And… saved our fave for last. Have you ever been to a Asian garden where they had a “moon gate”? They have a spiritual significance, and they are stunning. I. Want. One. And I searched for hours trying to find you all a tutorial… and, finally, I did it. From ‘DIY Network‘, watch this video on how to build a pergola moon gate.
