😂 appreciate that! Took decades to figure it out

Hi Frank! We actually got the one in the video for a few grand (link in description). The $27,000 was for one of those motorized pergolas that was permanently attached to the house (i.e. Struxure). I'm glad you found a great solution for yours! Which brand did you get?

Hi! So our pergola sits on a deck that was made of Cedar Boards, but then we just redid it with Ipe Brazilian Walnut boards (check out the video where we redid our deck)! We haven't anchored the pergola onto the deck yet though. We wouldn't recommend this though since the manufacturer would recommend that you anchor it down. If we were to anchor it down, we would use bolts and would put blocking under the composite boards so that the bolts have more than just the composite boards to screw through. So in order, it'd be the pergola, composite boards, then wood blocking with the bolt going through each. Does that help? Thanks for the great question! Please subscribe if you haven't yet. All the best!

​@@HouseofHuie- Won't it move in high winds though?

@jmk1962 yes it will shift in high winds. The past couple weeks have been windy so we do notice it happening. That being said, we just move it back one leg at a time to where we want it. We are not as picky about the exact location it sits. There is some wiggle room. So far the pergola hasn't ever fallen over in the past few years!

That being said, we always recommend whatever the manufacturer says to do!

@@Cheeseboy737 hi! We used 5/4 x 4 boards. True dimensions is 1 inch x 3.5 inches. Are you looking to do a new handrail?

@@Cheeseboy737 that’s a great note! I think we were concerned that’d we’d drive the screws too quickly into the frame and need to do some adjustments. The irony is we do have an impact driver. Haha. We used it for some framing purposes. We are such novices when it comes to the best tools to use. Thanks for stopping by!! We love the feedback!!

@anthonys9513 yes. That being said, the control arm for the louvers does stick out an inch or two from the side of the pergola so if that side is next to the house, than you will have a small one or two inch gap. However if the control arm is away from the house, then you can have the pergola perfectly flush with the house. Your choice on how to position it. We have the control arm closer to the house and a foot gap. Personal preference! If you can, please subscribe for future content! Thanks!!!

@rsngrl thanks so much! So for draining the tub, we designed the bench framing so that we can access the spout easily without removing the framing. We also created the bench framing to be separate from the rest of the deck so we can lift out the bench frame in one piece. We just need to remove 6 screws. Hopefully we only have to do that once every few years at the most! We will have to post a video about that, so subscribe if you can!

@gggrororo hi! Over the past couple years we've had a few snow storms. The most probably was around 8 inches at one time. You are supposed to open up the louvers when it snows so that it doesn't collect on the top. We forgot to do that though! The good news is that the structure held the snow fine. However for Montreal snow, I would make sure to open up your louvers when it snows so it doesn't collect on top!

Hi Casey! The Miter Saw is actually a SKIL Dual Bevel Saw. I included the link in the description so you can check it out. We love the Dual Bevel function to get all the angles. The Circular Saw is an old Makita from 10 years ago. I included a link to a similar makita though. We have a electric cord one which we think gives more power, but an electric one would be nice and very portable!! What are you working on these days? Thanks for stopping by and if you haven't yet, can you subscribe? Thanks!!

Thank you!! Come on over!

@pujeshpradhan2084 thanks! It's Sorara. Check out the link in our description!

Hi! That was the price we were quoted for a Struxure Pergola to be installed. Check out Struxure. It looks like an amazing product, but it is very expensive. We decided we buy something similar (but not as nice) and install it ourselves! Thanks for watching!

Sure did!!! Thanks for watching!

Hi! Do you mean the side closer to the house or away? The side closer doesn't need one because it's less than a 22" drop (I think that is the requirement). On the other side away from the house, we don't have one since it's not a sitting area (more of a drink rail). Great question! Thanks for watching and subscribing !

Thanks TOM!!!

@@EdwardAsbury thanks Ed!! Hope you are doing well. Been too long!

Hi Ron! I love that we're on the same journey together! How's the remodel going? In terms of the series, we used Signature Series in "midnight" and ours is a Fascia Mounted (i.e. the posts are mounted on the outside of the deck and not on top). Midnight means black hardware and black cable. Do you know if you want to do a Fascia Mounted Post or Top Mounted Post? Tell them we sent you!

I’m not sure on how we plan to bolt on the posts. We’re fastening the IPE deck boards from below. Not crazy about putting holes in the IPE deck boards. We are also using IPE on the face boards too. So, it’s going to have to go thru one way or another. I like the idea of using IPE for the top plate. I’ll definitely mention you two. Thanks for the info.

Also, can I ask a favor? If you haven't subscribed yet, can you give us a follow? ❤

Yes, I liked and subscribed 😊

@ronmillstein gotcha! As you know, ipe is so hard that it will be tough (but not impossible) to drill through to mount the brackets. Cable Bullet does supply the drill bits necessary, but just double check they will work through ipe. We used timbertech pvc for the face boards. Keep us updated!!

Awwww! I'm glad we captured this very upsetting moment so we could show how we make TONS of mistakes

@shauninuman1638 I don't think so. Usually it's cooler in the shade, and plus since the sides are open, I don't think the heat traps in there.

