In this video I build a pergola in our garden using rough sawn lumber from pressure treated softwood. 0:00 Introduction and collection of wood…
[ad_1]


I recently built a pergola in my backyard to provide shade and create a relaxing outdoor space. I used pressure-treated wood for the structure and added lattice panels for additional privacy. I also installed outdoor lighting to extend the pergola’s use into the evening. Overall, the project was challenging but rewarding, and I’m pleased with the final result.

Conclusion

Building a pergola can be a rewarding project that adds beauty and function to your outdoor space. With careful planning and the right materials, you can create a relaxing and stylish addition to your home.

FAQs

Q: How long did it take to build the pergola?

A: It took me approximately two weekends to complete the pergola, including staining and installing the lattice panels.

Q: What materials did you use for the pergola?

A: I used pressure-treated wood for the structure and cedar for the lattice panels. Both materials are durable and weather-resistant, making them ideal for outdoor use.

    How much machines do you need for working man… ?

    I have two of these stupid things on my property. Makes no sense to me. I suppose the idea is the partial shade? Just turns out to be a giant naked frame of a building

  12. Hello, excellent work! I am worried that the ledge board may fall when we randomly fasten it to the brick wall without anchoring it to the studs. Is my thought a concern?

  13. @damienb6009 10 months ago

    Hi, what a great work, it will inspire me for my own pergola building for sure.
    Could you please give me the reference of the wall anchors you're using at 05:41 ?

    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 https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxb2mhCug-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).

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

    The author does like to https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-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.

    What was the width and length of the pergola ?

  20. @TedwardSchmedwardCubing 10 months ago

    Hi! Nice video, I am thinking about doing something similar this summer but I was wondering how long it took you to build. Thanks

  21. LOOKS GOOD

  22. @PhilisophicalDad 10 months ago

    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, 8×16. Now the frame and roof.

  28. @robertkattner1997 10 months ago

    So you built one, why do we have to see how you built it? Can you do anything without youtube?

    I'm about to build one just like that, very similar way. This video saved me the guess work. Thanks

  32. @ciararespect4296 10 months ago

    I am curious about you saying an aluminum F section at each end would suffice on its own without needing additional glazing bars? Did it work ok? Thanks

    Regarding rot at the base of the posts: Twice my wife and I have built similar pergolas/lean-toos.
    What we do is:

    a. Drill holes circa three inches up into the post bottoms
    b. Hammer 12mm Allthread up into them (pointing the end & smearing Hard As Nails/other over).
    c. Drill corresponding holes down into the concrete/slab.
    d. Spin on Wide Washer/Nuts/Wide Washer
    e. Drop into the holes.

    This leaves each post 'floating' off the ground whilst keeping them in position.
    The wide washers distribute the downward stress.
    Any rain drops off – first installed 2006. Still no sign of rot.

    Over to everyone else for their two pennies worth.

    You can "paint" the poles where they go in the ground with liquidy rubber. Not sure what the English word is. To make it waterproof
