Stick a fork in it

The arbor is done, bring on the Kiwi vines.

(Well, except for staining a couple of the top bars, but thats not my dept.) If there is anyone keen on geometry out there you might get a kick out of this.
the footprint is 34x55 and the elevation is 89x55
the horizontal bars occur at
3", 5", 8" 13", 21", 34", and 55" the top is 89" being the next interval. The upright dowels are 13 and 21" from either side post.
Exhibit A in the case my wife makes that I tend to unnecessarily complicate things.

3 cheers for Fibonacci and phi! I had a friend that for awhile was only buying groceries in prime quantities. My husband laughs at me for figuring out algorithms to remember all the bank account numbers. :) (btw his birthday is the square root of mine, so I'll never forget that either.) I appreciate your overcomplicated arbor!

It's very pretty. My husband often dreams and speaks in prime numbers. I cover my ears and say nanananananananananananna until he stops... but... your arbor, it's quite lovely.
