I Built A Pergola

[@Thecovey1]

You'll never need to worry about cutting the wrong size, spin in circles or waste time trying to figure out what goes where... With ryan's detailed shed plans kzbin.infoUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu , it makes building sheds a breeze - just like putting lego bricks together! You'll be able to create the kind of shed, your neighbors and other woodworkers will secretly envy (while mumbling nice job under their breath).

[@LeslievilleGeeks]

Dont forget to get the ZeboZAP and bring out your old tv.

[@weed5901]

The author does like to kzbin.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

Dont forget the ZeboZAP

[@trishblakely3476]

It looks so great! And it’s always a joy to see Dylan living his best life.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Trish 😊

[@LeighWinspear]

Where its in the ground, treat even tanalised rs/softwood in old engine oil, the black stuff. It soaks it up - especially dried wood like you have done and makes it last years longer. Try it, you might like it! Top video.....

[@kevinphanson]

Nice job on the proper use of joist hangers! Those holes are not for picking and choosing... a nail belongs in EVERY hole! Kudos!

[@daniel__clark]

It was a great idea to use the timber leaning against the wall to act as a platform. I'm going to remember that trick. Thanks for the great content.

[@PabloBD]

Loved the dylan b roll. Pergola looks good so far, it will be great with your attention for detail. looking forward the second part!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks so much Pablo

[@stevebosun7410]

Hi Keith, looks great. Some bituminous paint on the bottom of the posts would have been my choice to help reduce rot.

[@top5tings]

Red oxide first

[@pteddie6965]

This is going to add so much enjoyment for your wife and you. I think that you did an excellent building and explaining the steps. I'm looking forward to the video where you complete the build. Thanks for the video.

[@CherylCold]

Great tip wit the post holder drainage holes

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

Enjoyed this one Keith. Can't believe it's already more then a year ago that I built mine. I like what you did with the end joist hanger. I see you put joist hangers at the front too. I was gonna do that but didn't like the gap at the bottom. I remember actually laying my rafters on the ground with the glazing bars & then laying the sheets on to work out the exact spacing taking into account expansion gaps. I always prefer using the actual sheets rather then relying on what the measurements should be. Interested to hear what you would do different.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers Dave, your build partly inspired me to have a go. Gid's recent pergola was an inspiration too 👍 I'll talk more about the spacings in the next episode, but I didn't have the sheets so had to make some guesses about spacings. It all came good, fortunately!

[@TheToolnut]

I'd recommend a small seat cut on the bottoms of those rafters to get them to seat fully in the hangers, 👍🔨🇮🇪

[@TimBielawa]

Nice build, and I love picking up your British jargon. In the states we call PAR “S4S” - surface 4 sides.

[@thecreativecardinalbyl.bet7012]

Mr. Dylan is a ⭐! Great build!

[@brandonspivey8020]

Good on you man. I am a builder and it is good to see your enjoying your build .

[@jamestonks3042]

Nice to watch a video where you don't show everything going perfectly like other videos I watch.. real world stuff well done

[@ra4yu]

im a carpenter by trade and i build a pergola for my house recently. I spent 700aud in timber although i had 3 posts and a privacy screen down the front, it took me 7 days labour(which a quick and dirty estimate here would by 500aud a day) although that included painting(it rained and the painting was 3-4 days). I didnt have to do any concrete work but thats where the uncertainty would be in this job so you would see a mark up for that if you paid somebody to do this, lucky for yours it seemed quite straight forward. Overall i think your costing is quite accurate, great job!

[@candela.dominguez]

I love this. It gives me ideas for my own home

[@Jhongerage]

Looks good, but a pergola is definitely an opportunity to show off form over function and have a bit of fun. I went for routed shapes on each rafter and wooden plugs hiding carriage bolts.

[@hilalmahmoud3478]

You seem like you know what you're talking about, hopefully willing to also guide me on making my own, my garden patio isn't as big as OP

[@Stacy-hc6gv]

Looks great especially with the opal poly, watched a few videos but decided to go with yours as we like the modern look, I'm also going with the opal roof

[@cheeks6310]

I like that this isn't perfect because we can learn about the things we need to watch out for

[@georgesparrow100]

My style of building! Good attention to detail and lots of overthinking everything!👍

[@markwatters6875]

Dylan the Supervisor. Entertainment area is taking shape nicely.

