Mona Lam Are the corbels on both sides of the main post or just in front?

Sandy Koepke in this case, just on one side...you look out the kitchen window, through the pergola and toward the pool beyond so it sort of frames the view. each site is different. no rules. do what works best for your space. if you look on my website under portfolio...then beverly hills peck...you will see the clients sitting inside the pergola which gives you another perspective of the corbels.
