Patio Cover

Sabra1974
11 years ago

Hello aHello,

I just built a patio cover in my back yard. It is made of wood, in a sunny part of the yard, and the top is currently 2x2s spaced out 4 inches apart. My goal is to get a climbing plant to grow ALL OVER this patio cover and I am wondering what plans you might recommend. I would prefer something with a pleasant smell, that does not attract bees, insects, etc.

Can you help??
