    Built this yesterday. Just wondering where to go from here. I suppose less is more. I'm thinking of a few hanging baskets maybe. Any advice or suggestions welcome. :)

    Looks great! That shady bank at the back would be lovely with some hostas and Japanese maples and ferns, some potted ones inside would look good too.

    Wisteria!

    I don't even like it particularly, but when it grows in it'd be fairly spectacular over the top of that.

    Or clematis.

    Something to grow over the top, anyway.

    Was thinking of planting something to crawl up the 4 poles and cover the roof in time

    Personally, I think leaving the block work bare will look cold and take away from whatever else you do.. You should think about a facing or something else to cover it..
