If you want to build an easy pergola, look no further than this awesome diy pergola kit by Outmos. They have instructions on how to build a pergola / arbor / patio cover. Building a pergola is very easy with the steel feet and corner brackets along with rafter supports. Pergola construction doesn't have to be hard if you follow these step by step assembly instructions. I built my pergola with a roof made out of sheet metal.

Did you include any slope on the pergola to direct your rain water? Looks beautiful! Nice job.

@NicoleHerrickDIY 11 дней назад

Thank you! Great question so I did plan the back two concrete footings to be slightly lower than the front BUT it turned out completely level anyway. I did wonder half way through if I should have built an extra triangular structure on each side for rafters and roof to sit on but I was already half way through the project and decided not to. The water does flow off the back but some does sit there for a while. I’d recommend adding triangles. Sorry I can’t remember the correct term for the triangles 🤣🤦‍♀️ I’m actually going to see if I can lift the two front legs a little and screw them in higher at the base to add some angle.

@Anonimowy_Jutuber День назад

Beautiful structure (wood and black elements) with a shoddy, unsightly tin roof that killed the good final effect.

@NicoleHerrickDIY 22 часа назад

Thank you. What kind of roof you would add to be beautiful?

@fredericguyon1449 12 дней назад

Nice build but ì hope it dies nor rain too much and too heavily as a drain would normally be needed when having a covered roof

@NicoleHerrickDIY 12 дней назад

Thank you. Most of the water drains off one edge into the garden.

@FixitFingers 6 месяцев назад

Great upgrade from the shade cloth Nic! Is there any slope on the roof to the back? I don't need a pegola but I do need to add some concrete footings soon so that part was super helpful. Cheers!

@NicoleHerrickDIY 6 месяцев назад

Thanks so much Fingers! This doesn't have a slope but it's really simple to add a couple of extra angled timber beams on each side then attach the rafter supports to these instead. Because mine is so small, i decided just to cap the front end with foam infill strips and let the rain drain off the back end into the garden.

@kaushikmistry7406 11 дней назад

Great project. I do have a question, was the pergola completly Level, or did you have it at a slight angle for water run off.

@NicoleHerrickDIY 11 дней назад

Actually I have been thinking of perhaps lifting the two front legs up a little in the metal bracket and screwing them in a bit higher. Might see if that helps. There’s a slight amount of play to lift but with the top angles being 90 degrees, not a huge amount.

@TheGinnydave Месяц назад

Great job! Can i ask how deep the footings need to be? Thanks!

@NicoleHerrickDIY Месяц назад

I made mine approx 40cm deep but it just depends on how much overall weight your pergola will be.

@Burritosarebetterthantacos Месяц назад

Hope you dont live in an area with snow. I did a similar project with Toja Grid and my brackets failed. When I spoke with the company, they said it wasn’t rated for a roof application. Have a structural engineer explain to you what a foot of snow load is and you will realize that thin metal can’t hold it.

@NicoleHerrickDIY Месяц назад

Oh interesting! No we don’t get snow in the majority of Australia where I bought the kit for this build. Good to know though, thank you. 🙏

@user-jv4fd1co8x 18 дней назад

My dad was a builder, and snow load was always a consideration. I grew up in Canada, lots of snow. I married an American and made my home in Arizona, then Florida, but Dad always considered snow load anyway, lol.

@hlkn333 16 дней назад

I wonder whether the roof might need to have a slight angle so that the water can flow from the stop edge to the other side into the garden. What is your thought?

@NicoleHerrickDIY 16 дней назад

Yes, I did consider adding a some angled beams up top which the rafters could sit on, but I was almost finished when I realised this and decided against it. I think it’s definitely a better idea to do that though.

@leelunk8235 6 дней назад

THE MOULDING CUPPING IS FINE, HOWEVER, THAT LONG STRIP ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS OVERKILL, YOU NEED RAINWATER TO DRAIN FROM BOTH SIDES, IN CLOSING OFF ONE SIDE , YOU PLACED A BARACADE ON THE DRAINING OF THAT WATER, IT'S FLAT HORIZONTAL ROOF, SO THAT'S NOT GOOD

@NicoleHerrickDIY 6 дней назад

Yes I agree, I had tried to leave the back footings a little lower so that it gave some slope but it ended up being very level. What I should have done is added some angles to each side to sit the rafters and roof on. What I’m going to do is unscrew the timber where the front feet are and lift it as I as I can as there is a little bit of play there. Hopefully that will give enough slope. I think the instructions that came with the kit were designed for a mesh roof which wouldn’t need a slope so I failed to consider that. I do like your thought of not enclosing the front edge though. If I can’t lift the front legs enough, I might have to do that. Thank you!

@leelunk8235 6 дней назад

@@NicoleHerrickDIY I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE THE RAFTORS AS THEY ARE, OPEN THE ONE SIDE TO MATCH THE OTHER SIDE THAT'S OPEN AND MAYBE PUT A NICE TRIM ON BOTH SIDES SO THAT IT WILL LOOK MORE COSMETICALLY PLEASING, THEN WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE RAINWATER DOES, IF IT DRAINS FROM BOTH SIDES, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. HORIZONTAL ROOF LOOKS GOOD BUT THE DRAINING HAS TO BE RIGHT

@rayalliston7702 12 дней назад

@rayalliston7702 11 дней назад

those type of pergolas are designed for either adjustable slats with in built guttering or what you have done, the open rafters but with no roof. Because the bracket system is strictly 90 deg its impossible to get any type of fall.

@NicoleHerrickDIY 11 дней назад

@@rayalliston7702 but you can add your own angled side pieces above the 90 degree connectors to add fall.

Is it strong enough without attaching to the wall? Only attachment is on the floor.

Yes it’s definitely strong enough without attaching to the wall. These are designed to not be attached to any walls.

I may have missed it… But what happens if it rains heavily is there a place where the rain runs off??

Hey there, would you mind sharing total cost of the build including the kit, timber, concrete etc?

@NicoleHerrickDIY 5 месяцев назад

Sure thing. I spent approx $1850 all up. $850 for the pergola brackets kit, $1,000 for the timber, roofing, cement and sundries.

@yaboiieeeman6442 Месяц назад

Hello, I would highly recommend for you to shop piece by piece for the brackets at Home Depot and if not Amazon has the kit for 200$ on lumber you are looking at 350$ I spent 527$ today on the exact same thing just not the roofing equipment

@pulsedream 18 дней назад

how does the rain water goes to one side?

@NicoleHerrickDIY 17 дней назад

So the metal roof has ridges along it that stop it going over the sides. I capped one end so the only place for it to run is off the back end and into my garden. Make sense?
