- Join Dan and I as we build our beautiful @tojagrid pergola that was sent to Megan and I from their team! Here we show every step of the way so you fee comfortable with your build. Since it was just us two, we had to modify how to lift this heavy structure with the use of safe temporary supports. Thanks for watching and make sure to smash that subscribe button!
Big thank you to @tojagrid for helping us achieve one of our dream projects

Looking forward to seeing how you will put the roof.
Stay tuned!
@@joshallen_buildswhat about that roof?
Всё супер! Но я бы сделал пол выше земли чтобы во времена дождя, и ветров не попадало вода , и грязь! А так мне нравится! Супер. Салам малейкум из Таджикистана.
Amazon has kits much cheaper and if you’re in a pinch use QUALITY vinyl post with the same 4 or 6x dimensions. I made a few this way with wood rafters to attach sheet metal panels. Just like pipes use quality grade vinyl for the structure. If you’re using wood treat the foot ends of the posts and touch up the finish. Save yourself lots of money sourcing material instead of expensive kits. Some of the most expensive pergola kits are non timber composites.
toga grid has priced themselves outta the market in my area. The PVC is a good idea. hmmm...
Job well done. I hope to do one by this summer
Nice! You won’t regret it

@@joshallen_builds CONCERNING THE CRACKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOOD, STRESS CRACKS FISSURES, WHATEVER THEY CALL THEM, I'M HALF WAY THROUGH MY BUILD AND I SEE THEM ALL OVER ONE POST, WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THE MATTER
What type of wood did you use? Pressure treated what?
awesome. I'm looking to do the exact same thing. Appreciate the video.
Go for it!
Looks so good! Could you anchor to existing pavers?
What is the purpose of a pergola without a roof?
None 😂
Agreed, we are adding a metal roof to it in a later video!
@@joshallen_builds looking forward to that!
Great video! I’m a complete noob at wood or anything like this, so excuse my question if it is too dumb: Do you have to deal with moisture trapped in the brackets that could rot the wood overtime?
Not a dumb question at all! The bracket actually have a lip that keeps the post off of the concrete to create an air gap. Not concern for rot.
@@joshallen_builds thanks! I’m talking about the brackets at the top, especially the horizontal parts where the 6x6s are inserted. The bracket in that part has holes and I don’t see any gaps between the wood and the bracket itself.
What was the total
Cost of your project
what are the Dimensions??
That looks great. Not spending $2K for just the hardware though.
I could understand that. I would call it worth the spend though once you see how nicely made these are.
i agreee way too much
whoa those bracket kits are expensive
How is he wood shrinkage since the post go in loose
Almost a year later and it’s just as stout as the day we installed.
CONCERNING THE CRACKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOOD, STRESS CRACKS FISSURES, WHATEVER THEY CALL THEM, I'M HALF WAY THROUGH MY BUILD AND I SEE THEM ALL OVER ONE POST, WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THE MATTER, I SEE YOURS HAS THEM TOO
They’re treated 6x6s. They dry out and these cracks occur. I’m not concerned.
@@joshallen_builds OK COOL YEA HAPPENDED TO ME RECENTLY
@@joshallen_builds LOWES SELLS A GREAT WOOD FILLER . I PUT IT ON MY CRACKS TODAY. DRIED FAST AND HARD. TOMORROW I SAND IT AND PAINT OVER IT. SEAL THOSE CRACKS
@@joshallen_builds I JUST FIXED MINE WITH LOWES WOOD FILLER, GREAT STUFF, CAME OUT CLEAN
hi! what type of lumber is this?
Menards treated cedartone
How tall are your vertical posts?
Tallest are 8’ but they slope toward the back left to a minimum height of 7’10” for when I roof it
Isn't this the product we produce
Did you have to do any more modification to the 6x6's to achieve a pitched roof with brackets that seem to be square?
No, the pitch I created was so minimal that it all fit perfectly fine.
