    Such great detailed explanations as you went, good pace, and easy to understand.
    I’m curious why you didn’t check your beam onto the posts instead of looping and sitting right on top? I felt the extra fastening would improve the join strength and still look good when finished.

    I love your videos! You show and explain every step very clearly. Useful tips too. Easy to understand and follow. I get really inspired to start building when I watch these. It's a shame that the person who built the pergola on the house I bought didn't watch this video first. I've got to get out there and do some reno's on it. It's a shoddy mess, unlike the lovely one you just built.

  • @glennboyd1549
    @glennboyd1549 Před 5 lety +5

    Good vid. I work from the top down/temp props for front beam/ put posts in last. Working out rafter spacing on ribbon ( pitch) plate 5.753 m minus rafter thickness ,then divide by 6 spaces. That still gets centre to centre but it gets one side of each rafter. So it's then just a mark then a cross , mark and a cross and so on. Check if the house wall ( where the beam starts from) is plumb. Don't assume it's plumb . If it's 5mm away ,then add 5mm to beam length. I would probably leave the beam a bit long and cut it off up there. I normally rebate the posts to fit to the beam and use 2 cup head bolts through beam to post. With the roof battens, I also shoot them to the rafters like you do but as a high wind will lift up the weakest part, I drive in 1 long bugle to each intersection. If it's only shot with 2 nails per intersection, the battens will twist in time. If I ever do a pergola with rafters going over the top of the beam and overhanging , I weld up a special U shape shoe the slips onto the underside of rafter and has a welded down tab to screw 2 teks into beam and on the U shaped bit, I screw 2 teks into the rafter.I do that to every second rafter.That's for the reason of high winds.I don't like to use the pryda triple grips because I think they look ub\gly.Thats another reason I weld up my own design ( less ugly and very effective. If I put polycarbonate roof sheet up, I install folded metal sheet that caps over the top face of the batten ( width of batten with 10mm down folds.) Reason for that is you can only paint the timber once before the sheeting is installed and it doesn't take long for the sun to do it's work and wear out the paint. The metal flashing will protect the timber way longer than the paint will. Lastly, when I do end flashings to each end of an iron roofed pergola/ verandah, the standard way to finish the flashing, is to do a 10mm fold back in to touch the timber rafter. While it looks neat, the rafter will require replacing in a number of years. The alternative is to do the 10mm fold outwards. It might not look as pretty.( still looks okay though) but the rafter will last many times more years than the other method because water will be deflected away from the rafter. That's either from rain or cold , frosty, icy mornings. :)

Yet, I can’t find any online that are rated for both. Sakrete and Quickrete brands only bind to concrete and masonry. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    kia ora, when you were figuring out where to cut the post opposite the stairs you got your level line from under the rafter and then took off your 193mm off that line which would have actually made the post around 145mm shorter than it should have been!!

    Since the weather board are sloped on the angle, when you are mounting the ribbon board, how do you ensure that is is vertically plum along the full length? I mean, on the right hand side of the house it is fixed to the corner beam which would keep it vertical, but what about the middle and towards the left end of the ribbon? Just seemed a little brief on that part of the build... Were you factoring it it when marking out the line of the bottom of the ribbon board? Thanks and regards
    P.S. I enjoy your videos
