4x4 dressed wood is 3.5" so fits inside bracket without shaving or pounding. Other 4x4 needs thorough drying first, also prevents problems but drying can take 3 weeks plus. Hope that helps others, thanks for sharing your experience. Looks great!
Excellent job !
Thanks for the video ! ❤️
Thank you for whatching!
Thank you so much for this video! We were about to buy another cheap sun umbrella but luckily found this! Looks like I have to invite the men in the family for a project very soon!
Glad this video helped, makes me happy! and thank you for watching!
This was really great, thanks for posting this
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
Gorgeous
Thank you for watching!
I love the monochrome look in the beginning of the video
Thank you!
I am going to look like this guy in the video if I decided to tackle on this project. Other than my wife, I don’t have any extra hands. Thank you for sharing!
Your welcome! We def recommended for safety issues to have more then one person help for the lofted portion. It’s impossible for just two people to do it. Thank you for watching!
great details on the video, i was wondering about the same thing when using pressure treated wood.
Glad I could help!
Great video! How did you anchor the posts to your floor pavers?
Great video. Thank you! Love the way it turned out.
Thank you for watching!
Pressure treat wood is very swollen From all the moisture. Takes a couple of weeks to dry out enough and shrink back to it normal size.
did yall secure it to the ground? if so then how after its put together?
Hi it amazing.
Where did you order the connectors, the black mettal came in the boxes? Also do the curtain/roof, can be odered through same company?
Thx
Hello, yes everything comes with the kit. Thank you for watching!
Nice work! Quick question, how sturdy is it? Does it move too much?
It’s heavy and very sturdy, we actually had a bad winter storm and it’s holding off great! Thank you for watching!
Great video project. Did you guys end up bolting it down to the concrete slab/pavers?
Yes we did! Thank you for watching!
thanks so much for posting this video since this is in my scope to do soon. question for you, is the plastic case for a flat screen T.V?
Happy to help! Yes it’s an outdoor waterproof case that stores the tv mounted to the wall.
Hi - Quick question with regards to the pavers - did you attach the feet of the posts to the pavers - and if so - what did you use? Did you drill into the pavers > or did you remove the pavers and put down concrete?
We did two things to secure it. First we anchored the pergola to the deck by drilling the sides of post into the pergola. Second, we drilled the feet of the posts into the pavers by using tapcon screws.
Hi, thanks for the video, wondering how you secured it to your patio stones?
Thank you for watching ! We used Tapcon screws
@@jojobelashares Can give us the specifications on the tapcon screws used? I am in a similar boat.
Where did you get the shades
Just curious when getting the kit you have to purchase 4x4 separate or they provide at place of purchase?
Yes you would have to buy the 4x4 separate, we bought ours at Home Depot. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing, where did you purchase the brackets for the “wall” thanks in advance
The brackets are part of the kit so it comes with it. Thank you for watching!
What color stain did you use?
Is that a fan? If so, how did you guys mount it and what kind is it? Thanks.
Yes it is an outdoor fan and we had an electrician come and hard wire it to a switch. We purchased the fan from Amazon. Thank you for watching!
Would you happen to remember the name/color of your stone pavers? And also which store you got them from?
Sorry I don’t, it was done by the contractor and he got it from his supplier.
YOU AINT HANGING FROM THOSE HAMMOCKS, YOU AINT FOOLING ME, LOL
Do you have to remove and store the sails for winter and is the fabric waterproof? Thanks
Yes we do store it for the winter and yes it is waterproof. When we know we are getting a storm we remove it just to be safe but it has gotten rained on many times and it’s held up nicely. Thank you for watching!!
What is inside the black box hanging on the accent wall?
It’s a TV. Thank you for watching!
Very nice. Could you please send the link or name of the shade sail with the eye hooks
Is yours 12 ft. Thx
I got everything of their website, it comes with the kit
Is that fan water proof? You dont have issues with it getting wet?
The fan is waterproof and we haven’t had any issues with it and it’s been over a year. Thank you for watching!
Really want to consider this for our backyard but I want something to prevent rain as well. Does this only prevent sun or rain as well?
It only prevents sun. The rain will go through the top sail. If you want to check their website I believe they were coming out with a kit that would prevent rain or perhaps a gazebo style from somewhere would be best for that.
@@jojobelashares thanks for the fast reply. They have their grid 30 style but I emailed them and said they don’t have anything that would work with this style. I really want the pergola so maybe I’ll try to find a different shade that blocks water as well then.
@@bradracine3426 yea I’m sure it’s because it’s a flat top as opposed to a triangle one. Hope you can find something! Thank you for watching and the support!
