UNDER $240 DIY PERGOLA WITH CONCRETE CINDER BLOCKS - CAN BE RENTER FRIENDLY!

[@jerrimester-stewart4317]

Girl !!!!!you did that Shout out to mom...that's what us mom's are for.....love love love it

[@timothybarnard4369]

I think painting the cinder blocks would soften the look of them. Your project came out beautiful!

[@CozyCozy]

Hey! Sorry about the delay, I have been busy with some exciting news I’ll tell you soon. The top of the pergola video will be up before the end of the week, I promise!!!!

[@horses2by]

Looks fantastic

[@sandradavidowitz3550]

Looks great! Looking forward to the covered version since that would be my choice! Keep up the great work!!!

[@MsSwitchblade13]

I love this idea!! I already have four wooden posts in the ground and the lights

[@willowsmom1299]

Was the covered version posted yet?

[@susangwilt792]

it looks WOW! I love it I love that much I'm going to give a go myself like yourself I'm on a budget, thanks for sharing your amazing work

[@ami2846]

The renter friendly inspiration I needed. Readymade gazebo weights are expensive, and we can’t drill into the ground or walls. Thank you! The lemongrass and flowers were a super cute touch.

[@CozyCozy]

I’m glad I could help! Thank you!!!

[@lifeisgood9175]

Brilliant! I have not seen anyone do anything even similar. This is what I have been searching for. Congrats, it is beautiful!

[@temporarilyimmortal795]

This is very practical and looks elegant. Exactly what I was searching for. Tells Moms she nailed it!

[@alonnastafford8412]

Just bought everything i need to make this including part 2… so excited!!

[@nkelmorgan40]

You have no idea how much I needed this! It turned out beautifully

[@diffened]

Great job! I also like that you kept it simple but also made it look great. Concrete blocks are still one of the cheapest things a person can buy and as you have shown, are very versatile.

[@jbsprojects8186]

Anything that you do on your own is great... I'm a firm believer in DIY. Your backyard looks awesome

[@amphindian]

that looks amazing and gave me a great idea to do this without buying one of those overpriced kits , thanks so much!

[@user-yd4yr5hr3s]

Absolutely love the way you explain everything how detailed you are and how creative you are not only as a stylist but as a content creator wow I know your mamma is proud so young and doing life right super sweet you get to experience it all with your mom miss mine like crazy every day we used to make Christmas wreaths with clothes hangers and trash bags and little decorations and sell them she was so crafty absolutely so happy to find your channel can’t wait to see more🥰

[@CozyCozy]

Awwww thank you so much and my mom is amazing! I’m sorry for your loss and I’m so happy you still have those memories with her! Keep making more memories because I’m sure she’s looking down on you smiling ❤️

[@denisefoster6865]

This is perfect for the outdoor patio space at my rental apartment. So glad I found you.

[@mariaday3798]

Beautiful results, love that the family worked together, God bless!

[@Spiritofmyancestors_71]

This is beautiful.♥️ Thank you for sharing the affordable Pergola idea. I can’t wait to take this idea into my inspiration.🥰

[@winonaleonard5321]

BEAUTIFUL your Mom needs to have ❤ her own DIY TV show she definitely did that and you did ❤ too Peace and Blessings.

[@Legacy_125]

You and Mom are absolute Genius! You have given me an idea for a privacy wall. Turn stones on side and slide in 2x4

[@lydiecakes3337]

This was a great video. Thank U for the Renter friendly tips and tricks. I'm tired of our patio not being covered and wanted something that could be heavy enough to be hurricane proof in Florida. Awesome thinking.

