is it CHEAPER to buy a PERGOLA or to BUILD one DIY style?

In this video, I’m going to breakdown the cost associated with buying a pergola from Mirador verse building one DIY style. I factor in the cost of wood, materials, and labor both ways. #diy #woodworking #furniture #pergola #outdoors

You have taken this thing to a whole other level with the deck AND pergola. Love this -- Thanks for sharing!! 💚

[@BigWillie1388]

I totally agree about HOA, had some issues as well. We ended up moving and four years later we found house without one. One thing that could change it is to run for the board.

[@fathogwoodworking]

Gardens looking great with that pergola up. Hope you have a great summer.

[@DesignsbyDonnie]

Thank you so much!!!

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Just got here from ur facebook page after watching ur deck build... i subscribed and clicked the notifications really fast lol... love your work Donnie, really impressed by ur story telling with your builds... your videos are really entertaining, i am learning so much from u... its like im listening to an audio book 😂😂... thank you for sharing all your builds!

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful pergola, Donnie! Fantastic choice!!! And fantastic work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@DesignsbyDonnie]

Thank you.

[@spdstix]

This is exactly the video i was looking for, was either thinking of building my own pergola or purchasing one. Thank you for answering this for me and i would love a link to this pergola. Thank you

[@markharris5885]

Exactly what I’ve been looking for!

[@KPsquared]

So Im a VP of a HOA. But first, that pergola/deck situation is 🔥 and now I want to do it. Back to the HOA part, yes to all of that. Everyone of us that are on our board are younger, diverse, and it's our community's first board. The president and I are big on nuance. Some of the rules made 0 sense to us, and since I oversee the ARC committee, we allow things that we know a more "traditional" board probably wouldn't. Like you said, boards help keep things from looking bad, which keeps prop values up and can even limit neighbor issues, but I think boards often overstep. People should be able to enjoy the homes and properties they work hard for. I should start a HOA page lol

[@homeloveeverything2932]

Yes please send a link. Great job! It’s beautiful and functional.

[@DaKidCharming]

This is fantastic would love the link as well. Looking into something similar

[@ronneel8277]

Great video.. how did you anchor the paragola to the deck, does it need a deck pole for support under the deck for paragola legs

[@florida4runner668]

I'm definitely interested in getting one. I thought of crafting my own sliding fabric roof but this seems a lot more durable time effective

[@ttph4835]

Pergola looks great. I just poured our new patio and this would be perfect. Would appreciate the link. Thanks much!

[@ericturner2477]

I personally would rather have a neighbor with a house painted with pink polka dots than be restricted by an HOA. I'll never buy a house that is bound by an HOA.

[@itsmaryyang]

Thank you for the informative video. I'm interested in the pergola.

[@canescup12]

Problem is you asked them first. It's like them telling me I can't cut a tree down in my front yard. Well guess what the tree got cut down. Most HOA's aren't going to take you to court over staining a fence. Most don't even have the money to do so. They're usually people with power trips that enjoying saying no or fighting over everything. Like the old saying, it's easier to ask for forgiveness then it is for permission.

[@DesignsbyDonnie]

Yeah you’re probably right. I wish I would have just done it but now I’m on the radar for asking. My bad completely.

[@edwindelumen5574]

They won’t take you to court but they fine me by replacing all my windows by myself with out asking for their permission…

[@andresruiz62]

1000000%

[@DevinsJackson]

I would like to have one.

[@mhow7024]

Doesn't sound like you have been around for long. MOST HOAs will give you a big fat fine of 500 dollar for each day you have done something that contravenes their rules. So in the three cutting case, they would have you put another, mature tree in that place, and fine you 500 dollar for each day that you take to do so.

[@cweber1193]

Pergola looks amazing. I would love the link to it as well. Thank you!

[@andrewwhite8433]

Nice work! I really appreciate your transparency on your videos. I will take a discount code also.

