This book is Awesome! I love the Lean-To-Shed the most (page 98). The plan ru-vid.comUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR is to attach it to the back of my brick house. I also like how they walk you through the many different steps of construction, which is important for the less experienced like me.
You guys did a great job exactly what I’m trying to do at my house but I can never explain it to any contractor that comes by for an estimate. This is perfect!
That's a really great job you did there. Very impressed. In Australia, we do things a little differently, but I love those steel brackets. Usually, we notch out the posts and insert the beam, which would have been tricky with such a thick beam. Metal brackets definitely have their place there. Nice work.
Great work, I love it I am about to be furloughed next month so I am thinking about building a gazebo in the backyard and I was looking at the Simpson strong ties. The beefy black hardware gives a nice touch and almost industrial. Great work I am inspired.
Audience, Hello Sandy and good afternoon. I'm looking for a good contractor in my area to close in my existing covered patio. I'm have also considered adding a luxury covered patio next to my enclosure. The way you completed yours looks fantastic. I think you built yours right on the bullseye. Kudos on your next upcoming DIY projects.
This is probably now in the top 10 craziest videos I’ve seen on RU-vid till this day. I applaud you for the good creative video you made. How long did it talk you to make this video?
What are your plans for the floor? Extending the slab, demo old slab and pour all new, leaving the slab and installing pavers on top and extending out to the new roof line?
We plan on taking out existing slab and then pouring 2ft x 4ft concrete pavers with an aggregate finish. It has changed a couple of times, but that is what it is for now.
All in All I give you guys a -A, it could have been a A+ had you used a skip loader on the concrete and learned how to use a Circular Saw but, yeah...you guys are Awesome....love the Pup
Can’t really tell in the video but did Simpson mention that the posts should be 3/4” off of the base plate so the posts can dry out ? I really like the design y’all came up with and incorporated it into our 40’ container cabin build we went out 12’ from the box ( container) to the lvl beam which has a 1/2” plate steel sandwiched between the lvl’s to create a flitch beam. So a big shout out to y’all for your diligence in design and want to. Your build really looks terrific.
That looks great I like the style it seems too me that the reason the wood on the front is soo wide is because it has to be and the roof was cut for the same reason too get a little more length thumbs up
Nice job. I am also in the east Valley and would like to have something that can stand up to micro-bursts and monsoon and block the sun. That cross beam looks like it will do the job.
We went with the big beam so that we could span the 30 feet and not have to have posts in the middle of the patio. That way nothing to block the view from inside.
Thank you so much for that wonderful video and information laminated beam I would like to do the same thing to my back porch and be able to put a kitchen outdoor kitchen in it couldn’t figure out how to spend the beam that long without a brace in the middle which I did my instructor view of the pool like yours thanks again
looks great I'm gonna use this a s a guide to put our patio cover on. FYI i notice the link to strongtie in your description is mis-typed and doesn't go to the strong tie website.
Seems good so far! Was easy to talk to about his My Shed Plans [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Guided me in the right direction & helped me understand everything & in the end it was what I wanted
nice patio cover, what made me stop at your vid was the glue lam... I'm trying to span 16ft with only 2 beams... not sure if it will happen. Yes Simpson brackets are the bomb.... great work, looks good
Those post and beams where definitely over kill for a middle class home , also those tiny screws to hold the post and beams together are gonna break easily with the first winds , should of gone with at least 5/8 bolts and nuts with washers to hold those suckers down good cause I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night with using those tiny screws
One of the biggest benefits of going DIY, is so you can save money! Yet, I see a lot of people asking for a rough idea of cost without a reply? Seems like something almost all people watching are curious about... even a ballpark!
bluesti3 I’ve answered several times. Plus I have a blog post with more details. But it is very different for everyone based on where they are located, what kind of construction is allowed where they are, etc. I don’t like to give an estimate to give a false information. The video was more to document our journey and hopefully inspire someone, letting them know you can do hard things if you really want to. 🍊
I cannot, for the life of me, find the brackets that mount the big beam to the posts. I’ve been all over the website! They have the T and L brackets, but those look soooo nicely done
Cover the beam in the front, exposure to water when it rains, will cause separation of the 2 by6 eventually. I know its exterior glue but is will still happen over time. Trim out with some 1 by cedar.
Thanks… hardware is from Simpson Strong Tie. And yes engineer recommended so that we could get the 30’ span. We didn’t want to see the posts from inside the house. 🍊
@@TheAwesomeOrange nice job…I was also wondering about the size of that beam ….I have four posts over the same span….I told my wife the cost of a single beam and she said to me ….“ I want four posts so I can see them from inside” ….
@@erlpen2016 We needed the 18" glulam because we wanted the 30" span. If you want your posts closer together than I am sure you can get away with a smaller glulam. But I would recommend checking with a structural engineer.
