Each slat had an identical mirror image pair, so I positioned them opposite each other on each side. I also put the curvier slats further outward with the concave side facing out. It adds to the fan look.

Must say this felt very fruitful. Now it is back to the easy stuff again of drilling, sawing and screwing. I want to add a rafters for the vines and fill in the sides so that the Virginia creeper and wild grape have more to climb on. I chose these two plants since they are indigenous to the area and grow easily and quick and both become a showy red in the fall.

I figure another day or work and it should be done.

BTW, the seat is very comfortable.
