Butt joints and toe nails might make for a cool garage band name, but it’s not a recommended method of construction for your garage arbor!
This homeowner began a project 6 years ago, and like so many DIY projects, it never quite got finished. And then the design flaws started to show. As the vines crept up, the supports started getting pulled down. That’s a problem.

With a few strategic notches cut into the original supports and some structural screws added in the right places, it’s now strong enough to hold all that new lumber and a 195lb handyman…ask me how I know! 🤣💪🏻🤣
