The wind channel openings of a pergola appear to be more tornado proof than gazebos as they don’t have an enclosed roof to act like a sail in 80+mph straight line winds and circling nader forces. It's funny you say that because I lost my covered pergola at my old home in Justin when a tornado hopped over us about 15 years ago. Took my polycarbonate roof off my pergola and deposited it into my front yard. The rafters were still attached to the roofing, it ripped the rafters off the headers and they were screwed down. That's when I realized the toughness and durability of that polycarbonate roofing. My uncovered pergola wasn't phased.

But what if the roof is perfectly balanced with cantilevered 40 lb glass ash trays? I just have to figure out what height to counteract the sail in 80 mph winds. Just to not be ghey, I was thinking about installing a bidet somewhere off the back. Thoughts?

The guy dug twelve foot deep holes for the posts and I thought it was excessive but I guess it is a pretty large sail in the wind. Now I just need Steez to hang some 15" subs off the front edge and point them due south to keep ol' George on his toes back there. I've never been into gangster rap but I might try it a spell just to jack with ol George. Seriously though..... I bought a couple of those fake rocks with speakers in them three years ago when we built and the same speakers are TWICE THE PRICE for the same fake rocks. I'm wondering if the blonde would notice some thrown together fake, fake rocks that sound like hell if I grabbed a few of the water meter rock-looking covers the city gives you and strap a 6X9 to it.
