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).

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.

With the fascination on KZfaq 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.

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

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.

Great tip wit the post holder drainage holes

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.....

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

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

Proper job as always Keith, love the colour 👌

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

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.

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

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

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

Thankyou!! You’ve solved our problems today!

Well done! love the choice of colour!!

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

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

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

Great tips all the way through, thanks!!

Mr. Dylan is a ⭐! Great build!

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.

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

good job Keith

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

Well done and well explained. Thank you,

Thanks for all info

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

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

Excellent!

It's looking good and solid

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

Great job mate thank you.

I love this, thanks for the video

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

Great video Keith

Nice, been thinking about that as a project.

Great job 👏

Great pergola and video!

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

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. Some bituminous paint on the bottom of the posts would have been my choice to help reduce rot.

That looks great.

Enjoyed. Well done!

Looks great, I really like the colour, much prefer it to the bare wood look

LOOKS GOOD

Brilliant ideas, subscribed

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.

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.

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.

Very nice ! 😊👍🏼

Well done , nice job

Thanks for the video it will help me load with my summer pergola project this year. Btw I loved it when your cat yawned (4:38) during your sponsor section :) you couldn't script it if you tried. Keep up the good work!.

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

Good job mate!

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

Looks great Keith.

Looking good👍🏽

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!

Gr8 work mate... !!

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.

Dylan the Supervisor. Entertainment area is taking shape nicely.

The only reason I didn't fast forward through your bit about Tradify is because I wanted to watch your kitty-cat. Well played sir.

it looks so great!my pergola is also great!

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

Great job!!!!!

Nice video, thanks

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

Excellent

Nice one again mate 👍👍

If you've only come here for Dylan skip to: 04:17; 10:29 (Dylan hurtles towards the camera); 11:17 (Dylan needs a rest after all that running); 12:55 & 13:11.

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.

Nice work

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

Super job 👍🏼

Good job

Do you have. A list of the wood ,sizes and amounts you used please ?????

Nice Job

You said at one point, “ I don’t know if this is how the pros do it, but it worked for me” Keith, I bet you would teach the so called pros lot of things! I am supposed to be a pro lol and I have learned a lot through your channel. To me you are a fellow pro.

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

Good grafting

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.

keeup the good content man!

great video

"I don't know if this is how the pros do it but it worked for me!" Are you kidding me? What do you call yourself then :) Thanks for the detailed video!

Vergonha good

I had to cut half lap joints at the top of a post exactly the same but the post was concreted in so I had to do it up a ladder. That was pretty hair raising!

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!

very nice!

great vid, just wondering what you think of 4x4 post holders for the pergola foundation. trying to avoid concrete if at all possible.

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

Nice 👍

Nice!

It's really nice, please. I Want to see complete. Pagola Thanks

Good Belle réalisation

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.

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