Dude, you got some skills! Well done sir!!

You've got a nice job on this! I appreciate your effort just to make us learn from your skills. Keep up inspiring people. Glad to share this post to all of my best buddies. Great details!

Talented and generous with sharing his knowledge. Thanks mate 👍👌

Stan, you are definitely the man !!!!!

My husband used this video design and it was fantastic...he made 3 of them and he wasn't a builder...thanks very much for doing the video!

Excellent, clear and concise. Nice one.

Great video! Thanks for shearing it. Made me want to make one pergola for myself!

Great detailed video.Thank You.

Not gonna watch the Aussie Mitre 10 vids anymore, landed here by mistake. The Kiwi videos are heaps better and easier to understand. This Aussie bloke is well impressed. Go NZ!!!

Awesome!!! Thanks for the lesson!

I like how you did the string line method keeping it out of the way of your work area. Great job my friend 🙏

This guy does a GREAT job and IMHO this is one of the best tutorials I have seen...GREAT JOB !!!! Thank You !!!!

This is a great video, thanks for sharing

Great videos on how to. Brilliant.

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. NICE AND EASY METHOD TO BUILD, UNDERSTAND.

Those stringlines are to die for..good job sir

Nice work and well done

You make that look easy. Looks good.

This guy knows what he's doing! Pro :)

Great video, London

Great job! Well explained, a howdy from Texas.

Holy moly... That is lot of info.. thanks man... Keep sharing🤗

Hi Karrina, If you wanted to put posts in your planter boxes to hold a pergola you would need a lot of concrete in the bottom of them, at least 450mm deep, so that would make your planters very high. You would also need to have drain holes through the concrete to allow water to escape, so all in all you could but it would look a little strange. It would be best to concrete posts into the ground the build your planters around the posts. Hope that helps. SR

Great job mate!!!

Good stuff. Very helpful.

Outstanding work and some of the best video details I have seen.

I'm trying to build one for my backyard thanks for the video

Excellent. Thank you very much.

He made this so simple! all other videos try to make things to complicated. Great job!

Nice work and nice video. Both like a pro 👍

Thank you, So much.

Respect - I am enamored by his talent. He makes it look so easy - just wish it was really that easy!

Cool video!

Good job

Thanks for the video

Thank for the video made my life much easier...

I like your tutorial,✋to the point. Great

Nice one, thanks.

This is the best DIY video I've seen!

Good work mate

Great job

Good Job well done. Might suggest filling the post hole concrete approx 2 in. above grade (using sono-tube collars for trim). Purpose of this is to allow water runoff and prevent pooling and rot of the uprights over time.

great video

greagt vid mate,really enjoyed. ....might have a go myself,subscribed

Thank you this was very helpful for my build.

Some men are so talented with a measuring tape all they need is a single blade of grass to run accurate measurements!

Wow! He’s such a pro! 👏💥💯

Seems rather simple I love it, I'd love to make one of these :D

This guy makes it look so easy.

Good work thanks

Damn so effortless great job

Nice job. Using your instructions to build one.

Excellent

Well done 👍

This bloke can do anything !

I heard his voice and automatically thought Flight of the Concords. 🤣 Great video! He makes it look easy.

Good job!👍👍

I did it. I built this pergola. Thanks for the video.

Looks awesome!! You had lost me at "Profiles with strangling", then lost me with that chainsaw action. I'm not a professiona You did a great job.

Is there a material list for this? Any plans? That would be very helpful.

Wow...this was easy and excellent

Hi there, thanks for the great video! I just wondered something, I want to build timber planter boxes, can I pour concrete in the bottom of them and add posts to build a pergola from there?

Thanks man!

Very good video actually amazing the way you work your self so easily . Thanks for your time my friend keep uploading videos.

Great video, il sit back and watch the guy next week from the sofa 👍🤪

Excellent job! I wander whether the posts -size- are too flexible transversally. Thanks a lot

That looked easy 👍

very nays easy project thanks for u job

well done................. thanks!

Thank you ☺️

Got build a pergola like that thanks for the video..

Wow Half of New Zealand wants to know how to build a pergola... Fair enough 😂

What is this guy hooking his tape measure too in the grass? This guy is magic.

Fantastic video. Excellent demonstration with great detail and visuals. By the way, as a Bostonian, I loved the accent. :)

It's been long since i saw someone on youtube use a real hammer 🔨

Thankyou for the video. All my neigbord make a gazebo on his Lands, I want a big pérgola to have different garden. Thankyou one more time, thank to you I have a different dream.

I've got a build to do like this, but it's not on grass. It's on tarmark. We're using metal fence post holders, what would be the best way to make sure they do not break free of thier holdings in strong wind? (They will be bolted in place.)

great job! make sure you figure out your exposure before building pergola. important to know your sunset/sunrise to make pergola effective. otherwise its just a nice looking lawn decoration...

Excellent 👌.🇬🇾
