Build a Pergola in 15 minutes
A couple shade structures would increase the amount of area in my yard available for growing plants and so I'm thinking about adding a couple along the sides of my house. This one looks nice, but I'm not sure about doing a project like this! Also something a little more lightweight would be more than adequate as far as I'm concerned.

This looks like an easy product to set up. The only question I'd have is how well does it stand up to extreme wind?

How to build a Simple Stand-alone Sun Shade - Shelter
There are lots of possible designs and the amount of money you put into one of these can vary greatly. This example looks nice, but probably didn't cost all that much and best of all it's not so complicated that a home owner couldn't do it herself!
