Building an Open-Air Workshop

Check out our new outdoor workshop! We used the Toja Grid Modular pergola system to build an open-air workshop for our rental house in Joshua Tree. The covered workshop was made by inserting standard 10-foot long 4x4s that we got from Home Depot into the Toja Grid steel brackets. The result is a structure that is 10' by 20' by 10'.

For those worried about rain and damp, this is in the Mojave desert. If there is rain in the forecast they can take the tools inside or just throw a tarp over them.

The directions recommended three people to put it up, but meh figured I could do it by myself. LOL, love it, this is what I would try to do as well.

@papounetpatenaude 4 жыл бұрын

Sometimes you need help. But usually one is more efficient. If you're going to move it. Next time you put it back together, you might want to glue the wall boards together. If you ever move it after, you just have to cut a vertical line up the middle of the 4x4 support and you have a few panels instead of a multitude of boards to puzzle back together! Very nice build BTW!

@MichaelLargent 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, Do you happen to recall the welds on the inside of your Trio brackets causing you trouble getting the wood in? Mine are large and basically prevent the wood from sliding in as advertised. Was that a rubber mallet you used to hammer them in?

@keansalzer8364 3 жыл бұрын

Live in an area where a half dozen times a year the winds blow steady at 50mph with gusts of 70mph for 3 days straight. Most of those times it's raining sideways. Wonder if you think this Toja system would stand up to that kind of beating. Of course I wouldn't leave my tools uncovered, but I'm concerned about the structure.

@alexworks9659 5 жыл бұрын

Dude, you barely averted personal injury there. Options: 1-Raise a “bent” or one arch shape brace with 45 of 2x4, the the other and connect them horizontally. 2- screw base to 2x4s or plywood 4’x4’ base for each post , temp screw to deck, attach beams one at a time. 3- Nail on drag legs and diagonal brace so as you raise, it braces itself. 4- consult a a good framer. Would have given you half dozen safer quicker ways to do this. You kinda got this idea towards the end of it. I’ve built a lot solo and that could have gone wrong in a heartbeat.

@thedyslexic9936 5 жыл бұрын

Is the finished product actually 10' x 20' or 10' 9" x 21' 1/2" ? Isn't there a 1" screwing flange on each base (so add 1" on all four sides for them)...and then don't you have to allow for the width of the brackets that the 4x4s go in to (so add 3 1/2" x 2 = 7" for front to back AND add 3 1/2" x 3 = 10 1/2" for side to side). I love how the product looks and goes together but it won't fit a 12' deck...so I have to go with a 10" product for front to back or build a deck deeper than 12''. Isn't that so?

@refusoagaino6824 5 жыл бұрын

First time framing? That's not how we do it. Stand up the four posts using temporary braces, level, plumb and square. Then use your go-cart to assemble the top pieces, one at a time. Consolidate the braces until the whole thing is geometrically perfect then lock it that way.

can you explain exactly how three people would make it safer? I appreciate the concern and I might be missing something but the ratings on the scaffolding and the wood supports are well above the weight of the structure.
