We spent about $250 on this. That’s only 12 Yankee candles or 50 Starbucks coffees. Wow, isn’t that amazing haha.
Seriously though, thank you for swinging by and we hope to see you around in that next video!
List of materials:
2 - 6x6x10
2 - 2x8x16
4 - 2x6x10

@shawndenty6038 3 года назад

I love this idea and have a vacant corner next to the deck. I also have 3 kids and I know I should have at least two hammocks to save my sanity! How would you change this to a corner pergola, using two hammocks, one in each direction? Have you thought of doing this for yourselves? Awesome tunes, love the tropical house vibes...always need more of that with pina coladas!

@BrocAndAimee 3 года назад

Hi Shawn! Thank you so much! That sounds like a perfect idea! The posts would essentially be the same, just each hammock sharing the rear corner post. The support beams would have to be attached differently to the rear corner post, but they have lots of specialty pergola brackets at most hardware stores that you could look at. For the top though you could either extend the rafters to make the structure a triangle (with the front rafters longer and progressively getting shorter) or you could just mirror the two and give each arm of the hammock pergola their own rafters. I hope this makes sense, let us know if you have any other questions!

@LetsWingItDIY This project looks awesome - great job! I do have a couple of questions though.. How wide are the rafter beams?

@BrocAndAimee 4 года назад

Thank you! The top rafters are 2x6 cut to 32" long. We have our posts 60" from the fence, we have a two person hammock and wanted plenty of room for the hammock to swing. I think you could get away with 48" or even less depending on the width of your hammock

@BrocAndAimee 4 года назад

Haha now worries, and that is so cool that you guys built one! Did you use the same dimensions or did you do something different??

@BrocAndAimee 4 года назад

And it is easier using 4" screws screwed in at an angle than notching each board

@thomasschafer7268 4 года назад

From germany. Wood in concrete no go. 3-5 Jears and it starts to get dammage.

@BrocAndAimee 4 года назад

Hi Thomas! There is always a risk of wood rotting over time. We treated the boards to resist rot and had a 4" gravel bed at the base of the posts to help with drainage. The top of the concrete slopes away from the posts to assist with the drainage as well. We also live in California where rain is minimal so we are hopeful the posts will last a long time 😊

@mcbrida 4 года назад

Great video! How did you ensure that the two posts were at the same elevation on top? (level with each other)

@BrocAndAimee 4 года назад

Hi Andrew! We did our best to make the holes the same depth. Once the concrete was set we placed a level on the 2x8x16 support beam and checked the level between two posts. (We got lucky that ours turned out to be level). But once you check level you would mark which beam is taller and use a saw to cut that once down to make it level with the shorter one. We hope that makes sense, please let us know if that answers your question. We can email you a picture if you want. 👍

@thelittleredbarn174 3 года назад

May I ask how long were your main posts including what you buried? As I'm thinking of repurposing an old swing set with 10 foot posts I'm wondering if will be long enough or if the header would be too low by the time I bury them? Thanks

@BrocAndAimee 3 года назад

We used 10ft 6x6 posts, then buried them 2ft deep, so final height of 8ft was perfect. Hope this helps!

@completelawn5309 3 года назад

Hey folks. Just checking up on the concrete you guys did for the post. Is it still holding up good? I want to build one next week but I’ve seen like the foam stuff u can get to. Don’t know which one is good! Thanks guys

@BrocAndAimee 3 года назад

Hi Chris, it's been over a year and the posts are holding up great! We wouldn't recommend using the foam just because it's not recommended for any type of structural posts, and the weight of a person in the hammock would cause some significant strain on the foam. Let us know if you have any other questions!

@completelawn5309 3 года назад

Hey again!! What were the measurements for the rafters? Every 16”?

@BrocAndAimee 3 года назад

We separated our rafters every 12" on center, but you can do whatever spacing looks best to you!

@kabullard10 2 года назад

how long are your short boards going across the top of the pergola? how far apart are your main posts?

