is it CHEAPER to buy a PERGOLA or to BUILD one DIY style? 

You have taken this thing to a whole other level with the deck AND pergola. Love this -- Thanks for sharing!! 💚

I totally agree about HOA, had some issues as well. We ended up moving and four years later we found house without one. One thing that could change it is to run for the board.

Gardens looking great with that pergola up. Hope you have a great summer.

This is exactly the video i was looking for, was either thinking of building my own pergola or purchasing one. Thank you for answering this for me and i would love a link to this pergola. Thank you

Just got here from ur facebook page after watching ur deck build... i subscribed and clicked the notifications really fast lol... love your work Donnie, really impressed by ur story telling with your builds... your videos are really entertaining, i am learning so much from u... its like im listening to an audio book 😂😂... thank you for sharing all your builds!

So Im a VP of a HOA. But first, that pergola/deck situation is 🔥 and now I want to do it. Back to the HOA part, yes to all of that. Everyone of us that are on our board are younger, diverse, and it's our community's first board. The president and I are big on nuance. Some of the rules made 0 sense to us, and since I oversee the ARC committee, we allow things that we know a more "traditional" board probably wouldn't. Like you said, boards help keep things from looking bad, which keeps prop values up and can even limit neighbor issues, but I think boards often overstep. People should be able to enjoy the homes and properties they work hard for. I should start a HOA page lol

Beautiful pergola, Donnie! Fantastic choice!!! And fantastic work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Problem is you asked them first. It's like them telling me I can't cut a tree down in my front yard. Well guess what the tree got cut down. Most HOA's aren't going to take you to court over staining a fence. Most don't even have the money to do so. They're usually people with power trips that enjoying saying no or fighting over everything. Like the old saying, it's easier to ask for forgiveness then it is for permission.

Exactly what I’ve been looking for!

Great video.. how did you anchor the paragola to the deck, does it need a deck pole for support under the deck for paragola legs

This is fantastic would love the link as well. Looking into something similar

Hello! How are the posts secured to the deck? Only to the deck boards or do you have a footer below? thanks!

Yes please send a link. Great job! It’s beautiful and functional.

I'm definitely interested in getting one. I thought of crafting my own sliding fabric roof but this seems a lot more durable time effective

Thank you for the informative video. I'm interested in the pergola.

Nice work! I really appreciate your transparency on your videos. I will take a discount code also.

Another great video!!! Keep up the great videos. I would love the link. Thank you 🙏🏼

Link please! Liking your videos a lot. Helped me decide what to do with our space next to the patio.

Pergola looks great. I just poured our new patio and this would be perfect. Would appreciate the link. Thanks much!

I personally would rather have a neighbor with a house painted with pink polka dots than be restricted by an HOA. I'll never buy a house that is bound by an HOA.

Pergola looks amazing. I would love the link to it as well. Thank you!

Love how it came out!

Awesome! Would love to see a follow-up. How well does it handle rain?

Link please Sir, your deck and the pergola look amazing. Great job, I don’t want to thank you for your services as well. God bless you and your family for one veteran to another.

This looks great. Would like a link to check it out myself. thanks.

I ran for my HOA board for this exact reason. A couple comments 1. Changing CCRs is next to impossible. In my state, you need a "yes" vote from 67% of the homeowners to change a rule. We did a massive push last year to try and change some of the rules, and we only got around 40% of the entire neighborhood to even vote, let alone vote yes. 2. Some rule enforcement (like the inside of your fence) are 100% stupid. But if you could see the things people try and get away with, and are fined for, you would understand having a limit. Plus, there are laws about "selective enforcement", so if one house is enforced and another isn't for the same violation, there could be lawsuits. So just keeping it as a blanket policy is the easiest and fairest ways of doing things. That all said, next time I buy a house, it will be at a point of time where I can move far enough away I wont need to be in an HOA.

Do you take pergola down during winter timeframe ( when it snows ) or keep it year around ? Any thoughts ?

May I have a link for the discount please? It looks great, btw.

Does Mirador have a proper roof meant to keep out water? This one seems like it’s made for shade.

Exactly what my son and DIL are looking for. Do you have a link?

That looks great. Would love the discount link. Appreciate it!

Do the back wall shutters close?

This came right on time... Ive been looking at pergola ideas!! Discount link please!!

It looks so good but is costly, I'll like a link to the screen part😅, I have a back porch I would like to enclose it and this seems like a great idea

Aluminum... is it possible to put a firepit underneath the awning there? or the pergolar?

Fantastic!

Looks great! How did you secure the pergola to your deck?

Wow! That came out amazing! Can you please send me a link?

Wow, what a gorgeous space! It looks amazing! Please send me the link for Mirador and if you don't mind where you got the furniture too! 😁Thank you!🙏

Definitely would love this. Hit me with the link! Haha, also do you know if they can make it white and black instead of it being brown and black?
