A pergola with motorized canopy beneath and patio. Works with a remote control.

Statuary by Jules Pietras dynastybeach@hotmail.com . This one is made of recycled plywood. Believe it or not he said he wouldnt sell it because it wouldnt last outside... I told him it should be inside. I thought it was gorgeous.

The central pergola with awning inside. More Statuary by Jules Pietras dynastybeach@hotmail.com . Connie Cadotte was the Garden Designer for the booth. http://www.gardenretreats.ca/

A trelliswork screen and post detail that I designed specifically for the show.

Water feature with trelliage backdrop.
The booth was very busy with 10 or so people in the booth throughout most of the show.

The show was very last minute. Kudos for Connie pulling it together so well. I had a difficult time sourcing sponsors for any materials in this economy. It was a pleasure working with Connie Cadotte and Gelderman Landscaping. It sure was nice to see real plants in bloom in February in Toronto.

The fact of the matter is that Dave from Deck Masters of Canada Building Supply, supplied his shop facilities, trucks and vans, and manpower for set up and tear down of the pergola display. Not to mention all the materials to construct and stain the pergola and screens at an approximate cost of $4500.00. Steve from Shade FX supplied the remote control pergola canopy. Nick from Footprint Construction supplied many hours of building time, I would say that is quite a sponsorship in this economy. If you are going to boast on how great you are, you should also boast about the individuals that make you look so great. I'm hoping that you will start sharing all the facts in your future postings Posted: 9:06 am on July 24th
