I Build a Modern Timber Frame Gazebo | My DIY Masterpiece

I transform an empty space in my yard into a massive timber frame pavilion/gazebo. I filmed a start-to-finish timelapse and you will see what it will become! I built this alone, with basic construction knowledge. If I can do it. You can do it. Subscribe and join our world of DIY projects!

This video is a testament to unconventional craftsmanship, where creativity and determination bring a neglected yard space to life. From the labor-intensive process of digging holes and meticulously crafting wood joinery with mortise and tenon joints to the awe-inspiring raising of the timber frame structure, installation of rafters, roof lats, 12v lighting system, polycarbonate roofing, gutters, and the painstaking work of excavating, leveling, and creating a stunning paver patio. Every step, including sanding and staining the wood, was infused with passion and dedication. The end result is a breathtaking gazebo that elicits a resounding 'WOW' from everyone who steps inside.

[@VG-13855]

Possible to share the polycarbonate sheet details you have used ?

[@mateostabio]

@@VG-13855 I don’t have any but plan on making a video about the polycarbonate in the next 3 months.

[@channingrhodes6756]

I'm giving you massive props! The fact you went old school (which is twice as hard)! Looks great! I wish I had the energy to do that in my backyard! You went all out and showed hella skills my friend!

[@mateostabio]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LockedenLoad]

Forget the build. Look at your boys helping you. That's truly priceless.

[@mateostabio]

Truly is! Hard workers they are!

[@abbasphoto-video]

I can just imagine the last scene when you finally sat down and enjoyed your amazing build, thinking 'at last'. Well done

[@mateostabio]

Indeed 😂 Thanks for watching

[@madman432000]

Now that was an interesting use of the bench planer. 😉😉

[@mateostabio]

Thanks! Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

[@user-pg7vr1hq5c]

I feel proud of people that can archive such a great skill..

[@maikoo25]

Maaan! This is one of the best builds ive seen. The attention to detail, the quality, everything. Well done!

[@mateostabio]

Thank you very much! Really happy you noticed my attention to detail!

[@user-ul6ci8hw6n]

Я с рейсмуса офигел. Первый раз такое вижу как можно с ним работать. Классно 👍.

[@marianosaab2560]

Man that feeling of sitting under the gazebo with the family after all that hard work is priceless. Congrats!

[@mateostabio]

Yes it really is priceless!

[@artfdiyprojects7204]

amazing job coming from a contractor 😀😀😀

[@anunpopularstance]

Beautiful project! I am impressed to see someone utilizing old school joining techniques as opposed to simply relying on bolts and fasteners alone... but seriously wear safety glasses...

[@mateostabio]

Thank you very much!

[@xstevenx8132]

+1 for safety glasses. I almost lost sight in my right eye from not wearing them.

[@erikriley3925]

That was awesome! Even better to have your family help! Good job!!!

[@1saleem]

And then the HOA comes and hands you a notice 😂😂 just kidding! Looks amazing brother! Inspired me for sure!

[@user-lj1oi3tq2p]

I like the way you allowed your child to join you in building this... learning process

[@vicb.5034]

Came here to watch the gazebo build, ended up watching the whole project for nearly an hour. A good job done properly. UK here.

[@mateostabio]

Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Dutch58]

Same intensions here. Massiv build the old school way. Great! 👍I hope you did get a back massage evey day😃. Germany here

[@vicb.5034]

@@Dutch58 I'm actually doing mine at the moment 😆. 6x6 oak posts but only 2.m meters. I have 6 of them to cut, chisel out, level, post shoes etc... all on my own. my whole is aching!

[@paddle41773]

SO satisfying to see those pavers go down

[@mevestiller]

Those pavers are huge! It all looks so great!!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Nicely done!

[@mateostabio]

Wow thanks! Mr. Jeff commenting on my video! I watched a few of your videos for the gutters haha.

[@pilotoqurdi]

Re-wacthing your video! You are a BEAST!!!

[@shevketselimshayev9031]

Hats off to you. Well done!

