DIY Backyard Makeover: Building a Concrete Patio with Pergola

[@19jc80]

It's also a good idea to go around your forms and tap them with a hammer while the cement is wet. It makes the cement flow down and fills in all the spaces.

[@garyg8036]

Should have shown how you secure the four posts of the pergola to your cement pavers unless it's just free standing which I wouldn't recommend.

[@Gigi-hq5rk]

agree because I have this exact question

[@BYOTools]

Great suggestion Gary and its freestanding for now. Would have bolted them down with some wedge anchors or tapcon screws but there was discussion of them slightly moving it one direction so I'll let them figure that one out first and then i can produce a YT Short for it if people are interested. Thanks so much for watching.

At the 9:30 mark, crack in concrete. Maybe rebar/ reinforcement not a bad idea?

[@rogerk1710]

Another great project Brent. I don’t usually go for the prefab units but this one is very nice looking and seems very easy for an intermediate DIY’re to do. You are always finding these innovative products. Very much like View Rail which I hope to be able to use soon. Thanks.

[@BYOTools]

Love hearing that Roger and i really did enjoy putting that pergola together. Very sturdy and so easy to install. Thanks for all the support along the way.

[@jasenrock]

shims will also be wedged stuck. put foam that can be ripped

[@BYOTools]

Great suggestion! Thanks so much for the suggestion and for watching. Truly appreciated.

[@FreakinWill]

I appreciate this post and the product. I think what's being highlighted here is showing you products and methods that could easily be done yourself solo. The man and his brother-in-law dragged so much concrete and rock on their own to this backyard, imagine a heavy all wood pergola by yourself or with maybe one other person. I'm also certain the pergola was bolted down later, have you seen his mailbox video 😂 that thing was going nowhere. Awesome job in true BYOT fashion.

[@BYOTools]

Thanks so much for all the kind words and support Will. Truly appreciated and helping others out there by making them feel they can do it themselves will always keep me motivated.

I would love the ideas of leaving the forms in between if possible? I think it’s beatiful and a good barrier again weeds between the blocks.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Looks awesome, nice work Brent 🙌

[@rumer7977]

I love watching your videos

[@BYOTools]

Thanks so much for all the support Umer. Truly Appreciated.

[@kgnola]

Looks great and so straight forward

[@王键-d8j]

That's great. You're great, and your knee pads are also great

[@zenydpina]

Imagine put some leds under the rocks 🤩

[@swetagovani8265]

Did you screw the base on all 4 sides to the concrete base? Do I need to? Or any reason to avoid it?

[@eduardochavacano]

All the gadget makes it so first world.

[@gen4957]

Which pergola is it? I did not see from the website, it gave me a general list. the only type of pergola I want is one without a roof because I have 3 grape vines that's going on top

[@vladimirdiaz8053]

nice work. would u recommend 5/8 minus rock or 1/4 minus rock as a base for applying artificial grass ?

[@mauricioprado6776]

Great job....

[@steveo5174]

I don't know how tall you are Brent, but that pergola doesn't look like you've got much clearance.

[@germandiaz1651]

What was the price for the concrete? And whats the size of the patio

[@thejoshthat]

I would have just waited for it to rot and took it out later LOL

[@lindaduclos9497]

YAY! Come to my house in Mill Creek and build one!

[@saulgoodman2018]

I would have bolted those to the ground. Those looks cheaper then build one from wood.

[@BYOTools]

Would have bolted them down with some wedge anchors or tapcon screws but there was discussion of them slightly moving it one direction so I'll let them figure that one out first and then i can produce a YT Short for it if people are interested. I'll probably build one in the future out of wood but for now these preassembled units are sooooo easy to install, which is nice sometimes haha. Thanks for watching Saul.

[@fchoxgamer2051]

The author does like to from scratch, kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

[@wayneguy6043]

I thought that thing was gonna snap in half

Think about how your mistakes may have caused others a lot of grief, and consider demonstrating something your familiar with next time.

[@ricgordon3716]

I agree the original video should be edited to provide an update (and preferably a link to this video) about the issue. But I appreciate him showing us live how he is going about things. What works and what didn't. If you are going to follow his instruction without see the full outcome that's on you.

[@anderbeau]

That is nice but I'd say the "cute sexy beast" is the guy building it 🥵

[@Derpherppington]

Spend half of the video prepping the ground then u brought in a pre made kit that’s one of the kind that’s not diy. It’s more like click this and have your credit card ready type of video
