώστε στα Σφακιά!

Ilingas beach, is situated in Southern Crete, only a few minutes drive from Chora Sfakion. It has more than meets the eye. Swim to discover the two protected beaches nearby.

Η παραλία Ίλιγκας, βρίσκετε στη Νότια Κρήτη, μόλις λίγα λεπτά από τη Χώρα Σφακίων. Κρύβει εκπλήξεις. Εκτός από τις περίφημες σπηλιές της, κολυμπήστε για να ανακαλύψετε τις δύο παρακείμενες μικρές παραλίες.
