Getting It All Together



Finally got the arbor together.  Here is what the wedged through tenon looks like.  Yes, this is actually holding the thing together.

 

 

A variety of jars  with candles in them will be hanging on both sides.

 

 

Fence pickets do not come in lengths greater than 8’ and if I allowed 18” to extend past the posts (as all arbors do), that would have left only 4’ inside the posts.  So in order to get a 7’ span inside the posts, these extensions make it look like a 11’ beam.  They are attached after assembly so I don’t have to transport anything longer than 8’.
