10' x 12' custom steel gazebo with sheet metal roofing. TIG welded, sanded, and powder coated for a seamless, designer look. It bolts together so it isn't bound to one place.
I love it. I want to make a 2 story Gazebo/Pergola like that one to have friends visit with their teen kids... so they could hang out in the bottom part and the grown ups at the 2nd floor or viceversa. this idea of yours is perfect for that project.
Thanks. Definitely not the most practical method for a large structure like this but if you're gonna grind a weld down for a seamless look you definitely want it to be TIG.
very nice tig skills ... i always opt for stick on structural elements like the feet ... not out of laziness, but out of fear that the penetration may just be insufficient with the tig ... is my thinking wrong on this ?
Amazing work. How many hours would you guess that took you to make? And what would you guess was the heaviest piece? (guessing you need at least 2 people to put it together, but was each piece that you were working with under 100 lbs?)
Thank you! I'd say 100 hours - there was a bit of trial and error and plenty of time spent brainstorming. If I made it again and just hustled through it, I bet I could do it in 40 hours
Thanks! There are a bunch of different places in OC/LA area that have racks and ovens big enough. Each piece of the frame was powder coated separately so they really didn't take up that much space in the oven. I got this done at A & I Powder Coating in Fullerton, CA
Skills, experience, and tools make this look far too easy. What was the material cost? I am about to make a 24 x 16 of one like this, but for my cars. :)
Nice video buddy! I have a few questions, would appreciate if you can help me out. 1.-What is the roof made of? Is that the same roof that third world countries use to roof their houses? Is it galvanized stainless steel? 2.-How resistant is it over time in the presence of all-year sun and sporadic rains? 3.-What metal gauge do you recommend if I´m going to use it in my patio for my home gym? The area I´ll cover will be 49 squared feet Thanks in advance!
Why would you assume my political position!? Jk - the video must be mirrored because I'm actually a righty. I haven't kept up with steel prices but I bought all of the material in May of 2021 and steel was at an all-time high. For all of the tubing it was $1000 and then an additional $300 for the sheet metal roofing. Powder coating was $750 (ouch) but it's super durable (double coated actually, first with a zinc primer and then with the oil bronze color) and it saved me the hassle of painting it myself (I hate painting).
Holy crap that's way over engineered. Is that 1/4 or 3/8" tubing? 16g would been more then enough for a non snow load lean-to roof. I built a cantilever version of what you did with two support legs on an 8x12' slant 3/12 roof over my outdoor kitchen in Minnesota... It's survived 3 winters and 2 summers already, along with a 30ft oak tree branch that had to of been close to 1000 lbs (8"dia at one end) that fell against the roof in winter when their was already 8" of wet snow and ice on the roof. I used 1/4" 3x3" square tubing for the cantilever and roof support and like you a 1/8" web for the roof metal frame. I've had
This is way over kill for such a small install. 76x38x1.6mm Galvtube with PT clips is all you need for domestic jobs. Space the ''battons'' to suit your sheeting specs, usually 900mm to 1200mm depending on profile being used. In Oz that welded job would be cyclone rated!!
Cyclone-rated is what I was going for haha. I wanted to make it "future proof" and part of that includes potentially disassembling it and hauling it to a different part of the United States where there might be high winds or other inclement weather.
