How to build a lean on timber canopy DIY

How to build a timber canopy DIY Size 5.5mx4m.

[@Tinyteacher1111]

Awesome! This is exactly what I want to do over my hot tub area. I pulled down the privacy fence because there is already one around the entire yard, and I left the cemented poles in. Now, I’d like a covered pergola with light and the ability to have shade too. Thank you!!!

[@wildfalco]

Thank you. this is the one I have done for my hot tub. kzbin.info/www/bejne/paKwimmepKp5bqc

Awesome work! Will you be doing more videos like this soon?

Very nice 👍 job

Hi mate question is how do you fix edge end of veranda just with L brackets and screws looks like! Thanks

[@Alidadadar]

at 4.12 I can see a bit of soft membrane hanging off... what did you use? was it just the stuff for keeping the doors insulated? My assumption thats to prevent it being noisy?

[@wildfalco]

Yes, I have put plastic, when it is raining it doesnt make too much noise.

[@MrBaguioboy1973]

The F section and rubber you put on the 6x2 bolted to the wall, are these automatically included on the polycarbonate purchase? Or do I need to buy them separately? What do you call it, the rubber thingi?

[@wildfalco]

You need buy separately. Just search `F Section PVC` they are about £6-£9 per 2.1m.

Hi thanks for the inspiration - have you made a video? Also did you concrete the posts in the ground? Have you got any pictures since you made this? has it lasted?

[@wildfalco]

Hi Izhar, no video sorry. I didnt concrete the posts. It is still standing and fine.

[@SF-fx6qf]

Hi, thanks for the video. Would this structure support roof tiles ontop?

[@wildfalco]

If you add more rafters (Approx every 60cm gap) it would carry anything.

[@oreokookie1000]

Nice work...how did you situate the bolts in brick wall?? Did you anchor them, or use an epoxy for glue?? I need to build me one of these for a neighbor...john in connecticut

[@wildfalco]

Hi, I have used 10 pc of Steel Concrete Bolt M12, length 135mm, no glue needed.

[@oreokookie1000]

thanks..to me thats the hardest part....Always looking for tips, I appreciate it!

That is a great guide and it looks great. Did you manage to to guttering on?

[@wildfalco]

Yes forgot to put the photos, they are all done.

Hi! I’m looking to build similar canopy. Where did u do your shopping from? Possible measurement please?

[@wildfalco]

Hi i bought all the materials from Selco. Measurements are on the video. Thanks.

[@LegalCamper]

Hello there. Forgive my lack of knowledge in this area. Your joist hangers seems to be at a 90° angle. How do you get the beams to slant downwards ?

[@wildfalco]

Good point. When you place the beams there will be a gap between hanger and the beam because of the angle difference (About 10 degrees) Dont worry about this gap it is not so much. Screws holding the beam and the hanger tight. It will carry the weight, Not a big problem.

[@newry123]

nice one

[@karolinabargiel5732]

Hi, where did you buy the materials?

[@wildfalco]

Karolina Bargiel, from Selco. Prices are very good.

[@hassellvinny]

Great video and very informative, looks like a cracking job, thanks for posting it! Am looking to build something similar and I had a few questions...it says you used 2 F sections, it looks like these went against the wall of the house and you sealed them to the house with silicone. I was a bit confused here as I thought that F sections were for the sides of the sheets. If you put them on the ends, would the bottom lip of the F section not push the panels up from the wall plate so they don't sit flush? Did you cut them off or something? Also, if you used the F sections against the house, do the panels still need sealing/finishing at the sides? Final question :), how did you secure the panels down to the rafters...or are the glazing bars enough to secure them? Thanks!

[@wildfalco]

Yes I understand your concern about F sections. They do not flush to the wall there is gap about 10mm. I filled with silicon. You can use same trim to the sides too. Panels dont need to be sealed. F sections hold them properly. You need to nail the panels at the top if you dont panels can slide down with the weight of the snow etc. Make sure that you cover the nail heads with silicon. Just two nails are enough to hold the panel. I hope it helps. Take it easy.

[@zaidmalik3273]

The 10 degrees angle could you just provide me a step to step how did you do this .....

[@africansilverback2722]

roughly how much does it cost for all the materials?

[@wildfalco]

Hi I have spent £630.00 for all.

[@pawelr2381]

Do you need planning permission for this?

[@leew8812]

no

[@ramkumarkob8781]

nice

[@mckeon1960]

How did you attract upright support post into ground or on top of thanks

[@wildfalco]

Bolt down post supports have been secured with bolts on the concerete. Also I put some more concerete on the supports too. Make sure that you cover the post ends with a plastic bag to protect from water.

[@mckeon1960]

@@wildfalco did you treat the base for wood rot

[@wildfalco]

@@mckeon1960 no I didn't, the post was already treated.

looks good. did you need planning permission?

[@wildfalco]

Hi, no you dont need one.

[@shelmstedt]

That depends where you live. I would need a permit in California

[@musicislife1759]

Is it noisy when its rainy?

[@wildfalco]

No not much. If you can afford put glass. No noice at all.

[@bigcsfamily7277]

Does it leak at the house wall?

[@wildfalco]

No never

About £750.

[@bashirabdullazade6474]

@@wildfalco thanks very helpful video, im building one with similar measurements 6.2m x 4m and getting materials from wickes, selco requires trade account. the only point im confused that i have stack vent pipe in the middle of the wall and will i have to use 4 posts instead of 2?

[@wildfalco]

@@bashirabdullazade6474 yes 4 posts would be better if you have a vent pipe.

[@bashirabdullazade6474]

@@wildfalco did you put f covers on all 4 sides of the roof? how did you put f section cover on timber which is screwed to the house wall, is longer tail of the plastic between timber plate and wall?

[@wildfalco]

@@bashirabdullazade6474 f section is used just on the timber by the wall, not 4 sides. You can place f section after you fix the wood on the wall. Due to 10 degrees angle you will have enough space to fit f section on the wood. You will fill the gap with white silicon at the end and it will be waterproof.

[@petrisorserdaru2595]

Do you need building regulations approval?

[@wildfalco]

No. But just in case check your local council.

[@Captain_Eddy]

The music ruined this video 😔

[@wildfalco]

it was free on the internet, could have found a better one, you are right.
