The word Height has a ht not a th like pronounced at 6:00 mins. It is so often mis-pronounced by vloggers that maybe this is a generational issue...I have to point it out.

[@BYOTools]

Thanks so much for the kind words and support. I love building and helping others learn how to build through my videos. KZbin has been an amazing learning tool for myself and I'm honored to be able to do my part and give back to the community.

[@BYOTools]

@@jr.6199 Full context for you. Many content creators have some form of learning disability. I have dyslexia, which means my entire life when I read "height" I see "Heigth" and starting pronouncing it as such. I know how it should be pronounced and have tried to switch it but old habits die hard haha. But to bring it full circle my dyslexia is the reason why I fell in love with KZbin. All of a sudden I found a way to learn how to do something without having to read about it in a text book. Made me realize that I truly enjoy learning, but visually learning. Hope that helps provide some clarity on the strange way I pronounce "height". Thanks so much for watching and all the support no matter what.

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

@@BYOTools Well said. Pronounce the words any way you want, as long as I understand what you are trying to tell me, we be gud

​@@BYOTools For context, we hear words, long before we read them. We talk by age two but don't read till years later, like at 6. Most dyslexics won't be diagnosed till school in first grade as a result, during reading/writing exercises. Don't use "dyslexia" on speaking challenges, as that is not directly related. I know from my own experience with it. All of the world's living organisms abilities, are expressed on a spectrum, and you are no different. This reminds me of a comedian making fun of speaking poorly, he made up an advertisement, and repeated it to the audience; "Learn Ebonics, axe me how!

Impressive with that much flat roof I personally would have laid it out as a rainwater recovery system by sloping one of the down sloped corners slightly lower and placed channel boards to direct all the run off into a rain recovery system with a large cistern.

[@SpicySteve-tz2so]

Snow and water are going right at the entrance of that shed...not good.

[@ffdtower1]

Good for you

[@GoodwillCriminalsOfDallas]

While plywood does cover a large area fast you run the risk of it delaminating later on. I always use t&g car decking cedar boards. It looks amazing from below and is thicker than plywood. Cedar of course does not rot for a much longer period. I don't know if that is treated plywood you used but it does not look great from below. I would recommend a good marine-grade paint/primer for the underside.

[@ayellowbeard]

This lean-to is exactly one of my dream projects for our property (also in the greater Seattle area). In my case I plan on attaching it, to what was the old garage now a mudroom with sauna and bathroom, using the SkyLyft roof riser system and having the entrance at the low end of the carport which is the same angle of the roof of the mudroom. I'm pretty comfortable doing a number of projects but for this one I plan to hire pros for the heavy lifting of footers and main structural frame and then do the rest myself. But it's a dream and one of several projects I'd love to happen before I die and of course it all boils down to funds.

[@robertlarsonwoodford]

I totally appreciate the extra time and effort you deployed to film and voiceover this project. Thank you! Also a question-do you think this project could be broken down into smaller projects and done over time? I desperately need a carport to protect some vehicles from the honeydew that comes off a nearby tree and i was thinking about setting some beefy posts as you did here, but then stretching sun sail or shade cloth between them to get quick protection. Then down the road I could frame a roof and install a more long term roofing material.

[@danielpullum1907]

It looks like a very nice project. A friend built a similar free standing shelter house but had not installed all of the angle bracing when disaster struck. There were four able but not smart fellers up on the 24 X 36 roof. It swayed and crashed. One broken leg, two broken arms and mud on everybodies face!!!!!! LOL I loved the Doug Fir boards. Our house was built in 1956 and every framing board is Doug Fir. Which at that time wasn't unusual, now the cost and availability would be significant.

I have found your channel and subbed recently and i am loving it. With your explanations, i feel very confident and inspirited to build. I am remodeling an old 1900s home that's been converted into a duplex. I am learning everything on KZbin and trial and error. I went from fixing cars and semi's to fixing houses. Chip and Johanna, and DIY channels like yours inspire me to try something new and save money at the same time.

Truly love to hear that and the kind words Anthony. I basically started my KZbin channel in the same way.

