As a welder, they had to have hired the most unskilled welder in existence. Yeah just weld right over slag covered welds for slag inclusions so the welds break. Also, you’re playing Russian roulette using a cut off wheel as your only source of cutting material. Get a real saw, and a real welder to do this.
Wow, this is exactly what I want to build behind my house to cover an "outdoor" gym area so that my equipment is protected from rain. I love the minimal look of the metal structure. This is exactly what want to do where one side has a higher pitch than the other but stands alone (not attached to the house). Great work!
hi, what size posts and beams are those? and what wall thickness. planing on similar build but having trouble deciding on wall thickness to prevent sagging
Looks like 1/8" wall thickness. You could probably get away with 1/16". I have a build video for a 10' x 12' steel gazebo on my channel where I used tubing of both wall thicknesses.
That's a basic arc welder that he's using to stick weld. For aluminum you'll need either a MIG welder with a bottle of argon gas or a TIG welder with a bottle of argon. Welding aluminum is tricky, you'll want to use steel if you don't know much about welding. I'd MIG weld it instead of stick welding. It's cleaner and easier. I have a build video on my channel for a 10' x 12' steel gazebo that's all TIG welded.
I have a metal Pergola and can't find any detail videos on anyone attaching a plexi roof to one....what are you using to attach the roof to your Pergola?
