So many options! To build integrated into the existing waist high fence, to use wood, PVC, galvanized pipe, size... I need to get something put up by early June, along with automated watering before I visit family and am away for a few weeks.


Thinking about it, I can use the pressure treated lumber for potting benches, and PVC for the frame of the structure with paneling on 2 sides with the other 2 sides being walls of house/shed and a shade cloth ceiling. Best of all worlds and can have a small section with a fiberglass ceiling for the orchids needing a hard winter rest... Anyone have suggestions for sources of PVC to build this structure?

Is there a specific type of PVC used for structures like this?

Never built a bush house, but did build a pagola once, I suggest whatever PVC you use, make sure it is UV protected, PVC are not all made equal.
