Made in Michigan and meant to last a lifetime: a steel lattice pergola from Branch Studio that adds architectural interest to the garden.
Based on the design of an antique French garden piece, the all-steel pergola weighs a lot; in fact, it' "so heavy that it can in most cases be installed without a foundation." (You can install it on a pad of decomposed granite and compacted gravel.)
Above: Complete with roof and finial detail, a Branch Lattice Gloriette pergola is $12,000 from Detroit Garden Works.
Above: The pergola can be powder coated in the color of your choice or left unfinished to age naturally. For more details, see Detroit Garden Works.