I also have a pneumatic nailer for those specific hanger nails. If you are doing a deck, look at how many hangers, brackets, etc you are going to be needing. Many brackets require 10 nails. I determined I was going to be needing at least 2000 nails for the deck, but also had 50 hurricane straps for the house rafters. So that’s another 500 nails. The nailer was $250 and it was the Best money I have ever spent. Anyone who has hand nailed a couple hundred of these nails, your thumbs will thank you. Love that nailer.

[@That_Northern_Nomad]

Great timing... looking to build a similar style pergola (24x15) and your video addresses the build details. Even better if part 2 will show a tongue and groove plank install for the ceiling and an asphalt shingle roof!

Why was there no birds mouth on each rafter? Im stalling on whether i should have them. I only have 5 degree pitch on my lean to pergola

[@justSHAPPY]

In Europe we use the tube former above ground for the "round finish", and we pour the concrete in the dug hole to key itself into the earth crevices and making it like an anchor and that helps with strong wind trying to pull the roof and the whole building out of the ground. If you are to perform a pull test you'll know what i mean

[@gregpendrey6711]

BYOT there is always a need for a carport like this in Seattle and this is super big and convenient. FLW was the originator of the concept. It will keep the cars cool and frost free. Oh yeah and fir needles will be reduced. Parties, projects, garage sales and my ski boat. Hate monitoring the tarp on the boat so it's not caving. It also screens the utility pole across the street. Oops I mean shreet, or is street the right way? Kidding haha.

Never heard of those u-carts, that is awesome. A very nice middle ground between renting a mixer and a full truck! On RR Buildings they showed off a little auto-mixer with a shoot, that was nifty as well. Just hook up the hose and pour in the mix.

[@michaelpayne8102]

I suggest using the sonotube as intended, to raise the posts well above grade and keeping the anchors out of the ‘wet’.

[@jeffscott3160]

He used a 1 inch standoff plate with the post bracket. Common practice when the client doesn't want to see the concrete. I simply wouldn't have used a sonotube in this application, waste of money. A hole in the ground is more than adequate. The bracket will survive being wet long after you and I are gone, it's the wood you gotta keep dry.

[@michaelpayne8102]

@@jeffscott3160 Part of contracting is to steer clients away from bad choices, with the installation being at the bottom of an incline (has the potential to see ground water run off) you shouldn’t have the brackets or the wood anywhere near the water, I’d put them at least a foot above grade, additionally I’d set the bracket above the sonotube then backfill with grout at a nice taper and seal. As to brackets surviving wet, that might be the case in your area, I see 1/4” galvanized plate deteriorate in a mater of years on grade right along with the wood, the wood holds the moisture and the brackets rust away, the same thing happens with a galvalume roof if you allow leaves to sit on it. If you build to last your clients will be happy, if you do what the client wants they will blame you in the end.

[@jeffscott3160]

@@michaelpayne8102 Agreed, but given from what is shown in the video they don't have a drainage issue there and from the looks of it he is building in a wet part of the Pacific Northwest which water drainage is a priority in just about everything you build. I live in eastern Washington state and we don't have such issues here. It surprises most people who aren't familiar with southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon that it is desert here. Looks a lot like the desert southwest. It all comes down to the area you live in that dictates how you build. What one may see as the "wrong way" doesn't mean it's wrong. Just a different approach to the area they happen to be building in. You'll never see any structure a "foot above grade" here. It simply is not necessary. I've had galvanized saddles with one inch standoff plates on the posts that support my deck cover fore over 25 years now. They still look like the day I put em in.

[@rickerwill2]

@@jeffscott3160, I am in the Nevada high desert, and I agree completely. With only about 7" of precipitation in a year, drainage and water rot is not much of an issue in the Reno/Sparks area. I would have bought my posts 2' longer and set them like fence posts right into the concrete. The precision of length is less critical, because one can set them "tall" and cut them off to the proper height after cure. Why not do it just like a fence if water is no problem? Am I overlooking something else in code or convention?

[@fdort3971]

@BYOTools congrats on your channel exceeding your goal!

[@MatthewFordVictoria]

I like your comment at 24:05, and here's my method... Before putting plywood on top, attach a piece of Paper Tape to the outer edge, marking where each stud begins. Have it stick out a few inches so when the plywood is put in place, flush with the edge, you can safely create that line by knowing where it should start.

