4x4 dressed wood is 3.5" so fits inside bracket without shaving or pounding. Other 4x4 needs thorough drying first, also prevents problems but drying can take 3 weeks plus. Hope that helps others, thanks for sharing your experience. Looks great!
Thank you so much for this video! We were about to buy another cheap sun umbrella but luckily found this! Looks like I have to invite the men in the family for a project very soon!
I am going to look like this guy in the video if I decided to tackle on this project. Other than my wife, I don’t have any extra hands. Thank you for sharing!
Your welcome! We def recommended for safety issues to have more then one person help for the lofted portion. It’s impossible for just two people to do it. Thank you for watching!
Hi it amazing. Where did you order the connectors, the black mettal came in the boxes? Also do the curtain/roof, can be odered through same company? Thx
What are the materials actually used? You only list only a couple. Be nice if in the listing it included where to get the pergola brackets from. Maybe I'm missing it. But your patio look awesome
I believe I did say it, the brackets are part of the kit that you would buy from Toja grid. Only thing we needed to buy to make it is the wood. Everything else comes in the kit as far as building it. We stained the wood so we needed that. As far as tools you can see that all in the video. Thank you for watching!!
Yes we do store it for the winter and yes it is waterproof. When we know we are getting a storm we remove it just to be safe but it has gotten rained on many times and it’s held up nicely. Thank you for watching!!
We don’t put them away and they are good it’s been two years now. We do put the cushions away but I also sprayed them with water resistant spray in case we don’t put them away quick enough.
Its holding up great, we haven’t had any issues. The screen on top isn’t meant for rain it’s just for shade, so rain does come through it. Thank you for watching!
Hi - Quick question with regards to the pavers - did you attach the feet of the posts to the pavers - and if so - what did you use? Did you drill into the pavers > or did you remove the pavers and put down concrete?
We did two things to secure it. First we anchored the pergola to the deck by drilling the sides of post into the pergola. Second, we drilled the feet of the posts into the pavers by using tapcon screws.
It only prevents sun. The rain will go through the top sail. If you want to check their website I believe they were coming out with a kit that would prevent rain or perhaps a gazebo style from somewhere would be best for that.
@@jojobelashares thanks for the fast reply. They have their grid 30 style but I emailed them and said they don’t have anything that would work with this style. I really want the pergola so maybe I’ll try to find a different shade that blocks water as well then.
@@bradracine3426 yea I’m sure it’s because it’s a flat top as opposed to a triangle one. Hope you can find something! Thank you for watching and the support!
@@kaveethhiyarapitiya4813 we put the cushions away but I spray them with a water resistant spray in case we don’t store them in time when it rains. The furniture itself is an outdoor furniture so they are fine.
Does it shake? I saw another video saying shake a little, up to 4 inch at the very top if you apply some pressure to it. 4:10 mark on the video below. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jzkiJrKLp7o.html
I only have one Instagram, jojo_bela_shares, I had to get rid of the other one and now focusing on this one, maybe try that out. Thank you for watching!!
Although you say that someone should have 5-6 people to help erect the pergola, I think you're grossly underestimating the actual number of people that are required. If you pay very close attention to the video, at minute 4:56, you'll see a streak of pink that comes shooting across screen from the right. In the next few scenes that flash of pink slows down enough to see that the flash is actually your project manager, and your PM has the strength of your so-called 5 or 6 helpers
