I have an ugly pergola (if you can even call it that) off the back of my house.  It's pretty much just a bunch of rotting wood held to the house by nails, yes NAILS, topped with corrugated plastic roofing.  It's super ghetto, all I can think about when I'm in the back yard is what I can replace it with.  After tons of research I think I've found the perfect solution in a simple modern wood structure that would work well with the Spanish style of the houses' exterior.  I'd also love to replace my single door with glass french doors, but it's just a rental...which doesn't really mean anything to me so I'll probably end up doing that some time down the road.