[@Me-hf4ii]

I love that you used hand tool for the tenon and mortise joints. That styles of joining has proven to last over a millennia. Very cool. And hard to find video examples.

[@mateostabio]

Thank you! Yes I also struggled finding something similar and hopefully my video helps others with timber frame joinery. Theres also no other way to cut them without hand tools unless you spend thousands on crazy expensive timber framer tools. I also bought a book and wanted to learn how to do timber frame joinery

[@kennyg572]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW I have neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr seen anyone work as hard as youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!! It made my back hurt just watching you work----Real NICE job

Necessity truly is the mother of invention!! I watched with pure amazement as you angled the planer over that long beam!! And, your little assistants did a good job too!!😂

[@SuperGamli]

Loved the whole watch! Good job!

[@randyanderson5653]

Loved this project. This is very similar to what I want to do with our patio. Thanks for posting. I'm gonna save this one for referance when were ready. Love that you got the kids involved. Dad points!!!

[@mateostabio]

Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it. I’m hoping to get more videos explaining each part of the build in separate videos. Stay tuned for more! Cheers 🍻

Got your email about wrapping the posts, what is your concern? The bottom? Why I didn’t wrap the bottom bottom?

[@pilotoqurdi]

I forgot about this until today! @tabio, precisesly! Why you didn't wrap the bottom bottom? Looking into my spam email your reply!!!

Being able to have the knowledge and skill to build projects like this is priceless. Especially when it's to improve your own house. Great job!!!

[@mateostabio]

Well said!

[@mikemetheny1086]

20 minutes in and I was like "This guy knows what he's doing. A but brutish, but quite effective nonetheless." And then, he broke out the RYOBI planer and I was like "What an idiot!" But when he let the planer move itself down the timber, once again, I was impressed. Well done, Sir! I wish KZbin would let me post the Leonardo DiCaprio GIF of him raising his glass!

[@mateostabio]

Thanks for the comment and all the mixed feelings 🤣. Cheers!

Awesome build. I love that you got your sons involved. My father did the same for me when I was his age, I love DIY and hard work and just accomplishing things and getting it done. Good job!

[@mateostabio]

Thanks for watching and for the comment

[@Juanpimentel-diy]

Well done!

[@MarkOhanesian]

I built a basic pergola for our yard recently and was stunned by the amount of work you put into this! Not only the pergola itself but all the concrete leveling around the pool and pavers, it's a staggering amount of work. My pergola build was maybe 1/2 the size and didn't require even 25% of the stuff you did, and I am still putting finishing touches on it. Extremely well done!

[@mateostabio]

Thank you for the nice comment. Glad you enjoyed it! Lots more cool projects coming soon!

[@EddiTaru]

Freaking gorgeous. Love it. It looks perfect.

Thanks for the comment. It’s all about patience

Wow. Really nice. All the details you put into it were impressive. I got a bit nervous when you lifted the first couple of rafters. And I can see you can jump… especially when lightening strikes! Congrats !

Yes I like it for my back yard 😊

Smart thinking, using the tools the way you did, excellent! I like the way you hid the wiring and how you did the pot lights, actually everything you did, there was no cutting corners that I could see, excellent work!

Thank you for the nice comment! I really appreciate it!

[@JRSchwantz]

Unreal how talented you are. Wicked job mate. A masterpiece

[@mateostabio]

Thank you!

[@lorigonzalez1196]

This is such an impressive achievement. Thanks for demonstrating that with skill and ingenuity you can build something amazing without every (and the most expensive) power tools in the store. So much old school there, like when I was kid helping my dad build. I haven’t read the comments, but I’m sure there are a fair number taking you to task for no safety glasses and for your lack of ladder safety, but what I noticed more was the way your kids helped their dad. Thanks for sharing this video. BTW, I found you first on the video about raising the pool deck and paving the yard. Kudos on all if it - I’m sending these to my son with a note to get busy.

[@mateostabio]

Amazing comment. Really appreciate that. Really glad you enjoyed it. My kids also really enjoy helping their dad! Thanks for sharing the video!
