A few atypical examples finish this ideabook. Here is a pergola adjacent to a pool, where wood slats comprise the sun shade over the structure. Note how the wood members criss-cross in the bottom-right corner, giving a kinked shape to the roof.
In the same way, the trellised cedar slats of this poolside pergola add visual interest to the trusses; it almost looks like the trusses were painted with taupe horizontal stripes.
