HOW TO BUILD A LUXURY PERGOLA FOR UNDER £700

[@heidicarsboult8515]

Brilliant as usual. I’ve just watched this cried my eyes out all the way through. My partner wanted to build one of these for us but sadly I lost him to cancer last summer. His friend said he’d make it for me and I won’t say publicly what I have. It ain’t like your one. No beautiful joints, or square. It cost me a fortune too. Your one is amazing. Even though I’m a tad sad, you guys make me smile. I’m so pleased you show everyone how it’s done. AND with banter too x

Looks awesome. I'm a Carpenter here in Australia. I love watching building shows. Especially how different trades do work in different countries 😊

[@dougieranger]

I watch Scott Brown Carpentry and I’m in Scotland. 🤝🏼

[@arronmcknight]

a carpenter could do this on the ground and make it mm perfect with a tad more detail. not taking anything away from these boys of course, still a good job no doubt.

[@Limosical]

Nice pergola. When I have lots of little patterns like that, I find it easier to do one pass with the router on one side, use a jigsaw to roughly cut it to the pattern leaving about 3mm and then flip it over and use a flush cut bit to finish the rough cut part to match the first pass, saves doing a lot of router passes and leaves a nice finish. You can also batch it, so one pass with the router on all, jigsaw on all, flush cut on all

[@homeimprovements]

Nice mate we actually did the same on last 4/5 but no video on it 🙈

Another great job chaps! is there a difference between a joist and a rafter?

[@r6mdogg167]

Guys a question for ya,what size beams/rafters you used on this pergola? And do you think postcrete is strong enough to hold the whole pergola in place? Thank you m,great job im looking to do pergola as well just finished patio,i like your style that you did there

For the dowel, a 21mm hole with a Forstner bit was mentioned, All I can find is 22 or 22.2 7/8 dowel Were you hammering a 22 into a 21 hole for fit?

[@homeimprovements]

May have been a 22mm 🤔

[@stephenfoster5449]

Nice work lads. However, with the dowels, should they be draw and off set by 2 mil?

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks 😊

This is great thanks lads, learnt a lot and was entertained Ive got to ask, whats with all the different colours and shapes of screens in this persons garden though?! Do they own shares in the company

5 Day as we was filming the whole process. However if you wasn’t filming 2-3 days is definitely possible 😊

Hey guys could you do a video installing laminate in an older house on wooden floorboards? Or can you recommend the best underlay to take out any unevenness in the sub floor

[@sprintervanconversions]

Great video guys, lovely work as usual but where did the £700 come from? I just priced up a similar pergola and the timber alone was £450 :D

[@homeimprovements]

That was just materials mate 😊👌🏼

[@sprintervanconversions]

@@homeimprovements ah gotcha! Makes sense, cheers! :)

[@alpachino468]

I wish a list of materials was provided...

[@davidgray2488]

Great guys What are the dimensios of the pergola?

[@homeimprovements]

3x4.8m mate 😊👌🏼

[@woody1380]

I realise it may just not be on the video but it doesn't look like you treated any of the cut ends, tenons, lap joints, mortices with wood preserver. Barrattine Cut End Preserver would be perfect for that. Pressure treatment only goes a few mm into the wood so if you cut the end, notch out etc you expose untreated wood. There's no glue in those joints so water will track in and the tenons will rot off if not treated.

[@jackbourner7965]

How long did it take from start to finish?

[@homeimprovements]

5 days we was filming so probably 3 days without 😊

What size is the pergola.????

4.8 x 3 I believe it was 😊

Looks great but all that massive timber would cost more then £700 these day surely!

That’s what it cost with postcrete as well

How much for pergola to build please,

how much would be a fair quote if you were getting someone else to do this for you

You should have treated all the cuts you made.

[@stephenfoster5449]

Guys, just noticed your thumbnail after watching the vid. Are you for real, 7 hundred brick for entire materials? I normally use PGR, but your supplier blows them out of the water.

MGN is Very affordable give them a try 😊

@21:56 Why do so many people disregard their own health and not wear dust mask. Don't ruin your personal health for a professional job. Great video though guys but FFS look after yourselves.

How much did you pay for materials???