[@suzycowan5072]

First, Yes, most definitely, Lemon Grass repels mosquitos and some other biting bugs. I love what you've done here, It never would have occurred to me to glue two single blocks together. Unfortunately, I would have walked away disappointed and tried another day or somewhere else to get the double blocks which would have put off the project even further. I love that you used the other three holes to plant into and I love the curtains you put up around your pergola. I am going to look for your video on the material you used and also how you were able to put a canopy on your pergola. You did an absolute splendid job and it looks beautiful all the way to the light caps you purchased for your 4x4 posts. It is videos' like yours that give so many of us inspiration and I am very grateful that you took the time to make a video to share with all of us. May you have an enjoyable bite-free summer with many happy evenings on your beautiful patio. Many Blessings to you always. P.S. I am subscribing to watch more of your videos - Tip: You can also use peppermint plants to keep mosquitos away and also a mixture of Orange oil & Clove oil to keep ants and other crawlies off your patio, hope this helps some.

[@CozyCozy]

Wow Suzy!!! Your comment really made my day! I was really discouraged with the blocks at 1st because I originally bought the wrong blocks and I wasted money having to rent a truck twice by having to return them to get new ones. When I got there & noticed they didn’t have double blocks, I was thinking I have to make it work somehow. I remember it being like 90 degrees that day but I made it work lol. I’ll definitely try the peppermint plants & let you know how it worked! Thanks for watching and I’m happy I could help!

[@ffrancine]

Love love your reveal......I'm so going to build one on my patio!!!! Thanks for the inspiration. I was trying to come up with a privacy screen idea.!!!! This is it!!!!!!

[@mycreations318]

I love how you’re so real about what you’re doing. Like when you forgot what stain was for a second. Love the realism. Plus you treat us like we’re intelligent human beings which I also really like about your channel. Thank you for the awesome video. This is definitely helping me.❤❤

[@msweaver61]

What clever thrifty women!! I’ve been struggling with cost for building a shade pergola and still able to hold up in the wind and elements here in Northern California. Perfection! Mustard is also my favorite color😂

[@Ellobuhbyehair]

Same! I'm also in Northern California. I've been looking at different designs, and so far, this seems like the most sturdy. I think it will hold up to the wind.

[@honestly8015]

You and your mom are very impressive women! I applaud your creativity and DIY spirit.

[@miimetuaratai6866]

Awesome job love it 👍♥️🤗

[@ns9817]

Exactly what I needed! And it just popped up I'm so lucky! Nice job. Gorgeous

[@vanessathompson7468]

I love it! Thank you fort his video! I have been wanting a pergola without the cost!!!

[@kimberlyt4361]

I was trying to figure out how to do this on a rental property. Tell mom's thanks!!! You executed it brilliantly! ❤

[@angelisoriginals6854]

So cozy worth the time and work 🥰💕. 💃🏽💪 Props to your mom for her ideas and help. Women and creativity are awesome!!!

[@ireneferrante2313]

That came out so beautiful!!! You did a wonderful job on this.

[@AllieY96]

You and your mom are absolutely brilliant!

[@MissCourt88]

“Save big money at Menards!” I haven’t heard that jingle in about a decade so when you mentioned Menards I got so excited. Where I live now everything is super expensive and I thought “there’s no way I can do this for that cheap” well I put everything needed in a cart at home depots online and it was under $240!! I cannot wait to start this project. I adopted a kitty off the streets where I live but my landlord will not allow her inside so I want to build a small space where we can hang out. (Until I find cat friendly housing.) This is exactly what we needed. Thank you so much to you and your mom for this video. 💕 all the other DIY’s like this are super pricy and seem way more complicated than this. You’re making a new cat mom very excited. Thank you so much (,:

[@dodosmamma1692]

You’re very talented, the results are awesome and I think even more gorgeous and rewarding knowing that you created this yourself and are sharing it with us. 🥰🥰🥰

[@LivingEmpoweredToday]

Love this! I live on acreage in Hawaii and really needed this easy project! For stain to protect from carpenter bees, if you live in tropics, use old motor oil first, or alone. Bees wont drill and termites dont like it either. Im getting this stuff next week!

