The simple pergola plans use trellis for the roof instead of many of the rafters, cutting down on the quantity of materials, time, effort and brain power. Yet the finished structure is fantastic. The trellis fits neatly inside the four rafters, giving a very clean finish.
I caught a glimpse of one of these on 'Gardeners World' a little while ago and it looked fabulous. They had painted theirs in a cream colour. It had no trellis at the sides and the plants were growing up the posts. You can add trellis on the sides and even on the back - to make a shady retreat, if you wish.
I reckon that if you prepared in advance, you could build this pergola in an afternoon - or a day at the most.
