How to build a pergola and decking step by step 

Excellent video! Just the method I've been looking for. Really useful. I'm going to have a go at this in my garden. Hope I can get in touch for your carpentry services if I need an extra hand!

Just started watching your channel TJ and all your work looks fantastic and very professional

That's really smart lads.. Fantastic job

Brilliantly done ❤

Hey mate, gained a follower after this. Exactly what I was looking for. Is the rafters and the floor brace 6x2 timbers. Just got my first pergola build

these videos are great! thanks for making them. really enjoyed it.

Beautifully done.

Looks great, awesome job!

Looks fantastic ❤

Good job guys everything looks clean and exact

Nice job as always 🎉

Top class work mate love how you take your time with things and do it properly even going the extra mile and treating the end cuts good preparation and perfectly executed job watched a few of your videos now and am thoroughly enjoying them Iam a time served joiner myself however I've been doing roofing for the last 17 years and now and run a small roofing company really enjoy watching other tradesmen that do good work and have a passion for there work keep up the great content mate just subscribed 👌

Good job lads.

Cracking work!

Nice job , I’m going to copy it 🎉

That’s smart asf, you lads did a cracking job on that

this looks great!

Looks great!!! Well done gentlemen 👍

Another tip pal don't measure nogs separately if you put your joists at 400mm they should all be the same distance apart normally last one will be different tho but take the distance from the fixed end. Keep up the good work tho lads only trying to help you out. 👍

Beautiful design guys. Nice tool inventory!

Eye-catching Work. Nice job 👍 What Timber did you use to create the privacy screens? is it treated or cedar? looks great

most people leave out the part with the cement but some people are dumb like that and its always best to have everything u need when ur working but always cement stuff like decking and poles stuff like that in just in case the wind or something pulls it out and away

Looks 👌

That's gangsta AF. Nicely done.

Awesome work. But i would say the wooden posts will rot and replacing them will be a huge expensive job. You can get steel/metal anchor/brackets that go into the ground , then the wooden posts are bolted into them.

I built my pergola 7 years ago - same method . Some decking boards showing slight rot at the ends even after pre treating . Not too sure how long the thin strips of the roof will last though on yours . Must be a bugger to maintain ? I'm also a Dewalt guy . The 850 is a beast .

Great video 👍👍 how is the flexvolt chopsaw and table saw ? Flexvolt circular saw is my next purchase as I have used it and it is amazing. Unsure how the chop saw/table saw would hold up though in terms of battery life ?

Looks nice lads but I’d worry about it bouncing in the middle I’ve done quite a bit of decking and all ways concrete post posts on every or every other joist it looks to me like that will sag very quick but yeah it does look smart

Do you have any content showing how to set your 4 posts? Making sure they're set in the right spot?

that tree stump is an eyesore beside the nice pergola.

Ttfdowg it would be really good if u do more of vlog style videos and also vids like showing how u started up wat struggles u went through kind of like ur journey thus far also a van tour etc

just an FYI, Nails provide more shear strength that screws; but doing both is the best!

No posts for the decking joists? Won't it sink?

Great job man. Is the roof slanted slightly for the rain water?

Did you bitumen the post below ground. ?

Hi there, any chance you can share the sizes of the timber you used? ( Post, roof braces) thanks

Can bitumen be used on decking boarda

What sort of timber did you you cut down to width for the sides and roof(cladding)?? Looks nice mate

What finish/paint did you use on the decking?

Hey what table saw is that and does it run on batteries?

Nice work lads. That toolbelt looks handy, be careful though, that hammer could give you a nasty suprise if you sat down too quickly..lol! Keep up the good work.😊

Just a tip for the next job mate any joists or rafters should always be crowned up ⬆️

Hi, would it be better to cover the whole membrane with gravel instead of little patch of sand?

What's the size of the roof joists?

How much would that cost ? Im considering getting one done

The battens on the slatted screen are not all straight. Some are even touching.

How much to you cgarge to build

How much did you charge for that?

Just line the top up

Couple more stumps wouldn’t have hurt, can see some sag coming

Membrane pegs dude ......🤔sand wtf

I hate doing decking

Posts will be rotted out w/in 5 years
