The author does like to kzfaq.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.

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 kzfaq.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).

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

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 2 жыл бұрын

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!

Beautiful pergola and very much enjoying your improvements to the house and shop. I appreciate and respect how you show your errors and solutions. I also like how you use the materials and tools you have versus ideal conditions. I am no carpenter but here in Canada (BC) the galvanized nails are eaten away by the preservative in pressure treated wood. (I think) We use coated deck screws with pressure treated wood.

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. boris - West Bromwich

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 2 жыл бұрын

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

@MrChrissammons 2 жыл бұрын

@@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.

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!

I prefer to build without hangers by resting the joists on the main beam. So then I use a notch to keep the rafters in place, much stronger than relying on screws and hangers for support. It's also less work as well.

You should have put pierce od brick slightly smaller then gap in post holder for space for dreinge and to dry out and let post rest on, it is solid, wouldn't settle over time and wood would be "in the air". But pergola look great!

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?

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.
