    Any gotchas or tips? I have a plan to eventually build one at the end of my patio, but haven’t decided where to start.

      Well, I originally wanted to buy 6m rhombus slats, so I wouldn’t have a gap between them on the longer side. Sadly the company I wanted to buy them from no longer had any and no one else sold this length so I had to use 4m instead.

      I underestimated how much these slats like to twist and should have used 4 posts on the longer side to keep them straight.
