Thanks so much for a very cool project. I'm going to try it.

What’s the link

[@apr2110]

I like this idea but 1 foot isn't deep enough, please consider getting 12 foot posts and putting them a bit deeper in case you get a bad storm. Also, use lumber that's pressure treated to avoid rotting. Really cute results, though!

[@ketorenmendoza7366]

Depends on their frost line

[@2163mrjeff]

​@@ketorenmendoza7366i mean, shes right tho. It has nothing to do with frost. An 8ft beam with a leverage point at 1ft would generate 500lb at the base if you were to bump into it with only 69lb. So pretty much if you lean on that thing it's coming out of the ground.

[@jessicah135]

Love it! And thanks for the detailed breakdown including why the posts in planters didn't work ❤

[@donyemonroe4577]

Nice

[@missyjackson6731]

Beautiful!

[@kyles5258]

Looks great! The only thing long-term I would worry about is the post in the planter is going to rot, probably right at the bottom, so keep an eye on that

[@Odo-so8pj]

Could be remedied with a coating.

[@pearlperlitavenegas2023]

Soak them in motir oil used or new fir a week will never rot

[@mystupidfacebook]

If they are pressured treated then it should be an issue... I think there's plastic sleeves moisture barriers

[@dixiecup6668]

How did you attach the canopy to the house?

[@derrecktarr2099]

Only a foot deep can be dangerous hope you're not an area with high winds

[@EberMoreno-u8z]

Obviously since they attached it to the existing concrete, they’d be fine. Besides it’s only holding up a sail lol. It’s not like it has real weight pulling on it. They’ll be fine

[@RylanStorm]

You realise that sails move boats?

[@jetfocus1152]

@@EberMoreno-u8zyou have never seen the power of a wind storm apparently. Those posts are gone in 60 seconds of one. They should be in a minimum of 3 ft.

[@debbriggs5811]

Should mention the canopy. That is a very important part.

[@TheElegantpleasure]

Great idea! I had paid $8000 plus for a deck to be built and the top wound up dry rotting due to an error of the contractor. Anyhow, this is a wonderful idea for what I have left, which isn't much. Thanks for posting.

[@jamiefairlie4837]

your posts wont last with them not being treated while having dirt and plants around them also you need to dig at least 2 feet deep for your post to go into a foot is not enough its nice but its not good

[@Christina_Marie81]

We had the same issue with our sunshade acting as a sail! We had 120+ lbs of cement in both pots and the other sides attached to the house. The wind maybe 20-25 mph knocked those pots over like there was no cement in them. We just took the sail down as our ground sucks for digging. Onto the next plan. 😂

[@lauriepayseur5897]

Omg how perfect! And I love the ingenuity of still using the pots!

[@mikeb8342]

An open flame (firepit) a few feet from the house? Under your (most likely) flammable canopy? Probably a bad idea.

[@michaelsnider2484]

Keep a fire extinguisher on your patio at all times since you are having open fires under the canopy, which might not be the best idea.......Also, without drainage holes in the canopy, it will fill with rain and since the Poles are only down 1 foot the whole thing may collapse.

[@kwpp7]

​@@lulujones2279How is it being a downer to point out flaws which may cause the whole thing to collapse? Wouldn't you want to know those things before starting a project?

[@levanahyll5884]

​@@michaelsnider2484 how deep would you recommend? Thinking of doing this.

[@michaelsnider2484]

@@levanahyll5884 For a tarp to hang on, at least 2 feet deep. If you have wooden cross pieces on top, three feet deep with concrete. Don't forget drainage holes of some kind in the top so it doesn't fill with water. Hope this helps!

[@kwpp7]

I love how we actually have shade in our backyard now... proceeds to show patio in full sun, lol.

[@parkerdiaz6213]

It was probably evening sun= not as harsh

[@algonquin7187]

shade for 1/4 couch

[@CharlotteStockton]

The dirt in the planters will rot the posts. Particularly, since there is moisture in there that is needed for the plants. If any part of the wood post is touching sod (bottom of post) it will also rot. Since you won't be able to see the rot these posts could easily fall in a storm. There didn't appear to be any flashing on the bottom of the posts, nor did it appear that the posts had cement piers on them. What were you thinking? This could be very unsafe, particularly around young children. Heavy snow or rain could collapse from the weight bearing onto the canopy. I can't believe you thought this was a good idea to post, since people may knowingly copy you.

