Alfresco ideasBuilding A New House

Jan 25, 2010 8:37 pm

I didnt get an alfresco area with my plan and want to build a really nice one on the side of my house quite a big area too. But i dont like the tinny put in pergolas you see on TV or on most places. Any ideas? I want to get something that looks like its built with the house with a real solid roof.
