Thank you for showing this to us viewers. Very simple to make and STURDY! Instead of using one of those cheap, plastic types that are sold at Walmart and Home Depot type stores! 😊
Thank you for posting this and explaining what you're doing so everyone can understand. First video I've seen that I think I can do. The rain is destroying the wood on my back patio.
Thanks Lisa for your nice compliment! I feel the same way that you do. I often watch other videos trying to do projects and they are phenomenal but I think, that's way above my level or sometimes they use tools that I can't afford so I strive to do projects that are simple and that even an idiot, like myself can figure out! 😂 God bless you!
Thanks so much for this video! I am trying to make an awning in the back of my house to keep the rain away from the foundation but also to screen in it for a little refuge from the bugs if I want to hang out with the dogs in the backyard! I'm going to use your method, I'm very much a beginner, but you make it look very easy! :)
Thanks Jude! Glad that it helped! Have a blessed day! Thanks for subscribing as well! I just made another video recently about a different type of awning and will be posting it hopefully in the next few days. Cheers!
Loved this tutorial. Thanks! I'm in the california mountains. When the wind and rain start kicking off--- we just suffer through it. This is definitely a priority project!
Thank you so much !! I was searching on how to do this myself after I saw the prices to buy one !!! Hopefully I can come close to your example for my chicken coop. I just subscribed to your channel!! God bless you …. Love your animals!!!!!
Thanks Anita! If you want to follow more of our silly adventures, check out our new channel called Corn Fed Life. You can find it as www.cornfedlife.com God bless you too and have fun with your chickens! We moved to the Midwest and had to sell our animals 😥. We really miss them!
I want to thank you for posting this .I'm going to try it. I need to put a storm door on the front of our home that swings out looking for ideas this seems to be the easiest. I'll get back to you later and I'll take some pics of it and show you.but thank you God bless and happy New and healthy Year stay safe.
Sounds great Charles! Thanks for your kind words! Best of luck with your project and we would love to see pics of how it turns out! You can always email us at countrycitymedia@gmail.com God bless and happy new year!
Glad I found your video. This is exactly what I need to do on my side door. Tired of getting wet trying to get into the house! You explained everything well and and all the necessary tools and brackets Glad I learned about those types of nails for the plastic sheets. Wish you would have painted the wood white to match your house trim Greetings from Los Angeles
Howdy Los Angeles! Former Pomona resident turned Kansan here. Miss all the delicious LA food! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for leaving a comment to let us know. God bless!
Thanks again! Thanks for checking out our channel. I actually did another awning with ground support. Check it out ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2jOXjAWqi0s.html
I liked your simple & easy & saving $ . I liked your animals , too . It is a simple life , peacefull & quiet . Where is country side ? If you don’t mind .
Stumbled upon your channel and I like it. Great projects to get ideas from and love the animals. Going to use this idea to build one over my shed door. Thanks for the simple and easy to follow instructions. Subscribed too.
Thanks Rod! We really appreciate it! We're just normal folks specializing in doing simple projects that anyone can do! We're always happy to get kind feedback and appreciate you subscribing! I'm glad you like the animals! They're a sweet bunch and we are planning to start a hobby farm channel soon to show them off a bit more. 😁 God bless!
I don't know what the experts would say, but typically I only use treated lumber for applications that will likely have standing water on them during rainy season.
I built a shed with these plans from Ryan [ Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ] . The instructions were clear and easy to implement. Even a novice can be able to build fast using this plan. I'm happy I bought the plan. It also saved me much cost.
i actually need this for TWO different doors - reg. backdoor but also a *double* door on a shed........... could i just double the materials and have an extra crossbeam? (the thick ones i mean) thx
Oh my goodness Captain America. Thank you for the tips. Will you pass on greetings to your Wife, Gladys, Minnie and Ben and Nibbles. (Only ones I have met so far) Your videos are very informative and endearing. 🙏🙏 From Lawrie in Antigua.
Hi Lawrene. Did you stay at our B&B or how do you know all our critter's names? Also which Antigua do you hail from? Thanks for your kind words and we wish you a happy and prosperous 2022! God bless!