[@russellhowell9854]

Great professional job. I agree with you on the plywood. OSB in my book is not a good product. Due to it's effect with moisture. I think OSB is just a cheaper and substandard product to use. That's my opinion and experience in carpentry work.

[@tsjuno]

I have to say that the sonatube is not supposed to be inserted into the hole completely. It’s only used to hold concrete outside the hole. Think about it. If you fill the hole up with concrete there is no gaps but if you slip a tube down the hole it leaves space in the hole

[@bondpit8750]

That is correct. Also, the footings next to the house were placed in disturbed back fill soil from the dig of the original foundation.

[@feeblewrk5788]

It’s basically a large pergola… relax. It’s not going anywhere

[@Dustball460]

In areas that deal with frost lines, sono tubes are placed down to below the frost line to give the footings a smooth surface that will minimize the amount of surface area for frozen soil to grab onto and heave the footings up.

[@dalelevin7975]

I think opinions will differ on this

[@dalelevin7975]

And he's mentioned a structural engineer has approved the drawings so at this point......?

[@jameskongtum]

Just funny that as soon I saw you working in the rain I was thinking of Pacific NW. sure enough I saw phone number on the digger 425. Awesome build

[@paultrigger3798]

24:30 Plywood YES! I'm so sick of OSB, so many diy on youtube use it and of course 95% of new construction. I know that OSB is engineered to be the same, different swell properties etc.. The amount of crappy rotted-out OSB i've ripped out I honestly don't care what they say, the marginal price increase for plywood is worth it if you care about it lasting longer. Particularly the edges of cut plywood are vastly superior in humid or damp environments. Several custom-home builders I know refuse to use OSB as well. Also in the PNW. 16:30 this part is awesome. All that time into being precise pays off! Very quality work

[@nelseshaver2679]

I agree! OSB and Ethanol gas, no more!

[@bigk4755]

As a carpenter of very substantial size I always insist on plywood for the roof decking that I will be walking on as I hate the spongy give of OSB midspan (between rafters). Every time someone will try and challenge me over this, “OSB is engineered for horizontal applications”, blah blah blah. And I will tell them that when it is their license and they are the one walking on the roof deck they can use OSB if they want, but this is my license and my very large azz walking on this roof, so my choice. It is also a fact that plywood has superior pull out resistance for roofing nails is a nice added bonus.

[@seanfrank4158]

I used to work in an OSB mill and I agree with you completely. Plywood for the win!!

[@thomastaylor2450]

When I was kid in the Pacific NW all houses were built with K-board sheeting, it was a frail compressed fiber board that you could break with your bare hands, thank god for OSB when it replaced that junk!

[@garyt3hsna1l82]

man it would be cool to frame the top section in and make it into a sun room or studio, even just a rug and some deck chairs would be great you could use it as a small jam space/ smoke spot, or put a rain barrier down and plant a prarie lawn up there; so many possibilities because its built so well.

[@docJamesE1318]

Really good work my Man love the meticulous care of construction.

[@danhunik7949]

When installing the aluminum clips on the edge of the plywood give the side that goes on the nailed down plywood a bit of a squeeze. This makes the gap smaller and will then fit tightly over your sheet and not move when you instal the next sheet.

[@psidvicious]

It opens up the receiving side just a little as well, which usually helps.

[@BGWenterprises]

We use 1x under the roofing. We mill up low grade logs, the big mills would pay lunch money for. and they make perfectly fine roof sheeting. . We also have a local lumber treatment plant. And we have had a few custom orders take there lumber there for treatment. Oddly enough it comes out green, makes me really ponder if your really getting treated fir or hemlock, as treated lumber is super common to be hemlock in the NW.

[@rodger2499]

Really impressive build. One comment: If you cut a section of a sonotube maybe 6" long, you could have placed it over the stakes prior to running your string line. Then adjust the sonotube ring section so that it's dead centered to the stake before spraying the striping paint. Small detail, just my engineering OCD kicking in.

