Installed a maker pipe structure on the deck of the ADU I'm renting -- finished it off with IKEA's Dyning canopy, which required some hacking with grommets. The maker pipe was the only solution I could find that was structurally sound, great looking and easy to take apart and store winter. Couldn't believe how easy it was to assemble, and what a great space (perfect for social distancing) it creates.

Looks great. Is that regular emt pipe that you painted black? If so, how has the paint held up?

Thomas A Speight - I covered the pipes with Maker Pipe's UV shrink wrap, which I applied with a heat gun. The shrink wrap has been fantastic --
weather summer heat, wildfire smoke, 35 mph winds, snow, sleet and lots of NW rain. I built two additional 4' x 3' bamboo/cedar screens that hang on the front (not pictured) for additional privacy. Julia

I just realized we are practically neighbors. I am also in SW, up on the hill near Council Crest. . . I guess its the Healy Heights neighborhood. Your build definitely helped inspire mine. Thanks for posting!