@joyd3825 you are absolutely right! We may let it stay grey for a few years until we want to switch it up. We like how it contrasts our brown siding. Do you have an ipe deck too? Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. If you haven't yet, can you subscribe to the channel? We have a new video coming soon with more ipe wood that is sanded and oil for our railing.

@@M1IT hahaha. I guess so. It's even worse with a Philadelphia /Delco accent. Where are you from?

@@Pejerro wow! That's so cool! It's a great pergola! Did you see our other pergola video.

@lonelyally thank you so much!!!! We love the weathered grey look. I appreciate you watching and commenting. If you haven't yet, can you subscribe? That helps us out a lot!

@lonelyally we found this on a Facebook Marketplace. Check out the full Video to see how crazy it was. I recommend looking for used material If it's high quality Ipe wood

@EduardoAMarin great! We just posted a new video about redoing our deck boards, and you can see the pergola in the video. Check it out. We also are going to post a new video with new drone footage of the peegola and exk in a few weeks so make sure to subscribe if you haven't yet. Thanks!!

Option B has so much classic charm. Timeless. ❤

Thanks Lynn! So glad you dig it. It definitely is a huge deck that is almost the same footprint as our house! If you ever wanted to redo your deck, let us know!

Aneesah that is a huge compliment! hahaha. If we had more time and unlimited resources, we would absolutely build you a house!

Hi! The $27000 price referred to a custom built pergola that would attach directly to your house. Those had motorized louvers too. The DIY kit we got was only a few thousand dollars. Thanks for the comment! If you get a chance to Subscribe, we'd greatly appreciate it!

Yes! I'm glad you got that reference!

@saltwaterpurl thanks! Appreciate the comment! I think the grout matches better now that it has dried more. If you haven't yet, can you subscribe? That will help us give more updates on projects!!

@@donnyjay4269 check out the link in our description! Thanks for watching. If you haven't yet, can you give subscribe to the channel? ❤️

@nardeezy it's true! The gap does exist, but it's maybe a few feet at the most, so it's a pretty quick step to get dry. There's nothing really to prevent the rain getting through in that area except to place the pergola flush with the roof, but we don't want to do that. Thanks for commenting and hopefully subscribing!

@@HouseofHuie understood. We installed ours October 2021 and although it’s not a problem sometimes it can be nuisance depending on the storm. We have a similar gap and the second story roof gutter does overlap a little but if it’s raining hard with wind it definitely gets wet in between the gap. We’ve experienced some heavy rain where it’s not so windy and the gap is dry because the rain is either blowing in the opposite direction or straight down. I’m researching on a simple plastic awning that I can attach to the house or a custom plastic polycarbonate piece that I can adhesive attach to the pergola to eliminate the rain.

@@nardeezy please keep us updated with what you find. I never thought about a clear awning! That's a great idea. 👏

@@MrDeano-eu9rg hahah. Are you British? I'm wondering the correct pronunciation now. I promise to look up the correct way if you subscribe!

@@fritzs1207 we haven’t had any of the louvers leak and we have had it for a couple years now. The water won’t seep in from the top. However you will get water coming in from the open sides if it’s really windy rain, but that will happen with any open structure. Thanks for watching!

@ftsfrosty2 thanks for the comment! Your opinion is valid. What do you mean by large bezels though? Do you mean the digital mat or the white bezel?

@@LissetteLissie thank you for catching that!! 😄

@davidg5290 we are in the Philly suburbs so we do get snow from time to time. So far it's been fine. However you should open the louvers so that the snow doesn't stack up on top. The manufacturer recommends not to let the weight of the snow stay on top. We forgot to do that a couple times this winter, but thankfully it is still operational! I don't know how much snow you get though. Thanks for stopping by! Like and Subscribe if you can 🥰

@user-yr5tt4th3x thanks for commenting! It's definitely a classic beautiful style!

@@vaquerareggaetonera hi! It was around $3000, but check out the link in the description to find out real time prices. Thanks!

Thanks for messaging us! I don't think it's that loud (next to our living room). It probably also varies depending on your windows/doors and how much insulation they provide. I'm about to drop a video specifically about this topic in our Shorts feed. Make sure to subscribe if you haven't yet so you can know when it releases. Thanks!

Hi! Did you watch the new shorts video?

Hahah. I'm so glad my hair got your attention and its own roast😅 thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for writing! We love hearing from you. I'm so glad you like it. It's been a life saver for us on the hot days. Also I appreciate the hair love!!!

Great question! Absolutely Yes. You upload via their app (you could do it on your phone). We have some pictures up there from vacations which add a nice touch. As a photographer, you could probably also market your images to be used for the Frame TV... Just a thought! You could have the photos already cropped to work perfectly for the Frame to make it easy for folks to upload.

We've had hail, but I can't say it's as "big as Texas!" Hahah. So far we've had this for 2 years and it's held up.

When we are inside our house, we don't notice any extra noise. If we're outside, then it can be louder. Check out our Shorts video where we play the violin outside to get a feel of the noise.

Hi! Check out the link in description for the exact pergola we purchased! We've had it for 2 years now and have been super happy with it.
