Build vs. Buy: DIY Your Own Outdoor Kitchen Pavilion on a Budget!

This is how you build a timber frame gazebo without timbers for your fire pit patio. I used lumber from the hardware store to build this small gazebo or pavilion, whichever it is. Gazebo kits cost too much so I built mine from scratch and saved a ton of money. This gazebo is perfect for our upcoming outdoor kitchen and smoker project! Is this a timber frame or a post and beam? Let me know what you think.

Wooly Booger??? Like those tires I used to have my old trike? Yea she was a Big Red 200ES Rear AND FRONT Racks, High, Low, AND REVERSE Gears, PLUS NO CHAIN.... Yup.. she had a sweet DRIVE SHAFT!!! It was like a TANK!!! Except for when 15 year old me got my hands on tryin to fix it... Didn't know a dang thing about carburetors, fuel/air mixtures, spark gaps, OR compression... so pulling that spark plug in and out hundreds of times too it's toll while trying to get that sucker to start some days.... eventually the threads just gave up and shot the spark plug out and into the bottom of the gas tank..... :'( That was the last time I ever sat on her soft n comfy plastic foam seats while she was purring..... eventually sold her off to someone who knew what he was doing... he spiffied her up with new plastics, fixed up the bent racks from the flips we did together (unintentionally of course lol) and brought her back to her former glory..... he sold her to some Mexican kid that somehow set it on fire within 2 weeks and it was SCRAP :'( R.I.P. Big Bertha and your AMAZING Wooly Boogers that paddled me through many a HUGE puddle - - - Sorry about that.. you just managed to bring back memories I haven't thought about in about 25 years... Thank you :) .... And I got my eyes peeled for that dang wooly booger that's stalkin you... gonna turn 'em into a NEW set of tire if'n I catch 'em!! Use them big 'ol teeth for soem EXTRA GRIP!!! :D

They aren't 6x6 cedar lumber posts from a sawmill, which would certainly run you over $1500 today. He did use 6x6 posts but I heard him specify that the entire project were pressure treated 6x6 post for the cost savings, which are substantial for (close to) the same structural rigidity as well as aesthetically more pleasing than 4x4's, don't want no wimpy crap..

[@gamingwhileotherssleep4650]

19:29 for the back of the roof panels, old school wives tale, rural legend, call it what you want....use light blue/sky blue. It supposedly helps keep wasps from building nests because they don't see it as protected from the sky. My parents did this with their outdoor porches and over the last 5 years the number of nests built is noticeably less than when they were the original darker color. Maybe it works, maybe it is luck or confirmation bias, but when I build my porch extension for my home I'll be painting it light blue underneath.

we've built a shed for outdoor canning, etc. Timber frame, like yours, but with sides up here in the northeast. One side is my husband's. He was a mechanic, and it took a while to get all his tools and his toolbox here, Now he's putting his tools back in. Toolbox is 800 lbs empty. Anyway, the thing I most like about our shed that is different from our other farm buildings is that it has a floor. Rough cut hemlock. Under his toolbox is heavy thick plywood. Also, I like having an extra oven, especially since our stupid governor is making it harder to buy propane appliances. It's always good to have many ways to cook. And if you're a canner, to be able to keep the canning heat outside your house.

4:25 If you can carry it up a ladder, then you should have faced the ladder the other way and carried the timber over the shoulder. It is a faster more secure climb. The ladder parallel to the posts, and the timber sliding up those posts, makes it so if you lose control or get tired, the two posts will not let the timber fall towards the ladder. Once you get to the top the timber will let you know, it can be set down. The transition is a lot smoother. 6:20 Don't use the speed square to "drill straight". You can see in the video that it is NOT working. Use 2 pieces of wood. 2x4s will work. About a foot long each ( 6" will work). Make sure the ends are square(miter saw). Slap them together with the 4" (3.5") sides together and off-set them 1". Screw together. Drill the bit till the paddle goes past the surface or place a third 2x4 laying down on the 4 (3.5") side. Then place you 2x4s offset guild on top. By now you should be getting what is happening. The inside corner of the 2x4 offset guild makes two sides to place the drill shank on and keep the bit straight. You can make one end 90° and the other end 45°

[@leifhietala8074]

Correct color: POLAR WHITE. If you're hot out there under the sun, send that energy back up to outer space. The dark panel gets hot under the sun and then the back of the panel radiates the heat down on you. Sure there's shade, but the heat is still a THING. Bright white roofs don't get anywhere near as hot underneath.

[@leifhietala8074]

For future reference, use one of your angled cutoffs and clamp that to one of your uprights. That'll give you a ledge to rest your angle brace on while you're arranging straps, or maybe you can just get a couple of inches of lag screw in to hold things together so you don't drop it.