[@mybootscamewithoutstraps]

"I love how we actually have shade now" she says while the only part receiving shade was actually the table. "I put some plants around the post that holds all this up" to speed up rotting the rood and destabilizing the concrete mix...

[@kenziemac]

hi so the sun moves. this was taken early in the morning when the sun was still rising, because i wanted to get some good lighting so you could see the patio set up. this puts off shade for most of the day, if you wanted shade for alllll hours of the day, you would need to be in a box & have all sides covered - that’s what your house is for 😊

[@mrtv777]

Putz 🙄

[@jennifertaylor2593]

Little plants destabilize concrete? Really? I work quality control with cement and that is a bold faced lie. And news flash, the earth rotates, man..of course shade moves too. She didn’t build a sunroom, she built a shady place on her back deck.

[@willesco898]

Unfortunately, your planter idea will Rot your post

[@icelandic_mughal2223]

Yep, perfect when the the Sun is directly above. 👎🏽

[@Claire-rm7uz]

Looks delightful ❤

[@LordOfThePancakes]

The look on your face when you realize the planter pots won’t work and the post keeps falling over is priceless 😂😂 You’re like 😵‍💫🥴🤯 Derrrrrrp Lmaoooo

[@ddouglass2134]

Please let me what you used to make your shade patio Looks great

Iove the planter idea and the plants around the post

[@alainafleming5729]

[@donnacaldwell1904]

Love this idea. I wanted to cover my deck but due to a bay window and a chimney being in the way I was unable to. Please send me your directions and shopping list. Also how did you attached the shade to the house?

[@homeworkloungect]

Yesss queeen im restoring mine and i love your planter idea!

[@bRad96699]

Please look up the frost lvl where you are and put posts under that. A good rule is 3' deep but could be more the further north you live! 1' will be pushed up when the ground freezes.

[@bridgettestokesconner9401]

You’re one smart cookie couple ❣️😊

[@biklighter8936]

You and my lady mustve watched the same diy video cause everything you did/went through happend to us.

[@haleycourtepatte1675]

Nice but it wouldn't be legal where I live: No fire pits under 10 ft away from any structure or tree, and certainly not under a canopy. You can buy a wall-less gazebo for $100-$200 and put it anywhere in your yard, just not over a firepit.

[@operationhotshotinc.6887]

Poor non pressure treated 4x4

[@maryrodriguez8087]

That’s similar to what I want but I have a cement patio where I want to put up a sun shade sail. Any suggestions. Thank you. I love what y’all did.

[@Tasha-ss9mq]

Curious to know how did the canopy hold up after a very hard rain With it being straight across will the rain push down it guess poke it with something soft to push off water after every rain? Just curious how its holding up Looks great tho

[@farmfitnesspham4913]

I don’t know where you live and correct me if I am wrong but that post look like indoor post and I don’t know how you much you spend where you live but here our pressure post is 45$ a post so please don’t use the price to trick people to watch your video

[@marcusl594]

Does the heat from your firepit cause any melting problems on the sail itself? Thanks for the video

[@usernamelastname9708]

1ft deep is not enough. Quick wind will pull it out and can be dangerous. The post will rot with the plants there.

[@eclecticinspiration5064]

Too bad you didn't know to put a protective sleeve around where the dirt would be touching the wood cuz eventually after a while it will rot out but it is still early and you still have an option or an opportunity to seal that piece of wood so you don't lose it protect your assets

[@Stefsaurus83]

Next, watch the sun rise and set to know the best placement and angles.

Anyone know what screws to use to anchor eye pad to cement board?

[@Blubbha]

Good Look. Won't last long with the wood and if it starts to rain happy pushing the top. In Germany those constructions cost less then 800€ all in. So would be a good long-term investment. Let us know if it's still standing after two years.