Dope pergola!!! I was looking for this exact thing a few years ago and only came across the electric versions. Definitely want that discount link!

[@ancollis31]

Is that pergola heavy, because I get a lot of wind. There is a empty lot next to me and the wind is strong

[@TheShambone]

Hello! How are the posts secured to the deck? Only to the deck boards or do you have a footer below? thanks!

[@jnllopez8]

Love how it came out!

[@fouraces1371]

Link please! Liking your videos a lot. Helped me decide what to do with our space next to the patio.

[@DesignsbyDonnie]

Thank you and here it is bit.ly/DonnieGalli

[@udd123123]

Do you take pergola down during winter timeframe ( when it snows ) or keep it year around ? Any thoughts ?

[@DesignsbyDonnie]

you can leave the pergola up year round it’s made of material that doesn’t rust and built to withstand all weather elements. Now I haven’t had it long enough to put it to the test but that’s what the literature states.

[@gflopez1127]

This came right on time... Ive been looking at pergola ideas!! Discount link please!!

[@andreamudro5699]

Looks great! Love this pergola! Can I get the link for the discount? Thanks so much!

[@tracytaylor5192]

I just don't understand why staining would be said no too. It helps protect the fence from rain and sun. 😅 May I please have the link.

[@ElAcheErre]

Sweet!! 🔥

[@DesignsbyDonnie]

Thank you. It was a fun project for sure.

[@elpaisa1]

Can you send me the link. Im going to build an outdoor kitchen and this pergola is perfect for that

[@RowAnd____]

My parents DIY'd a pergola with cast iron pipes, sails, and a pulley system last year, didn't last long before the wind broke it though. I'd love a link to send their way!

[@shawnagbatah8336]

Does Mirador have a proper roof meant to keep out water? This one seems like it’s made for shade.

[@hwwyang]

Great job. Could I get a discount code? We just built an ADU in the backyard. This is exactly what we are looking for to put up. Thanks for sharing. 🙏

[@chrisholland8226]

[@gianelpibe]

It looks so good but is costly, I'll like a link to the screen part😅, I have a back porch I would like to enclose it and this seems like a great idea

[@Chicitypo]

Link please! Looks fantastic and I wouldn’t be able to live in an HOA. I like my freedom to do what I want to the house.

[@ChodaStanks]

Just built my own by myself 2 weeks ago, 14x18 traditional and wood. Cheaper to build, way cheaper. Spent $1300 and used great quality materials. Made of wood, can take it down quick or replace the lumber pretty easy if needed. Comparable’s are over $6000

[@DJLsbVapes]

Yes please, I want that for sure, where’s the discount? Thanks

[@NickB-Philly-UI-Guy]

Wow! That came out amazing! Can you please send me a link?

[@ThickCutBacon]

Looks great! How did you secure the pergola to your deck?

[@realcarbonking]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXyyd5-id9ukrdU the plate screws into the pergola and then 4 big bolts go into the deck/wood underneath?

[@Alesmtnez]

Hi! I love that pergola! Could you share the link where you buy it? Thank you!

[@marlene5494]

This is exactly what I need. Please share the link. Thanks.

[@jobusrum505]

I ran for my HOA board for this exact reason. A couple comments 1. Changing CCRs is next to impossible. In my state, you need a "yes" vote from 67% of the homeowners to change a rule. We did a massive push last year to try and change some of the rules, and we only got around 40% of the entire neighborhood to even vote, let alone vote yes. 2. Some rule enforcement (like the inside of your fence) are 100% stupid. But if you could see the things people try and get away with, and are fined for, you would understand having a limit. Plus, there are laws about "selective enforcement", so if one house is enforced and another isn't for the same violation, there could be lawsuits. So just keeping it as a blanket policy is the easiest and fairest ways of doing things. That all said, next time I buy a house, it will be at a point of time where I can move far enough away I wont need to be in an HOA.

[@lisam6811]

Love the look! Link, please 😊

[@joel1002000]
