i wish there was a videos of people sitting and swinging gently on these. i want to see if it creeks and pulls

@SimonSaysDIY Жыл бұрын

Very true. Sorry for not including that. No creaking or moving that I could see when in use. I believe we may have gone a bit over kill on the concrete holding the posts but better save than sorry. Thanks!

very helpful. I don't build things, but I want to so I was watching this to teach myself how. I am building a 18-20 ft long by 8 foot wide up against my house. at one of the narrow ends is my back door. the other end I want a swing. Do you have any suggestions about additional support since it is much bigger. I only need one swing though.

I'm not sure I follow you on the frost line comment. Where I live the frost depth can go as low as 8 feet. My fence does not go this deep and has yet to become affected.

How far away from the fire pit is your legs when swinging with a fire ?

@SimonSaysDIY Ай бұрын

It is a bit close if you are swing while the fire is going. I would recommend not having a large fire going. 😊

Did you drill pilot holes for the lag screws?

@SimonSaysDIY 9 ай бұрын

We didn’t pre-drill. These lag screws didn’t require pre-drilling. If your using larger lag bolts you will want to pre-drill.

@JohnWic-ld2fd Ай бұрын

Do you think that gravel is still gravel once you pour in the concrete?? I think the concrete turns that gravel into concrete and I don’t think the ends on the post rot because of all that concrete around them lol frost won’t push that big thing out I install fences so kinda dug a lot of holes for 4x4’s here in Pa and it’s not that serious lol ❤🫡

@SimonSaysDIY Ай бұрын

Thanks for the tips! I imagine the concrete would soak into the gravel and bond with it. But you’re probably right, that post won’t rot any time soon.

I listened several times. Maybe I missed it. How tall and wide is the pergola? What size (in length) post did you use? Will 8 feet posts work?

@SimonSaysDIY 2 жыл бұрын

The width is 10x10 and the posts are 8ft above ground and you will want to place 2-3feet down into the ground. we used 12ft for the vertical posts and 10ft for the horizontal beams. Thanks!

Can you use 4x4s instead of 6x6s.

@JohnWaclawski Жыл бұрын

He mentioned in his video to not use 4x4. In all my research for something like this, everyone is using 6x6.

@B_DD-hs6wz Жыл бұрын

It’s states on the video you can but not recommended as 6x6 will last longer. Not sure what John is talking about

If it is pressure treated it should last for many years especially if you keep it stained or painted. Thanks! 😄

Nvm, 8 feet apart. How high is it tho?

We have it at 8 feet high. It’s on a slight hill so a few are higher than 8ft to keep the top beam level.

Nice but damn your fire would have to be 6" high only or you will burn your shins and the swings. Definitely way way too close by atleast 1.5-2'

Very odd idea? 🤔 Too many swings🙄 Why not stain it before you erect it? Fire pit too close. 1 swing would suffice and use chairs. Cover the top with pergola rafters and it will look better. 👌

@Lefishn 10 ай бұрын

100% agree that way too many swings and way too close. Maybe they have never actually sat infront of a Bonfire before to know how hot it is??
