[@ikkeaninono3860]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! This is the most helpful and simply understandable tutorial for building it.

[@sarahrussell6032]

Amazing, thank you for explaining everything so easily . X❤

[@toniawellington1514]

Love this idea ,I want to add to my summerhouse.

[@diydan1394]

Sounds good 😊

[@maxierush7414]

Great job. Nice, clean and simple

[@mosquitorepellent1276]

Thank you for the right to the point tutorial.

[@plumhunter9158]

what quantity of wood did you purchase? How many feet of 2x3 and 2x4. This will give me a better idea of how much wood I should buy. Great video!

[@diydan1394]

Hi this was done a while back now, i did use the untreated stud work timber which i then treated, then the canopy itself keeps it dry. If you add the measurements up on the video you should get an approx amount to buy x

[@reginamichaelensor4981]

Thank you, very easy to understand.

[@deanoh6414]

Some people put the braces on the gallows brackets at 90 degrees to how you have them so that the meat of the wood is under compression. Plus they are sometimes morticed. On yours the fixings could be hidden with plug cuts. Also seen the ends of the brackets made ornate, even just a chamfered edge. Good job nonetheless.

[@diydan1394]

Hi thanks for these tips and I hope that people read this and use your advice 😊 I like to think people customise my ideas and create their own versions. I have a DIY £1000 BATHROOM coming up plus more garden ideas 😊

[@leedeparis]

Helpful video. Very clear. Thanks. I’m Wondering how the rain gets off the edge, won’t the water run against the back of the trim board?

[@diydan1394]

Thanks, yeah it will run down the wood, maybe adjust this by adding bitumen to the top of the wood

[@ThatsVitalPodcast]

Yo u made this look so easy😂😂😂😂 this is such a great idea👍🏾👍🏾😃

Hi Dan I watched your loft conversion video and it inspired me todo the same it took me 6 months to do in my spare time , and it looks great ! I like the porch video but I would like to add posts so it looks more like a open porch any ideas?

[@diydan1394]

Amazing news thank you for sharing, if possible could you search DIYDAN FACEBOOK in Google, mine should be nr the top. Could you share some pictures of your loft conversion, you can send them straight to me or post on my group, if you don't mind sharing. With the porch I use some big 6"x6" posts but set them in the ground with mortor using metal supports. Then mount the porch on to these and the wall.

[@colinskehan]

thanks Dan Ive uploaded some photos of my loft conversion to my bungalow hope they may be of interest to you

[@ThinkBeFree99]

Hey that was great! But can you do a video or refer one showing how to safely add it to a house exterior with siding. How do we know drilling it in would hold it?

[@diydan1394]

Hi thank you for your message, I will try and get a video showing how to fasten it to your house. I used large fixing bolts that I drilled into the bricks of my house. You can purchase them here www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184347484470

Winner of a video, I've been looking for "how to build a gable truss roof" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Beybigail Nonpareil Breakthrough - (do a search on google ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to create better sheds and improve your woodworking without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my partner got amazing results with it.

[@matthewbedford1054]

Hi, what size wood did you use to do the brackets and the bottom of the apex across the brackets?

[@diydan1394]

Hi sorry... 2x4 timbers x

[@matthewbedford1054]

@@diydan1394 thank you for taking your time to reply

[@diydan1394]

No problem

[@steveemmanuel2608]

Hi Dan is it possible to get the measurements please

[@heatherkennery6980]

You remind me of art attack which is a great thing!

[@diydan1394]

I used to love that show x 😊

[@clock123united]

Can the cladding just be plyboard?

[@diydan1394]

Why not.. Hey use whatever wood you have, my channel is mostly about working with recycled materials and keeping to a budget. Sand it down and varnish the ply you should see some nice wood grain. It might not last 15years but you can always replace that cladding 😊

[@amyb8232]

Can you give me a list of materials I would need I don’t have any wood or anything lying around so would have to order it, thanks

[@bonjo5695]

Great video Thank you can you please share the measurement please thank you

[@diydan1394]

Hi sure, which measurement would you like to know? 😊

[@colescreations6680]

Awesome

[@BobutBrody]

Great fluppin' job here

[@carriemitchell2887]

Hi what are the lengths Of each piece of wood

[@diydan1394]

Hi, this design is so flexible. Depending on your door size you can make it as wide, long, high as you like to fit your door. If you want the slope on the apex not to be as steep work to 35deg angle. I hope this helps 😊