@BrocAndAimee Год назад

The distance we did was 14ft on the main posts, and the short boards are 2ft. The distance on the main posts depends on the hammock length :)

I was going to cut at 32 as you mentioned, but that would leave a 24 inch scrap piece and you wouldn’t be able to get 15 rafters out of 4 2x6s.

How far a part are the poles

@BrocAndAimee 3 года назад

We spaced them 14ft apart for our 12ft hammock

How high did you put the hammock hooks?

@BrocAndAimee 9 дней назад

I am so sorry for the HUGE delay. I was deployed for the last 10 months. If it still even matters to you, the height of the hooks was 48”.

What’s the distance between the two poles?

@stephentruitt1840 Год назад

They said 14 ft with a 12 ft hammock

How much did this project cost? Including the lumber, quickcrete, and bolts? (Cost to build excluding power tools used) Thanks!

@BrocAndAimee 4 года назад

Everything in total was about $250 (technically $257.49). And yes! It could definitely be made with 4x4s. The 6x6s were the highest cost items, but we splurged on them. If you use 4x4s you could downsize the support beams to 1x6s (we used 1x8s) and then make the rafters 1x4s (instead of 1x6s). Just so it's not too top heavy. Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions!

How long are the rafter pieces? 2 feet?

@BrocAndAimee 9 дней назад

Yes. Also, sorry for the delayed response. I have been deployed.

@@BrocAndAimee all good. I built our hammock based on how y’all did yours. Thanks for the upload to inspire.

Those posts shoulda been pressure treated but great job.

@BrocAndAimee 4 года назад

Thank you! We totally agree, we couldn't find 6"x6"x10' pressure treated in stock anywhere around us

Wouldn’t it be easier to premix the quickcrete in a bucket? Seems easier to me for some reason. 🥴💨✌️✌️

@BrocAndAimee 3 года назад

Haha yes you're right! The directions on the bag say to mix it in the post hole, but we learned the hard way that that's the worst way to do it! 😂 We mix it in a bucket now, MUCH easier.

Nice but really wish you had given us dimensions etc. I’m trying to figure out how deep to dig and how far apart the posts need to be.

@BrocAndAimee 4 года назад

We don't usually give dimensions because everyone's project is different, but the post hole should be 1/4 to 1/3 of the height of the post, deep (ex: a post that has 8ft above ground would need 2ft-2.6ft underground). And the post distance would depend on the size of hammock you are hanging. Ours was 14ft because we have a 12ft hammock . Hope this helps!

Very helpful. Slight typo in the first sentence: The post HOLES should be 1/4 to 1/3 of the post height ...

@BrocAndAimee 4 года назад

mark2talk2u Oh shoot, just updated it! Thanks for noticing.

@mark2talk2u 4 года назад

Yup. I liked the video. Very chill, yet informative.

@aobispo951 4 года назад

@letswingit what's the dimension between the poles and height of hooks.

@BrocAndAimee 4 года назад

The distance between the poles is 14 ft (because the hammock we got was 12 ft), and the height of the hooks was 4 ft 6 in from the ground.

@iamfitniss 3 года назад

Did you need a permit for any of these builds?

@BrocAndAimee 3 года назад

It really depends on where you live. Some places yes and others no. I would google the codes of your area. Hope this helps :)

@kevngu7256 4 года назад

Is it 12” bolt?

@BrocAndAimee 4 года назад

Hi Kev, No we used a 10" galvanized bolt to attach the 2x8s to each 6x6 post

@kevngu7256 4 года назад

Hi just thought 2 plank plus post would equal to 10”.

@BrocAndAimee 4 года назад

Oh yeah that is definitely confusing! Sorry, with lumber, a 6x6 is actually 5.5x5.5 and a 2x8 is actually 1.5x7.5, so the total thickness of all the pieces together is only 8.5"

@kevngu7256 4 года назад

Thanks for explaining.