What kind of box is your TV in? Thank you for posting
It’s called a storm shell outdoor TV enclosure, we bought at from Amazon. Thank you for watching!
After a year how the screen plus bracket doing? Did the screen work well on rain?
Its holding up great, we haven’t had any issues. The screen on top isn’t meant for rain it’s just for shade, so rain does come through it. Thank you for watching!
Great job! What if it rains, do you put away your rattan furnitures. Just curious.
We don’t put them away and they are good it’s been two years now. We do put the cushions away but I also sprayed them with water resistant spray in case we don’t put them away quick enough.
What site did you get the kit from? Did it come with the covering?
I got it from their website Toja Grid and if you select that kit it will come with the shade sails (coverings). Thank you for watching!
Where did you purchase your patio furniture? Specifically, where did you buy the sofa from?
We bought the sofa at Walmart. Thank you for watching!
@@jojobelashares thank you for sharing!
Did you secure the legs into the pavers?
Yes we did, we anchor it to the deck and to the pavers, thank you for watching!
What are the materials actually used? You only list only a couple. Be nice if in the listing it included where to get the pergola brackets from. Maybe I'm missing it. But your patio look awesome
I believe I did say it, the brackets are part of the kit that you would buy from Toja grid. Only thing we needed to buy to make it is the wood. Everything else comes in the kit as far as building it. We stained the wood so we needed that. As far as tools you can see that all in the video. Thank you for watching!!
Does the bracket heavy? I’m curious because I want to order from US and ship to Japan.
The brackets aren’t super heavy, the kit that we purchased came in 5 boxes. Depending on which one you get you might get less or more.
we can pergola with poles of 9cmx9cm ???
Hello, per the Toja grid website the smallest diameter should be 4” by 4” which I believe is 10cmx10cm
Do you have HOA? Did you guys have to ask for permission before putting it up?
Where did you buy those brackets
It comes with the kit
What was you'll overall size? 12x24
Hello, no it was 10x20
How has wood and materials held up so far after 3 years?
Surprisingly it’s been great especially after all the winters
CUTE
I forgot to ask, what size is the whole structure.
10ft wide by 18ft long and 10ft height
Where did you get the outdoor tv kit?
Hey, we got it from eBay. Thank you for watching!
Hey, we got it from eBay. Thank you for watching!
@@jojobelashares was there a brand name on it?
@@mavowar72 it’s storm shell hard shell outdoor tv enclosure ss-55
How much it cost you?
Where can buy the brackets from online
The brackets are part of the kits
Ah! Could you give me the name and maker of your wicker sofa facing the TV?
Hello, thank you for watching! The name is Davenport 7 piece outdoor sectional set from Walmart
@@jojobelashares thank you! I hadn’t seen that style there but I’ll search the name.
@@marilynlankford7320 hope you find it!
What’s that black box?
It’s a cover for our TV
How is it holding up. And of the 4x4s bow at all
It’s holding up good, none have bow and it’s been a year already
What was the price for yours please.
We bought it during the Labor Day sale and paid about 1k not sure how much it is now. Thank you for watching!
What’s height of your pergola?
10ft
A year later, how is it looking for you all?
It’s still in great condition! Thank you for asking
FYI, don’t paint your ends people that adds to thickness and makes the fit tight.
What happens when it rains..?
Nothing, the wood is pressure treated, it’s been 2 years now and they are in great condition. Thank you for watching!
@@jojobelashares i ment the furniture...
@@kaveethhiyarapitiya4813 we put the cushions away but I spray them with a water resistant spray in case we don’t store them in time when it rains. The furniture itself is an outdoor furniture so they are fine.
@@jojobelashares thank you for the infor...
Does it shake? I saw another video saying shake a little, up to 4 inch at the very top if you apply some pressure to it.
4:10 mark on the video below.
czcams.com/video/jzkiJrKLp7o/video.html
We anchored the one side to the deck and the pavers and there’s very little play.
Thanks for allowing this link Jojo 👍😎✊
How much did you pay for everything?
I want to say back then including the kit which was on sale when we purchased it, it was around $1000, thank you for watching!
I cannot find you in instagram. Too many with your name.
I only have one Instagram, jojo_bela_shares, I had to get rid of the other one and now focusing on this one, maybe try that out. Thank you for watching!!
Never use pressure treated wood for pergola kits.
Although you say that someone should have 5-6 people to help erect the pergola, I think you're grossly underestimating the actual number of people that are required. If you pay very close attention to the video, at minute 4:56, you'll see a streak of pink that comes shooting across screen from the right. In the next few scenes that flash of pink slows down enough to see that the flash is actually your project manager, and your PM has the strength of your so-called 5 or 6 helpers
Haha good one, thank you for watching!
