What type of wood is that?

reminded me of "the strarry night " by Van Gogh

seems silly to jam the bbq into that space.

otherwise, very nice though. Are those slimline cabinets on the left, or just shutters?

nice

can we have plans to build

This pergola is a kit but I don't remember the manufacturer. I believe it is a type of chinese cedar that is stained. I do believe that it is made oversees. I have not seen them around for a while which may be due to the poor structural quality.

this looks similar to one on Target web site. Take a look.

is the roof open or closed to prevent rain

Romantic

this is really wonderful love it.

What kind of lights did you use

The stringing lights are just normal Christmas tree/patio lights that you can get at any hardware store. If you want a more permanent and robust light, there are several outdoor lighting systems available at http://www.cjshearthandhome.com/fence-wall-structure-lights/

Looks amazing to me, as it would too to a swarm of moths,mosquitoes,etc. happening to be flying by. What do you recommend for pest control that would kill this otherwise romantic evening? Thanks.

The Sonoma Fireplace featured in this photo is a gas burning outdoor fireplace. If mosquitoes are a concern to you, we would recommend installing an outdoor wood burning fireplace instead of the Sonoma gas fireplace. This is because smoke from the wood burning is a natural bug repellent. Here is the link to the Sonoma outdoor gas fireplace as well as a wood burning outdoor fireplace that would work for this pergola kit.
