Sounds like a pergola.

As a child, my parents thought I was an idiot-savant.
Now, however, it is rather clear that I'm simply an idiot.

Have you ever seen decent folk when they get riled?

The others are morons.

Have you thought about suggesting the do their shed in the same siding
they do their house? It might delay things but it would sure look
nice.
Maybe they'd let you paint the shed in the meantime, but how they know
if you do good work or not? How do they know if you will treat their
house as well as your own. I wouldn't let you do it.

Why haven't you met them? I would at least introduce myself, try to read
how they are and present my idea. If they turn out to be morons then you
can decide if you want to fire the first rocket.

Really bad advice. I am easy to get along with and if a neighbor just
decided to do something without even asking I would be quite annoyed.

But you don't know about these neighbors because you have never talked
to them.

OK, when I moved here a year ago, there is a three inch gap from the end
of the fence to the shed. The wife was working there, and I was on the
other side of the fence.
I yelled out, "Hello new neighbor", and we introduced ourselves. We had
a very brief conversation, as it is hard to converse through the crack
of a fence.
We talked about her being surprised that the owners sold the home as it
is quite new.
Anyway, I really don't call that meeting my neighbors, but I have
decided to start walking down their block, in hopes of meeting them.
At that point, I will not discuss the condition of the shed.
I am not in a hurry to do this anyway. Just thought I would ask.
I know some of the neighbors on their block, and they are complaining
about the fact their driveway was torn up, over a year ago, and redone.
But, the sad part is that the old broken up concrete is still on their
yard, in the grass.
