Pergolas are all the rage at the moment, as many of us are spending more time in our gardens; the problem is, they can cost an absolute fortune. We tasked Joe with making one himself to see how much it would cost and to decide, ultimately, is building your own DIY pergola worth it? Time, money and effort factored in. We'll let you be the judge.

Great video! What I like the most, is that you cut the wood outside and on your table. I watch other DIY videos by people with a huge warehouse in their garden and every tool available to them. Your video makes me think I can have a go at this myself. Thanks

@richalsop 2 года назад

A very user friendly video isn't it!

@joehuffman7410 2 года назад

Haha exactly... "First you're going to want to find a nice tree in your personal forest and start by cutting it down and running your wood through a plainer.."

@dhdrivingschool Год назад

What equipment is needed for this job , I want to try as well.

@caveymon Год назад

@@dhdrivingschool drill machine, stone drill, plugs, deadbolts fitting with the plugs, a jigsaw and a normal saw or circular saw to top the standing pole. Oh, and something to dig a hole, mix your quick concrete and a hammer and some other small hardware to keep the pole upright whilst the concrete is setting. Pretty minimal, with some basic tools. The jigsaw isn't necessary perse, it is nice for the ornamental cuts, but using some straight angled cuts should work out great too (circular saw, or normal saw)

@nellythree Год назад

Exactly, great comment 😊

@samdub 2 года назад

Great video! This is exactly what budget DIY videos should be, basic tools, a good understanding and one video not 42 parts.

@stevepeacock4265 2 года назад

Wouldn’t quite say a cordless dewalt jigsaw is s basic tool. They start at £200

@samdub 2 года назад

@@stevepeacock4265 just because this jigsaw is £200 doesn’t mean it’s not a basic tool, you can get them for £20 dude.

@fluffy00123x 2 года назад

Subbed because you didn't use too many fancy items and did it like a proper DIY. Thank you so much. Xx

@andrewreardon8093 2 года назад

Many thanks Joe. You are a really good presenter and explain things simply and clear. Just the right balance of letting us see what you are doing but also explaining what you are doing and why. Great stuff and all the best.

@9700am Год назад

Always enjoy watching your videos. Straightforward and simple, no overdone commentary or loud music. Will use this when building mine this Summer. Stay safe and healthy, Joe!

@WhisperingOpinion Год назад

This is an amazing video and exactly what I was looking for. I so appreciate the step-by-step instruction with different angles. This is how to make a diy video. Much appreciated!

@stuartcarson9378 2 года назад

Proper DIY for the masses. Thank you. Gonna have a look at your other videos. Great work.

@anthonytomlinson4470 2 года назад

Just finished this with bamboo rolled on top attached with fence staples. Looks awesome, great video. Used fencing rails for the rafters and would recommend useing planed timber for the post uprights if you can afford it. Used clear silicone round the gaps in the joints etc. This from an amateur diy er 😃

@pineappletop8751 2 года назад

@mamba691 Год назад

Absolutely fantastic video and must say love what you have designed and constructed. Definitely! Cheaper than buying a ready built on which is twice as expensive and still need to assemble. Going to construct mine once the weather has improved within the next couple of months 🙌🏾

@annaworthington4393 2 года назад

Brilliant video. I have a very old conservatory that is beyond repair, I’ve been thinking of replacing with a pergola but was concerned it would be a nightmare to DIY and would have to pay a company to come in. After watching this I think I’ll give it a go.

@billniemann6235 2 года назад

Great video. I am getting ready to build one myself. For 8x8 patio area, I am going to use 6x6x8 for my posts. Then 2×12 ×10 for my beams, but I and double beaming my posts. The 2x6x10 rafters and For the lids 2x2x10 also I am using metal brackets for all corners and fasteners. I feel it will be better against the elements with this type of support.

@marcuswall3857 2 года назад

@jonsmith1725 2 года назад

This video was great, I love how you demonstrated everything clearly without complicating for the novice diy person. I used your help and just finished building my own in 2 days! One question, I’d like to secure the cross beams as they’re not all tight, what would you suggest for this and how please? Once again thanks for all the help with this video.

@anthonytomlinson4470 2 года назад

If there’s gaps I’d use wood filler then you can get 4 inch hex head screws (coated for outdoor use) to hold it

@mattwright2964 Год назад

V good video. I built one of these years ago and grew climbing plants on it. Only thing was if you sat under it in rain it was wet so we added some clear top panels to provide some cover. That worked well but you had to maintain them regularly. I'm in another house now and planning building one and fixing a pull out awning on one side. That will neatly hide away when it's dry but allow it to be covered if it's raining but warm. We are going to put a table and chairs under it.

@tarmactrailandtrack 2 месяца назад

Good to hear a local voice on YT! Its a good design that is easy on the eye. I am going to do one myself but i will be adding glazing bars on it so it can be used all year round!

Great job, it looks so simple in your hands. That's very inspiring for my own construction, on mine I'd like to have 5% slope so the cutting of notches will be a little bit more difficult.

@glenn20081965 2 года назад

I used fence post brackets to secure mine to the ground. You can buy some really fancy ones that hold very firm and it makes it easier to remove and saw if needed.

@WatchShareSave 2 года назад

Thats a great idea Glenn! Much quicker and easier to fit and easier to remove later if need be too :) Joe

You make it look so easy. I was planning to build a pergola but timber price has sky rocketed. If the timber merchant sees there sales drop, maybe they will drop the price to clear the existing stock. Not sure how it works but I'll wait. Great video 👍

@douglasalexander4348 2 года назад

Where the wood has been cut for notches, it’s good to brush on some preservative. Nice and simple instructions, great 👍

@WatchShareSave 2 года назад

Would definitely help! We ended up painting the structure with wood preserver afterwards but adding some to the joints before hand would have been the best bet for sure 😊 Joe
