PROIECT HIGHLIGHTS

Overall dimensions are 8OV2" wide x 41 3 A" deep x 92vV' high (in ground).

Materials needed: Pressure-treated 4x4 posts, dimensional cedar lumber and

decking, and 54" PVC lattice (optional), all found at your local home center.

A full-size pattern for creating a hardboard template makes laying out the curved

parts a snap.

The structure assembles easily using wood screws, lag screws, and nails.

A safe way to form rabbets and dadoes in large parts

Using your tablesaw to cut rabbets and dadoes in large parts, such as the posts (A) and joists (C), can be awkward and unsafe without proper workpiece support and guidance. Here's a simple and safe method for forming the joints using your circular saw. Keeping the saw tight against a guide, such as a speed square, cut a series of kerfs to the needed depth and approximately Vs" apart across the part along the length of the rabbet or dado, as shown. Break away the remaining thin pieces with a hammer. Then pare away the remaining material with a chisel to smooth the joint.