[@seanviggers2228]

I'm absolutely shocking at things like this but to my wife's dismay I'm gonna give this a go in the summer. Great vid 👌

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Good luck!

[@dlamb2840]

Hi Dylan another great upload. You’re looking in fantastic shape for a senior feline. Can’t wait for your next upload. Ps. That Keith lad that lives with you seems pretty good at building pergolas.

[@divestor]

Load tied to your windshield wiper is probably the most insane thing I have seen today

[@Ducttapeoperator]

Great video Keith

[@barryroberts6470]

Great build Keith it looks really solid and looks nice as well. Stay Safe, Barry (Wirral)

[@StuffIMade]

Well done! love the choice of colour!!

[@PhilisophicalDad]

You did great guys. Something you can stand back and look at and say, "yes. We did that". I'm getting ready to put up a frame. I kayed my patio out with 2x2x2 rock shape molds, 8x16. Now the frame and roof.

[@deanchivers6396]

Ironically I'm mid way through building a gazebo, really enjoyed this video. Keep up the great work Keith!!

[@robertbamford8266]

Battery saw at the lumberyard - a great convenience! I’ve also started using glazer’s packers (flat shims) on top of temporary supports to get beams level before fixing. Your concerns about trapped water at the post bases is valid. I put in some posts using the type of base that you have. They were mounted on/in slightly raised concrete piers to allow drainage. And as you demonstrated you could probably use the pergola as the base for a balcony.

[@tanelviksi7574]

In Estonia (where we have long winters and it's raining a lot) we use either tar paper or birch bark in between wood and stone. It's been done like that for 1000's of years. This permits the the wood to dry and doesn't allow the moisture to creap upwards from the concrete. And of course, you need the drainage.

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Wow I like it Keith. Something I wouldn’t mind doing one day if I get an opportunity. Great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers

[@eyuptony]

Very professional job Keith. I like the reformed joist hangers, great idea. It's very rigid. Tony

[@traciebarrass6612]

I’m so wanting to do this for myself, but I’m also very nervous of messing it up. But thank you for sharing really enjoying watching you have given me something to think about. Xx

[@m4ckm4n59]

Have a go. If you make a mistake along the way just do that bit again. Keep the extra wood for another project :)

[@Sammo-w2y]

Hi Keith looks great. Like the painted effect. For ascetics I would consider putting additional supports that you put on the front. The 45% supports on the sides as well. You also need to seal the wall plate so that water doesn't get behind it.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

There's going to be a roof on top as explained in the video

[@Sammo-w2y]

@@RagnBoneBrown TBH I would have either fitted the wall plate so it's not touching the wall (using spacers) or sealed it straight away. From your comment I assume you will be installing a version of flashing to carry the water away.

[@jeepeopleoverland2988]

Whats the measurements on the pieces you cut at 45 degree ángle at the end on the posts

[@johnmcclue6419]

Great video.

[@Gojirosan]

Interesting job, marvellous amount of Dylan, great video. Thank you!

[@hdwoodshop]

I saw someone use epoxy for sealing ends of wood legs. I think that’d seal the pergola legs too. You were smart to drill out the drain. Uk weather can get pretty wet.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yeah that was probably the wood whisperer. From what I've heard, it's best to let the wood breathe, get wet and dry out naturally

[@user-ln3bd9gz5v]

Lovely! 😎👍

[@paulprescott7913]

Thanks Keith i picked up a few tips from this vid. Always good to see Dylan.

[@marcchrys]

Nice job. Much more thorough in design than I'm planning for my pergola ;-)

[@peterburley2086]

I have not even watched this video but just seeing the opening shot I suggest you look at what a pergola is. What you have produced is a structure for a light roof !!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

That's because it is, as explained in the video that you haven't watched

[@ryanh3285]

Just what i need although i have a few obstacles to work around like a chimney breast and small shed.

[@TESTA-CC]

You only need 1 straight edge, the hole saw holes and track on the other side isn't needed. It also blocks your view of cut. It also means you cant saw full length and finish off the cut because of the metal bracket at the end.

[@markdyballuk]

good job Keith

[@fontybits]

Enlarge it slightly and add some suitable roofing materials = lovely carport! That's what me and the Mrs. did last year.

