I shared the newly rebuilt pergola (HERE if you missed it) yesterday
and several of you asked about the sheer panels
I used for the drapes and how I put them up.
So here’s more information~
The panels are tulle that I found at IKEA-
2 panels for $4.99
unbelievable price!!
Love it!
They are extra long- and can be cut to length- they are not hemmed on the bottom
but they work well for outdoors as they are.
I purchased 10′ long metal conduit poles at the hardware store-
about $3.00 each
and the $.25 metal clips to hold them on.
I only had to purchase 2 new poles- three of the old ones were usable and the 4th pole
that had bent all crazy, I was able to use two sections of by cutting it.
You will need a hacksaw to cut the poles to the length you need
and an joint piece or extra clip if you need longer than 10 ft lengths and need to join two pieces.
(Just one more screw and it will be done…gotta love the tag!)
They work really well, because they are galvanized and don’t rust easily.
Just attached them to the pergola frame and put the curtains on them just like a curtain rod.
Voila!
Instant romantic pergola!
🙂

Hi Courtney, Your rebuilt pergola is looking so cozy, the panels are a perfect touch. What a great deal you found at IKEA, you couldn't even buy fabric and sew them at that price. Great job.
I SO love your pergola and what you've done to it! I did not know about those panels at IKEA — that is a STEAL! I may have to go get some to use for decorating at my son's wedding . . . glad I live close to one! Thanks for the great info!
Your pergola is lovely, Courtney! The sheers are the perfect touch…and what a bargain! Happy weekend…hugs…Debbie
Courtney your pergola looks beautiful and I love the look the panels add to it. Thanks for hosting, Martina

What a great idea for the sheers! They look wonderful.
I'm so glad you were able to get the repairs done so quickly! Love the panels…what a great deal, you can't beat IKEA'S products.
XO,

Your pergola is beautiful! I am sure you want to be outside all the time. 🙂
Visiting over from the At the Picket Fence link party. The drapes you put up in the pergola are so elegant….I love it! I'd just sit there all day and read! 🙂
Thanks for sharing some highlights, Courtney! They look FAB! And thanks for hosting!
Courtney it is so pretty. I want a pergola soooo bad.
Very crafty with the curtains there Miss Courtney. I want a pergola like that! I'm going to try and do a post about something other than photography next week so I can link up 🙂
Hugs ♥ Tricia

ps. thanks for hosting the linky!
The pergola looks great…what a job to reconstruct it though! And, to move it …can't wait to see what you do with the old spot it stood in. Your draperies are wonderful; the really soften the whole look. Hugs-Diana
Hi Courtney….I have those same IKEA curtains from Ikea in mine and my daughter's room. Not only are they the cheapest things in the world, but I also love them to death!!
Have a great weekend…
Lisa
I just read about 25 of these posts on your party link up. Great party!!! Found some great blogs too.
love the curtain treatments…i've been pondering doing the same thing with our arbor since the panels are so cheap at ikea…perhaps this summer i will get around to it!
alison
Hey Friday friend! Thanks for linking up your lovely pergola to Inspiration Friday this week!
I have had it on my mind as I dream about summer and imagine sitting out there with a mojito or glass of wine in hand. So sick of being cold! 🙂
Vanessa
What a lovely touch to your patio!
Courtney, I am so happy your pergola is rebuilt. Your patio looks like a romantic dream! I am trying to get caught-up on some blogs while I have internet service. It has been so sketchy since Wednesday!
I will try to link-up with this party next week. My husband is making me something for my birthday, so I can write a post about it and join-in on the fun. 😀
Thanks for hosting, and I am going to try to visit some of the blogs participating in this week's party.
(((hugs))),

We can't believe the price on the curtains – wow! We just had friends that finished a pergola last year….we'll suggest these panels to them…then, we may pick some up to put along our porches 🙂 Thanks for the great idea!!
Karla & Karrie
Thanks so much for featuring us! We really appreciate it!
Awesome project! I love what you did with the curtains- and I'm excited that you found them at IKEA and at such a great price! I've been to our local IKEA a handful of times, but I get so overwhelmed in there I miss the little things. I really need to make a note to poke through their fabric/drapery department next time I'm over there.
