1. Construction consists of supporting poles, cross and side beams, shpalerny panels. Consider that wood for construction of pergola has to be rather strong to sustain the mass of climbers and influence of negative weather patterns.

Using corner or pipes, you can independently make plates of metal and place them in holes for support so that the upper edge of plates acted from the earth. After that wooden support need to be attached to plates by means of bolts.