[@awantamta]

It's looking good and solid

[@rnvrnv354]

Very nice! In America we call them 2x4's

[@ALWAYS_FIGHT_THE_OPRESSOR]

LOOKS GOOD

[@Liam....]

Very strong structure, maybe a little too strong for those polycarbonate sheets, think you could put another floor on top 🤣

[@jonathanwatson5843]

Another brilliant video , I love your videos and everything you make. Keep up the good work 👌

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks

[@Retrobots]

Great pergola and video!

Just wanted to appreciate the furry dude helping you out

[@eugenegallagher]

Looks good. Great job. Tell me, did you happen to watch Gids videos of the summer house and pergola builds?

[@fernandorei4401]

Vergonha good

Enjoyed. Well done!

[@mbelehoroto4437]

I love this, thanks for the video

[@amananaher]

Thanks for all info

[@blank-dr2kx]

Never seen anyone put the posts up before the wall brace that’s bizarre lol spoilt it with those silver holders you’d done the hard bit by fixing a support beam the the wall fix to that

[@s.r.200]

0:21 -> loving the fake number plate jajajajaja

[@johnslattery6194]

u fixed the wallplate into the brick joints instead of solid brick

[@RagnBoneBrown]

No, i didn't

[@gurbaj3674]

Good

[@vjimmy12]

Well done , nice job

[@uktony1525]

With the fascination on KZbin with cats you should possibly rename the channel "Dylan and Keith do woodworking" 😁. Great looking pergola which will be glorious to sit under with a cold beer in the summer.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you

[@yontorres]

Dylan and cat. 😊

[@LeslievilleGeeks]

Get a tv inside with ZeboZAP! Literally took me 10 minutes. It straps on like a bra.

[@rainy4036]

Excellent!

[@smallspacecreation5768]

Looking good certainly going to be strong enough 👍👍👍👍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers Mark👍

[@deepconcept2020]

I presses like immediately after he shows those mistakes

[@jablot5054]

The joints hangers spoil it. Notching into a bigger the wall plate would look better. What you going to do with it?

[@AshFromEarth]

Really helpful video! I’m doing something really similar, but was wondering when it comes to attaching the rafters, do you have to use hangers? I had it in my mind that I’d attach a beam to the wall as you did but then notch out the rafters and screw them down on top of that beam, then on the other end where they attach to the frame to notch out ‘bird mouths’ and do the same? Also I’m thinking of doing my entire frame and rafters in 100x100mm beams for a chunky country look, would you recommend leaving the wood to dry as you did? What’s the benefit to doing that vs building the frame before the wood has completely dried, and letting it dry once built and in place?

[@theneone111]

Nice video, thanks

[@Lord-Panda2112]

This was a really great video. All these projects... Your home must be spectacular!! 2:46 you do look like you are slow dancing with the pole (or gently humping it!! 🤣🤣). Sorry, couldn't resist.

[@georgeomalley6066]

[@smusyk2859]

Excellent

[@Lord-Panda2112]

Yes! Wood!!!!!!

[@Thedog30]

Varnish the bottom of the posts and silicone the seal

[@RagnBoneBrown]

No the wood needs to be able to expel moisture, sealing it in is a terrible idea

[@JustKaylo]

Hi, where did you buy the wall anchors to secure the wall plate? Many thanks 👍🏽

[@justrobin1234]

Take a shot everytime you hear "offer(ing) up"!

[@montiraruba2831]

Thanks for sharing your video. I do want to advise to get yourself a pair of safety glasses.

[@waheedmalik6120]

Which paint did you use? Did you need undercoat as well?

[@Ukman-england]

I put my posts in plastic bags. But it didn't look good the noise when we sat outside wind blowing them

[@flamecrow]

Kitty was the star of the show

[@ellisfletcher3491]

keeup the good content man!

[@randomer6686]

Hi keith big fan of your channel and love your videos and myself am a fellow woodworker and just wanted to ask have you ever made a bench seat or similar from old solid doors,I have seen similar guys on KZbin do it but as I'm a fan of your channel I was just wandering how you would do it yourself just as more interesting content and would be nice to see your version of building one, thanks for your time and keep up the channel take care kindest regards tezzy

[@MrSmid888]

Must be exhausting doing the in-depth explanations. Enjoyed that. Be interesting to hear what you’d do different. I must admit it’s the first time I’ve seen one done with hangers. Did the job mind. Cheers

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks
