Amazing! Would you use 2x4 if you were to build it away from the house?
@MakingHomeBetter 17 күн бұрын
I think building it with 2x4 would be just fine and much easier. However, I would do it with metal studs, even if it was a little further from the house to be on the safe side.

Nope. This is the 10th video (so far) how to fix the hinge on the door FRAME side. Everyone knows this fix because the frame is a solid piece of wood. Why not show the difficult fix on the actual DOOR side where the door is hollow inside? I've used those plastic drywall screw insets to varying, sometimes lasting, sometimes temporary success but I would like to know a more professional, longer lasting fix for HOLLOW door holes that have no backing to put dowels or toothpicks into. Not solid door frames. That's easy. Please. Where are the real fix-it men?

The dimensions will probably be different for you given your equipment and available space ( I would have made mine longer to add in a griddle if I had the space). However the frame for me was 101.5" x 32.5" and 33" tall.

Looks nice but what does it look like after a few years? Does it gets darker the next time you stain it and can you wash or bleach the dirt stuck in the oil? Maybe this kind of oil isn't as problematic as oil for wooden deck.

@@MakingHomeBetter thanks for replying. I understand, it’s just questions I have before choosing type of color and protection. I want it to look good in 10 years too and it has to be easy to apply more or remove old stain. There actually are products for removing what we call lasyr paint (glaze) here in Sweden. The only problem is that it will damage my plastic roof. I have to keep looking. I guess some kind of oil based stain is the easiest even though it will get darker every year you apply it.

I cannot praise this video enough! I've been wishing for/planning a pergola for more than a dozen years and your detailed/concise descriptions answered so many questions and filled essential knowledge gaps for me. I've watched more how-to videos on this topic than I care to admit but your video was worth the search! The design you created is beautifully sleek and clean! The dado details were ideal for this look, but definitely something I would have considered far beyond my capabilities until I watched your video. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and techniques during the process. Your video narration style and the way you broke the project down has proved invaluable!🙂🙂🙂

For anyone making firepits, you need vents. This is an explosion waiting to happen if there is a gas leak. So many KZfaqrs making these firepits and no vents at all. Propane needs vents as low as possible and cross wind placement and natural gas needs at top. Vents!!!
@MakingHomeBetter 3 ай бұрын
The entire fire pit is raised an inch off the ground to account for venting.
@haunthunterify 3 ай бұрын
@@MakingHomeBetter you have a natural gas connection so in your case, your vents should be near the top, not the bottom. For Propane, since Propane is heavier than air, it will sink to the bottom so vents should be at bottom.

By notching the vertical beams and then putting horizontal beams you have load bearing ALL the way to the ground. Thats STRONG! I see a lot of videos where people attach horizontal beams/rafters to vertical posts with 2 bolts so all the weight is being held on those 2 bolts which is crazy cause the bolt can shear off. In your structure the weight of horizontal beams is being carried by the solid wood contained in the vertical beam all the way to the ground. Now maybe should put polycarbonate roofing on top to potect from rain. Maybe solar panels too? I had whole family come out Fathers day to initially help me get veticals in place yes great having family help!