[@torirobinson5635]

This is very nice, definitely a place to vibe and chill with family and friends..you guys did an awesome job!!

[@vanessathompson7468]

I need the tarp video ASAP, lol!!!

[@lorettauppercue6400]

How gorgeous. Your Mom should be a room designer, or architect. Great ideas

[@CozyCozy]

I agree! Thanks Loretta!

[@TexPR1]

My sister lives in Ohio and she is always talking about Maynard’s. Lemon grass does repel misquotes. Very nice job. You and your momma are awesome DIYers.

[@donniblahh]

This is AWESOME. THANKS TO YOUR MOTHER AND YOUR ASSISTANCE... Working as a team. You ladies did great and I luv it!! I'm going to look for your other video for a top. You've gave me some great ideas.

[@alexandrapomeroy8050]

Gorgeous, stroke of brilliance using the breeze blocks to hold the poles and pretty up with plants.

[@karenhardy3029]

I love your craftiness. Can't wait to see how you cover the top. I have the frame of a gazebo that purchased off Facebook marketplace, but no cover. I did not want to spend a great deal of money buying a new one, so your ideas are helpful. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@CozyCozy]

I’m glad I can help & I’ll post the top shade soon! Thanks Karen

[@Ellobuhbyehair]

This is such a great idea. I am a renter and we have NO shade in the backyard. Our summers get pretty hot where I am. Thanks for the inspiration! It looks beautiful! ❤

Great idea to use the breeze blocks. We live in a rented property so not allowed to do anything structural. Breeze blocks are just the answer I was looking for. Thank you so much. New subbie.

[@CozyCozy]

I’m glad I could help!!!! Thank you

[@pamburn59]

Great job👏🏽👏🏽

[@marianamunoz6075]

♥️ 🙏 Hey!!! New to your channel! LOVE what you did here! (Makes me feel like a actually CAN do this all by myself instead of waiting 10 years for my husband to do it for me)! Love your plants! Guess what the top 5 mosquito repelling plants are: Lavender, Marigold, citronella grass (AKA lemon grass 😂), catmint & rosemary! I have found that many pesky bugs & rodents dislike peppermint, which I happen to love, so I always grow some in my backyard along with the other plants I’ve mentioned. & lots of basil! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

[@Godsownsunshine8]

Thank you! When you do build yours, let me know how it does!

[@lindabrown8286]

I am so excited to have found your pergola construction! Yesterday my patio was completed with laid pavers. Your pergola instructions are so complete I now know how to make them. I will use this info to add some sunshade as soon as your video adding a tarp is ready. I live in southern Arizona USA. It is really hot now, and our monsoon season should start this week. Am sooo ready for the rain.

[@lindabrown8286]

Tentatively, after my posts are completed, I can hang a tarp on the hooks you installed on the wooden posts as a sunshade. I appreciate the creativity that you and your mother have shared with everyone. I am a "visual" learner and your video is perfect for me

[@bmiscellaneous7757]

Wow! I'm all about renter budget friendly. You do it with style. Lovely, thank you! I've seen two of your vids (so far) and really appreciate your practical advice. Summer projects await.

New subscriber, just what I was looking for, ur mom is very innovative and we’re able to put in the work and execute, what a great team!

[@chrisclare565]

Good job. Lemongrass is effective for keeping mozzies away. Your dragon flowers are called Celosia, very pretty. I think they're annuals so they will probably die off. Plant mint in their place. Not only will it keep the bugs away but the sun will release the oils during the day and give you a sense of calm at night.

[@thejoyofthelordismystrength]

Wow! thank you, easy peasy, inexpensive and stunning

[@adrianem.johnson8033]

Wow! Awesome job ladies, and gentleman for tying the bow😅. This is a Super budget friendly option! 💪🏽 I think Power washing the existing patio before adding this feature would spruce it up and liven the space up even more.🤗 The ambiance and vibe is super chill. Great work! 👏🏽👏🏽

[@CozyCozy]
