Building A Unique Garden Gazebo With Spire!

[@rastynash]

Hi Robin. Been a fan for a very long time now - back in the old skill builder days was where i first saw your stuff. Anyway, I'm a big admirer of your work, your attention to detail and your imagination and creativity too. I'm sure this project will be well worth watching. Cheers for sharing and for taking the time to film what you do.

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you for sticking around and following my work!!!

[@yazidamir]

This sounds like it’s going to be SPECTACULAR 👍

[@paulzirker706]

Looking forward to it Robin. I love your videos as an educational tool for me as an inexperienced carpenter.

[@ukconstruction]

Cheers Paul, I am sure you are great!!!

[@1951timbo]

Robin you are a true master carpenter 👍

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you Tim!! I love my craft and feel blessed to be able to do it!

[@RichieRich845]

👍 Looking forward to the build!

[@ukconstruction]

You and me both!

[@GrahamG-rm4jx]

Great idea, looking forward to seeing it progressing Robin.

[@moomastico]

Robin if you haven't already the tour through Salisbury Cathedrals roof and up into the internals of the spire is incredible. Well worth a visit for anyone but especially if you're a carpenter it's pretty incredible. I installed a fixed access line right to the top of the spire up inside and the woodwork holding the internals together is bonkers. It looks a bit more like it it's grown into place rather than been cut together.

[@ukconstruction]

That tour sounds amazing, I'm going to go!!

[@SJWardBuilders]

Love your sketches! Reminds me of something my dad and I built many years ago for a client of his. He often worked on church roofs doing repairs and fortunately I had the pleasure of helping him!

[@ukconstruction]

Good memories Sam!!

[@jonnygunner65]

I remember his last words to you…..”leave that bloody ladder alone”….I’m ‘ere all week..

[@davidpatterson1574]

Looking for to seeing seeing this project emerge Robin-

[@charlesforde3592]

Can’t wait to see you build this

[@Hundredthldiot]

I used cedar shingles about 3 years ago. The process was a lot of fun and the results were fantastic, would totally recommend. Much more durable than I'd expected, so far.

[@ukconstruction]

Yes John Cedar shingles are beautiful!! and as you mention, fun to work with and also durable!

[@SteveStevieboy]

Brilliant Robin! Can’t wait to see how to do all different angles involved,will be very interesting 👍👍

[@skipflorey2511]

It’ll be a great structure and addition to your “estate”.

[@Aodyxiuss]

Thats a great ending to a video.

[@jim99ful]

Wish I was good at sketching like you then I would not have to spend days drawing stuff up on cad! looking forward to the build vids, can't beat 'Working from home' ! 🔨🪚

[@chocol8milkman750]

Really looking forward to this. Everything from the ground-screw installation to the spire.

[@chrisgardner2597]

Been hoping to see something like this (an extended series) from you again. Can’t wait

[@antonyroe1596]

great to see you back with a new project Robin. Can't wait to see what you come up with. You look as though you have lost weight, hope you are all okay my online 'friend'.

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Antony, I have been keeping fit and trying to eat well!! probably why I look like I have lost weight!! glad your looking forward to the footage!!

[@antonyroe1596]

@@ukconstruction Well done you. Wish I could do so well myself. Catch up soon with your new videos. Glad to do so as I have watched all the others. Thanks for taking time out to reassure me all is good with you 👍

[@wrightwoodwork]

Exciting stuff . Its always good doing your own projects where you sint restrained by time and the next job . I actually went and bought some yellow pine and dark red merraanti to make myself a chest of drawers. A small project where i can focus more on quality than cost and when it is finished.

[@ukconstruction]

Nice!! Send a picture once it's done!!

[@wrightwoodwork]

@@ukconstruction will do

[@jazz185]

Looking forward to this.

[@johnnyknap]

This will be amazing.. the churches in your area are very different to those we have in Northumberland. Have visited the church in Shere which is lovely. Always liked the lynch gate roofs at then entrances too Where they rested the coffins if raining I understand. Wish I had some of your energy!

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Johnny, thanks for the message, did you see Shere church in the video?? I never know that about the Lynch Gates and the coffins!!

[@johnnyknap]

@@ukconstruction Hi Robin, Thanks, I will have to watch it again to spot Shere Church! I once visited a church where during the Black Death there were so many funerals the Lynch gate had a space for 2 coffins at a time to keep up with demand! Looking forward to your build, cheers

[@paulcloona9331]

I'm so looking forward to this Robin. Im actually going to build one similar in my garden this summer. I have looked also at different roofs . Haven't decided yet. I'll be getting plenty of ideas of your build 👌🇮🇪

[@martp197]

This will be great.

[@JamesBrown-yn7xr]

Surely with your skill you could go nuts, I see the school of stereotomy feature online a lot look amazing. I see yours will be in keeping with regional design which would be good. Also for a day out I recommend the weald and down museum, which have a lot of traditional properties from your area. A lot of carpentry skill and historical information about building in your area, and a famous oak barn. Shall look forward to seeing what you do.

[@ukconstruction]

HI James, thanks for the comment I am yet to visit the Weald and Down museum, yet its not too far from me!! must try to go while I am building this gazebo!!

[@GreentopLandscapes]

Massively interested in this project Robin I have something going on in my garden at the moment, but I feel my one neighbor could be a problem.

[@ukconstruction]

Hi John, glad your interested in the Gazebo Build!!! hope your well mate its cool that we are both on the Fix Radio team together now!!! I am blessed with the neighbours I have and it goes a long way!!! look out for the next episode later today!!

[@GreentopLandscapes]

Thank you sir

[@zeuszuki6698]

Looking forward to this series. Perfect timing as I am considering building my first ever pagola with a bit of flare but ive never done a pitched roof as a dyi er. I think ive got the general idea on calculating the rafters, we'll see 😅 Fantastic channel, love your work 🍻

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you!!

[@jeracom]

Brilliant looking forward to this one. Ps your house and gardens are amazing looking.

[@ukconstruction]

Thanks so much!

[@samposton9101]

Will be a great project Robin!

[@andyc972]

Sounds great Robin, I hope you go with the Shingles, they'll be perfect in the semi-woodland setting and soften the whole appearance ! I will be watching with interest as I'm planning a structure for my front garden and it'll have to have a roof as otherwise it'll just be a poop perch for the local pigeons - not great for the front path !

[@billrimmer5596]

Looking forward to it!!

[@Stewart_Bell]

Nice Robin. I look forward to the series. You'll make a spectacular job of it as always. As for the roof covering, cedar gets my vote. However it's great to see you looking around at local precedents and taking inspiration from there and maybe that will lead you down a different path. On that, maybe the dual pitch is the golden nugget rather than the pitch itself. Great all round considerations of situation, planning, design and carpentry all coming together though. Top job.

[@ukconstruction]

I reckon it will be cedar!!

[@DIYLONDON]

Can’t wait for this one rob! It’ll be very interesting, your sketch was on point ! Even that was amazing!! 😂

[@tomasmorrissey7324]

Nice video as always robin , quick question for you have you ever done flush eaves on a house ,if so have you or could you doa video on the details of doing it I be seen a few different ways of finishing of where the gutter goes just wondering what U think is the best personaly I rather eaves for weather protection

[@jonfenwick6200]

Looking forward to this. Sounds amazing. A really good idea too , to take inspiration from the local chirch spires. Bravo. This is the good stuff. Love all your series's, really enjoy watching and learning from these pal. Can't wait for the day I own my own place and can do this kind of stuff for myself.

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you Jon!!!

[@ramhomes9074]

Cedar shingles would look nice

[@AirsickHydra]

Yo my man. You got me into carpentry and I'm currently selling high end pavilions / gazebos over at Chessington Garden centre. Ours guys have been making them for 20 years now, perhaps a few ideas to share :D

[@ukconstruction]

One of my local garden centres!!

@@ukconstruction Drop in sometime bud, coffee is on me. We have three hipped roof models on site with a Cedar shingle roof.

Can’t wait for this one. Have you got a few episodes already filmed or is this real time?

No this is going to be posted as I do it!!

[@craigwilliams6734]

Hi Robin, I always enjoy your posts…attention to detail is fantastic! Do you still see Roger from Skill Builder?

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Craig, I have not seen Roger for a while, I must do a video with him!!! Miss those days!

Fantastic! I love church architecture. I should have done stonemasonry rather than be a carpenter 😂

[@ThePhilGrimm]

It sounds like it should be oak but that would last a lot longer than 15 years.

[@garyhollywell2112]

Looking forward to it Robin very much. Is Ed still working with you?

[@ukconstruction]

Yes Ed is, but at the moment he is working at his family home in Devon