[@seejanedrill]

[@norussian556]

[@jimmieusaf-pol5818]

If I were the client, I'd be thoroughly happy with this build and the attention to detail you all demonstrated in ever aspect of this build. I thought the narration and the video showed all the key parts of the build, and could easily enough be used as a DIY, but I'm thinking probably on a smaller scale unless someone does this kind of build a whole lot more than the average Jim. I saw some negative comments, as I read through the comments, which it seems like there will always be, but I personally didn't see anything negative in the build that look at all concerning to me. Thank you for sharing, I subscribed and plan to check out other videos and see if there is any ideas/builds, that I can use and complete around my property.🙂

For plywood I like to use T1-11 siding for a nicer look and then 1/2" OSB with the foil on one side for adequate rigidity and for a cooler space on sunny days.

[@6mileoutdoors]

Quite possibly the best "how to" video I've watched ever.

[@rogerk1710]

Looking good Brent. As always. I like OSB over plywood because it’s more consistent and you don’t get hollow points like plywood has sometimes. Usually where you drive a nail. But plywood may look better on the underside where you’re painting it. BTW it would awesome if you stained those glue lams. I’ve always love how they look in their natural state. Thanks!

[@BYOTools]

Great to hear and thanks so much for the input on the OSB. That is a very good point in regards to hollow point. I ran into a few of those and had to drive in more screws due to it. Thanks for the continued support Roger.

[@drumswest5035]

Hollow points?...plywood is far superior to OSB for shear value, you must be buying crappy plywood if it has holes in it. OSB is crap if exposed to constant moisture.

[@follow-yeshua]

There is NO situation where o s b out performs plywood .

[@billkenworthey5258]

Confused. Worked with plywood for 53 years. Never heard of hollow points (unless you mean ammo?)

[@rogerk1710]

Engineered “plywood” is superior to wood plywood. It’s allowed and favorable in struct 1 sheer walls from 3/8” to 5/8” on the west coast. It’s does way better in the rain than plywood. Plywood lifts and separates when exposed to more than 1 rain. I’ve been doing this work for 40 years so I do know OSB is better

[@codyhuber]

I really like the design! Was it ever discussed why the flat’ish roof choice? Esthetic? Local code? Permits? Neighbors? I do see electric utilities might be in the way with other roof designs

[@fdort3971]

@BYOTools thanks for the lesson. Definitely going to watch it again to comprehend. (Trying to learn). The metal clips...do they go on all 4 sides of the plywood (obviously not on the outside edge). Why do I need a gap anyway? I thought the whole point of plywood was because it doesn't shift like natural wood. (Again, trying to learn) Mentally kicking myself...I was literally given a huge box of them for free with other stuff. I traded them for deck screws instead of buying the screws because I didn't know what they were for. Why are the knee braces different angles and lengths, because of the elevation? If the ground was all level, would the knee braces be equal?

[@Anonymous99997]

I’ve seen a few folks using ZIP system for sheathing. It looks like a great product.

[@drumswest5035]

I would have also used construction adhesive on the roof joists too. Make sure the ends of the glulams are sealed even if they are rated as exterior grade.

I miss doing that kind of work. I was a part of many car ports, fences, and decks on the coast side between SLO and SF. Not to mention all the houses we framed. I was watching this and living vicariously through you. Haha I'm about to demo out my backyard cover and make a nice big beefy one. Question. Do you think a 6x10 is good enough for a 16' span using 2x6 rafters? 2' centers. Only 2 6x6 posts on the ends. The actual span between posts will be 14'. I'm still not sure if I'm going to copy the existing and ledger off the house. I want to go to the facia and make it taller. The way I'd have to tie into the flat roof is going to be a pain. 😢😊

Great work on this carport, it looks awesome! New Sub!

Great Video. I think I would have extended the roof and raised it slightly to sit over the roof and entrance of the shed so that all of the rainwater and snow do not end up at the entrance of that shed. It will happen, and it will be an issue that wont go away.

Whoa, the math on those knee brace lengths and angles makes my head hurt. I'd be making a template stick out of a 2x4 or something, just scribing it, cutting it, and using it as a cut guide. That's an incredible feat to build that structure in a week! I was up in the PNW a few weeks ago, in the midst of 90 degree weather and 80% humidity, helping my Dad build some much needed things, and it was miserable weather to work in with no AC to retreat to!

If it makes you feel any better I did just scribe the first one, but since I did all the math I figured I'd give you the exact dimentions so you didn't have to do all the leg work yourselves haha. Thanks so much for watching and us true PNW'ers don't believe in AC....... LOL JK!
