What happens here

Finish the exterior walls of the pergola with white vinyl siding, matching the main house. Inside the pergola, install a high-quality wood ceiling (e.g., cedar or similar wood panels) by screwing the panels directly to the underside of the rafters. Also, build an outdoor kitchen and bar structure by applying stone veneer to the concrete block base previously built, and capping it with a stone countertop. For the bar, construct a frame and clad it with composite decking. Install wire railings for a modern look and unobstructed views around the deck perimeter.

Goal: Complete the aesthetic and functional elements of the pergola and outdoor kitchen.
