FINALLY INSTALLING A ROOF ON OUR DIY ATTACHED MODERN PERGOLA | HOW TO INSTALL METAL ROOF

[@chandracox6814]

This looks so good! We just bought a house and are wanting to do a covered wrap-around just like this (except around the whole house). Our new house is out in the country so our outside area is just as important as the inside to us. We're on a little over an acre and surrounded by farms and cows and horses. We close on the house next week!! Our first home purchase!! In TX.

[@TheHandyCreators]

That sounds AMAZING! Congrats on your new home ♥️♥️ we are so truly happy for you! Wow! That’s the dream for us, I would love to live on a farm with animals. One day! Oh that wrap-around porch will look perfect. We hope our channel helps with inspiration. It will turn out beautiful , I see it already!

Great job! Looks beautiful!! I was wondering about the roof and the heat also! So glad it's ok.... my aunt lived in Florida for over 40 years, anytime we would visit.. and I still think this.... how does anybody live in Florida! LOL It's SOOOOO hot! I live in Ohio, it does get humid and muggy in the summer, but nothing like Florida! I hope someday my husband and I will become snowbirds and come to Florida over winter, when it's bearable to be there. ;O)

[@TheHandyCreators]

😂😂😂 yes, Florida is an oven which never turns off! Oh we have laughed so much with your comment. The heat here is unbearable. We usually take a few weeks after winter to adapt to being outside in the summer. It was 91 today, hot and very very humid! Little by little we are drying over here 😂😂

If you need extra light over your cooking/cleaning area, you can swap out the bulbs on the string lights that are over that area with LED bulbs that are that same fitting

[@TheHandyCreators]

Wow ! Thank you so much for this idea, we hadn’t thought about it. We definitely do need more light in that area. Thanks for the advice !!

[@jaws8817]

I put standing seam on my pergola too, it was less expensive than the clear plastic panels. BUT, I put sheets of coroplast under them to give a small thermal break. Insulation sheets are ugly and will weather over time but the plastic will hold up. And there’s very little feeling of heat radiating down.

[@TheHandyCreators]

Thank you so much for the recommendation. Luckily, we have not experienced any heat due to the height of it, but we will definitely keep that in consideration of it does occur!

Do you wish that you placed the gas burner in different location to allow more counter space, or built more counter space?

[@TheHandyCreators]

Honestly, no. We didn’t want a big kitchen outside. We actually spent countless hours discussing how to make it even smaller lol. We love the location of the burner because we use it a lot if we fry stuff or messier meals. It’s convenient and accessible. It works for us !🙂

It is really nice, Ideally how much it cost to do this? as I am building a house, but my builder doesn't do it. so want to know ideally what factors decides it, how much it can cost me?

[@TheHandyCreators]

Thank you so much! So for the materials ONLY to extend the floor, add tile, build the pergola, adding the metal roof, and the kitchen in the background, it was approximately 5,000 for everything, if we can remember correctly. But the pricing of the materials can vary as we did this years ago

[@prokedd5513]

That’s is beautiful! You guys did an awesome job. About how much did you guys spend for material total? Wifey and I were thinking about hiring someone but will come out cheaper doing it ourselves.

[@TheHandyCreators]

Thank you so much!! The total project came out to around $3,500-$4,000. We definitely did save a couple of thousand dollars doing it ourselves. We have to always recommend doing it on your own. Lol! We did a bit each weekend at our own pace, looking for the best deals for this project to come out as affordable as possible.

Disregard my question, you answered it in the video. I asked it while the video was playing....

lol honestly, no it does not! It was a concern of ours when doing the build but we can honestly say that it is does not because of how tall it is!

[@gottathinkupanewone]

I love your metal roof and also your rain chain! You may find that having the roof over the pergola helps keep the whole back of your house cooler, because it keeps most of the sun off that back wall. We finally gave up on trying to have a porch with a pergola at the back of our house, and just built a sun room, but it helps keep the rooms on the other side of the wall cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. I hope you love your new addition as much as we love ours!

Thank you sooo much! We do truly love how it came out . 😍 it took a few months to think of what the perfect roof for us would be but we are super happy with the option we went with. That is soooo true, now the house stays cooler ! It’s honestly been a great addition to the house .

Thanks!!!

[@edgarperez678]

Sorry, I love DIY folks but you guys did not do the correct research before starting. You can’t be disappointed if you jump into something without knowing consequences. It looks very neat but I know you struggled in order to avoid demo-ing, you improvised. But you followed through. Amen for that! Great ending, from a fellow DIY l.

[@TheHandyCreators]

No matter how much research a person does, there is still room for error. The goal of a DIYer is to figure it out. Of course we did not demo the area because we had some hiccups, why would we destroy an area and thousands of dollars when there are other solutions? Yes, we figured it out, because that’s what we do. Not only did we do our research, we ordered various options and reached out to the vendor. We would always recommend to any of our viewers to “figure it out/improvise” if something does not come out as they planned or expected. We get through the obstacles, not let them defeat us. Thanks for your feedback and we wish you great success on your projects!

[@KevSmu1]

What was the cost of the project?

[@TheHandyCreators]

Just installing the metal pergola was about 1,200. Building the pergola cost us about another 1,000

[@alfredxavier5880]

I never really cared for pergolas cause it doesn’t provide much cover for the elements and the stuff they have to cover isn’t very well made materials unless it’s a roof. I prefer a gazebo but as far as the back patio design of this I think the metal roof panels are best. I never was a fan of metal roofs but it’s grown on me and never say never. Metal roofing lasts much longer and when it’s time to get new roofing at least you can scrap the metal unlike roofing shingles.

[@TheHandyCreators]

Good thing there are many options of roofing out there for every persons needs. We thought the shades were the best fit for us, but not since we have the metal roof we couldn’t imagine it any other way. Our does not get hot whatsoever. Maybe it has to do with the height of it also. We are truly happy with the overeat look and feel for this area.