Hello Dear Family. My husband and I have lived outside the US for the last 12 years. Mostly in Asia. Have had to do our own home improvements where ever we live. 3 years here on the island of Antigua in the West Indies because of his work. I just googled how to make an awning for my tiny bungalow because I want one , and there you were. I’m 64 years old and not afraid of a saw , a ladder, or a drill. Haha so to motivate my husband I get everything set up and he freaks out when I start the saw and after months of begging my DIY projects get done. The first video I saw you talked to all your pets and I just remembered their names. Warmed my ❤️
That's so awesome! Thanks for sharing a bit about your life! It sounds exciting! I would love to hear all about your story. For several years we ran a bed and breakfast in our home so I thought maybe you were one of our former guests since you knew the animals names. I love the fact that you watched other videos and gathered all of their names. Unfortunately we ended up selling our place in the Pacific Northwest and had to sell all of our critters as well except for Monsieur Nibbles IV (the cat) and Higgins (the dog). We moved out to Kansas back in May and just a few days ago we moved again (still within Kansas) into our special little Home on the Prairie. If you are at all interested in our adventures in the Midwest you might like to follow our new channel which is called Corn Fed Life. We are definitely inspired that at your age you are still doing lots of DIY projects while living abroad! We hope you'll keep in touch!
Hi Dan. Since the wood is covered by the plastic I figure it should last pretty long. Using treated wood or painting it would definitely be a good idea! Thanks for watching and God bless!
Depends, If you want it to stick out 8' from the home I'd recommend posts from the frame to the ground to secure it rather than braces to the to the side of the house. If it is going to extend only 4' out from the house then another brace from the extended frame horizontally should do the trick. Thanks for watching!
I've always tried to figure out how to build a shed for my kids. I tried several plans but always got stuck along the way. I'm glad I found this Ryan's shed plans [ Go Here >>> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. It has made the work become as easy and simple as I never thought it will be. Thank you Ryan!?
Hello, Im trying to gather all wood material for my project. Mine will be somewhat similar to yours. Mine will be a 4x9 covering on my back porch. I'm looking to building a pergola using (5) 2x4 rafters as you did and (3-4) 1x4 crossbeams. However, I believe there will be a bit overkill. I was thinking of using 2x2 rafters and 1x2 crossbeams using the same roof paneling you 'd used in this video. Is that polycarbonate you'd used for your roof panel? So Im not sure to build a pergola or an awning, what do you think?
Hey Angelo. I can't remember what the roofing was exactly, some sort of plastic from Lowe's. It's hard to say whether a pergola or awning would be better without seeing your doorway. On this same channel I have several videos of different styles of awnings and one that has pillars sort of like a pergola. I'd suggest watching some more videos or even doing a Google image search and see all the different options out there. Best of luck with your project. God bless!
Oh man! I hate stucco! I used to have that at one of my old places. I used to just try to find a stud underneath to anchor to I wouldn't trust stucco for anything. Maybe if you look on RU-vid you'll find some tips on doing that. Best of luck! Have a blessed day.
I'm not sure long-term as we sold this place but I think it did hold up through a full winter. Of course this was in Roseburg Oregon where we typically don't get too much snow.
Thanks for your kind words! I wish I could give those beautiful critters some extra hay but sadly we moved out of state and had to sell them. 😥 They did all go to the same farm though, so we were happy they got to stay together! Have a blessed day!
I didn't, but I usually screw into studs. There should never be screws on the outside edge of studs. Also, I like for my guardian angel to keep busy! 😁
Hi Renee. I don't know what the brackets are called but I got them at Lowe's. If you show them a pic from this video I'm sure they can find them for you.
Hi Gal! 'm pretty sure I got them at Lowe's. That's where I bought about most all of my supplies when I lived in Oregon. Thanks for watching! Best of luck with your project. God bless!
Hi Betsy, yes I'm pretty sure you are correct. I re-watched the video and I'm pretty sure those are 2x2s. Sorry about them being so expensive. Isn't everything nowadays? God bless!
Hi Jessi! Personally I wouldn't build one that extended out that far without some sort of additional support, but what do I know I'm just some random guy making videos on RU-vid. 😛 Ask around and maybe check your local city codes and see what they suggest. God bless!
Almost everything is done wrong in this video. You should have a licensed contractor, or at least someone with some knowledge about construction, look at it and help you out.
Got some weaknesses in design and fabrication, but nothing critical. The only thing I really didn't like is angling the left end of a board on the right side of the blade: because the right hand works the saw, the left arm was required to cross very near in front of the blade - eliminated by flipping the board to the left side.
I suppose you're referring to the saw that I picked up at a garage sale for probably $40 or $50. Most of the tools I use are well under $100. I guess if someone is still using sticks and rocks like a caveman from the Stone age then these tools could be considered fancy. 😂
