Making a Paver Patio & String Light Planters | Summer Project

[@yolandagarciagarcia6633]

It was excellent, what color is the paint I use?

[@dawnlopez6951]

I love this! We just had a 12x30 upper deck built and now I want to do some of these ideas for underneath since there is a huge open space now, Great for a brick patio!! Good job!

[@TysonMooreBuilds]

Thank you so much! So sorry I missed this comment originally

[@MarcoAFernandezJr]

What is the height of the 4x4s you used?

[@ginger_blu4379]

Do you think you could use the planters for a retractable canopy?

[@MsSouth]

Where is the info on the quickset cement? This looks amazing! But I only need the planters

[@april1024me]

Very nice 👍💕

[@TysonMooreBuilds]

Thank you so much!

[@LutherBuilds]

Awesome job brother! I'm sure you and your family are going to enjoy that space. God bless.

[@TysonMooreBuilds]

Thank you so much Josh! I appreciate the encouragement buddy

[@christianconnor7255]

Have a quick question about the 4x4s. Do you think they will start bowing being out in the weather? How long do you think they will last?

[@TysonMooreBuilds]

Hey Christian! It has been about 3 months now and the 4x4's are still going strong!

[@Cragun.]

That looks cool. Did you screw anything through the brackets on those 4x4s or were they just for stability?

[@TysonMooreBuilds]

Good eye! My original idea was that I was going to acres it into the bottom of the planter, but that 4x4 post was so heavy I doubt it would have held. So I just left them on and used them for just stability

Awesome work! Saw you on TikTok and those planters caught me! New subscriber! Thanks for sharing your talents! - Mac

[@TysonMooreBuilds]

Wow thanks so much for making the journey across platforms Mac! I appreciate your encouragement!

[@ryang1974]

Great job on this!! I want to do this, what type of wood post did you use? Thanks for sharing!

[@TysonMooreBuilds]

Hey Ryan! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch. I used a pressure-treated 4x4 post for the planter! It may not last forever, but my ultimate goal will be to build a pergola back here one day so this works for now!

@@TysonMooreBuilds Burning it not only makes it look awesome, it also adds life to the posts!

[@TysonMooreBuilds]

@@Cragun. that’s what we accidentally discovered! I originally was burning it away from the post just to dry it out some before we stained it but then as I got too close and the grain started to burn I was like “woah! That is going to look awesome!” Haha

[@stacyshiffer2941]

@@TysonMooreBuilds how tall are the posts? Green treated? Thanks! Doing the planters around our pool...going to look awesome!!

[@TysonMooreBuilds]

@@stacyshiffer2941 That is awesome! Yes, these were pressure-treated 4x4's and were 8 feet tall. They are plenty tall because they are in planters and not set in the ground. They say it is not a good practice to stain posts right away because of the chemicals they used to treat it, but we used a blow torch to help dry out the wood enough for us to stain

[@Sierra-sy1qn]

How much would you say this project cost you, without the furniture included?

[@TysonMooreBuilds]

That’s a great question. It all depends on the size of patio you are making. For us we chose a large space 14’x24’ so it was 3 pallets of bricks. It was almost $1k in bricks and about $300 for all the sand and crusher run from a local supply place, and around $100 for the polymeric sand. So maybe around 1,500
