@@simonbowler1 your very welcome Simon I’ve always admired carpentry but ended up as a fabricator/welder 😂😂 but when I was young I did want to be an architect 🤦♂️😂😂 but steelwork is my passion and carpentry is definitely yours my friend 👌👌 have a lovely week 👍👍
Just watched all 3 episodes as it's lashing out today. So coffee ☕and a Bowler project is the order of the day. Have to say guys, the clarity of the methods and the video production quality are superb, keep it up 👏
The knowledge and technique that you've imparted in these few episodes is so very much appreciated! Love your no-math methods. I'm a mathematician myself, but not a woodworker or builder, and therefore I actually much more appreciate your method. Thank you for these very educational yet still very much more entertaining videos. Love your content.
That looks fantastic, really sharp. Is it a normal detail for the end grain of the rafters to be visible below the fascia? I can't decide if I like seeing them or not. 👍
Nice build as always Simon. I enjoy your humour and music too. Regarding your metal straps for tying down the posts/staddle stones. I noticed you often do this. What thickness straps do you use. I assume stainless. I like the insurance of your idea against any updraft in a storm. Not relying on just resin bond.. David
Thanks very much, and thanks for watching. I think from memory they are about 15 - 20mm steel. In most cases they are powered coated but here they were stainless as the customer didn't want a painted finish.
@@simonbowler1 thanks Simon. Also purloined your approach using britmet slate. Bob on for the 13 degree pitch i have on a 3mx6m leanto im on with. I mentioned you as a referral when speaking to Britmet on specs. Cheers.
Bro, you could get a job with the BBC presenting. Terrific video, terrific build. Hopefully lots more to come. Even the thumbnails look professional. Would love to know about prices full build and materials as-well.
Thanks Simon for these 3 videos. I am a new subscriber because of them. This looks SO good. A few questions if you have time. 1) Were the oak timbers 200x200? 2) Did you do any treatment on them afterwards like osmo? 3) I know a building like this doesn’t need building regs. But what about structural calcs? How do you know the timbers of this size can handle all wind and snow loading?
great questions! Yes the posts and beams were 200mm x 200mm, no we don't treat them with anything, we leave that to our clients, most choose to let them age naturally. I've had calcs done historically which I refer to, or there are span tables available online. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
Nice detailed video. I'm planning on building a gazebo using Larch machine cut tiles all the same size 400mm x 200mm, approx 20mm thick one end, angling down to about 8mm. I wasnt planning on using an overlap like this, i was going to overlap by just 100mm using roof batons with 300mm spacing. Do you think i need to rethink how many tiles i need? I dont want them blowing off!
@@simonbowler1 Thanks for the reply, it’s only a garden shelter. Now I’m worried about the times blowing off. Ordered 300 to cover 16 square M at £1 each (special price) Would you recommend using clout nails?
@@simonbowler1Another question mate, what would you recommend for covering up/finishing off the gable ends? I’m using barge boards. Didn’t know whether to raise barge board above the level of the finished timber tiles but I guess then water can get down in between? I see on another video you’ve used verge ends, but that was using slate tiles.
Your such a craftsman, beautiful work! Hey how do you find out how long you can span the large large oak joists without a support? for example if you have 2-20 cm x 20 cm supports and a 20 cm x 20 cm joist how do you find out where the supports need to go so the joist doesn’t sag? Thank you for any help!
New to your channel, absolutely stunning work, anything with wood especially oak is a plus, my dad, although not a carpenter, had good wood working skills and have great memories of helping him in his workshop, by the way where do you source your jeans work wear from, they look handy with a zipped side pocket, do they have knee pad pockets, now to catch up on some of your other videos.
super craftmanship. love the woodorking with the joinery! what would be the prize of something like this +- ? and timewise how long u worked on this one in otal project ?
Hi Simon, great video and lovely Gazebo! I hoped you could answer a couple of questions. - What brand are the square drive fascia screws you showed (@ 6:06)? - I've noticed on a few of your projects you combine Oak frame with pine rafters. That feels like a good cost saver, is that why you do it?
Absolutely top job as usual, I have a question though, is there a particular reason the rafters aren’t completely covered by the fascia board, or is it decorative?
Nice work 👌 I have a question, building a bespoke pergola with a hipped roof - the customer would like 3x4m but only corner posts. Will 2x8 roof frame be adequate, if not - how can I make it strong enough to not warp/sag with only corner posts thanks
It took us about three weeks start to finish. If you send new an email through the website with your requirements I’ll be able to give you a cost indication 👍🏻
How do you work out the distances between the battens? Ie Is it always the same distance for every roof? Or does it change depending on the pitch / style of tile? If so how to work out the distance / spacing?
Ah ok no worries I have a job down south and need certain sizes of red cedar oak at 3m long by 240mm wide but was hoping the company was closer so I could get delivery of wood.
This is exceptional
Simon, great content, carpenter myself, when it comes to oak framed work your channel is top of the list
Wow, thank you!
Where has this content been all my life. Cannot help but admire the skills 😮
Thanks for watching
I’ve got to say Simon your skills are impeccable, the attention to detail is outstanding, loved watching your videos and will be watching more 👌👌👌👌🤩🤩

Always look forward to your videos. Personally for me I’m not keen on the plastic guttering
Each to their own, it matches the main house in this instance. We have used zinc on occasion 👍🏻

I’m not sure about the permitted exposure for the tiles you’re planning on using…. Definately worth looking into 👍🏻
@@simonbowler1 Thanks for the reply, it’s only a garden shelter. Now I’m worried about the times blowing off.
Ordered 300 to cover 16 square M at £1 each (special price)
Would you recommend using clout nails?
For cedar we use stainless steel ring shank nails

An 8”x8” oak bean needs supporting about every 3m 👍🏻

Thanks for watching, trousers are from snickers 👍🏻
super craftmanship. love the woodorking with the joinery!
what would be the prize of something like this +- ? and timewise how long u worked on this one in otal project ?
Fantastic as always. Without being uncouth. What would something like this cost to supply and fit 5m x 3m?
Fantastic work do you mind me asking how do you fix the concrete plinths down? Or are they just sat on the slabs
They are granite, and they are bonded to the patio with resin or CT1 👍🏻
Thank you
Fuar proper job
😁👍🏻👌🏼💪🏼
You could of cut angle on sprocket then fixed to a line mate but either way works suppose great work as usual
Thanks, yes…. Good idea on the sprockets, maimed next time 👍🏻
This was a great series and really appreciate the detail you go into. Where was the oak supplier you used?
Thanks, it came from Duffield Timber 👍🏻
Hi Simon, great video and lovely Gazebo! I hoped you could answer a couple of questions.
- What brand are the square drive fascia screws you showed (@ 6:06)?
- I've noticed on a few of your projects you combine Oak frame with pine rafters. That feels like a good cost saver, is that why you do it?
Hi,
The screws were from Carpenters Mate.
Yes we use softwood as Oak rafters would make a significant difference to the price
Absolutely top job as usual, I have a question though, is there a particular reason the rafters aren’t completely covered by the fascia board, or is it decorative?
Decorative mainly 👍🏻
Nice work 👌 I have a question, building a bespoke pergola with a hipped roof - the customer would like 3x4m but only corner posts. Will 2x8 roof frame be adequate, if not - how can I make it strong enough to not warp/sag with only corner posts thanks
I would want something more substantial than that. If your are unsure, you should seek the advice of s structural engineer 👍🏻
Hey been a long time insta follower and loving the videos on here now! Where abouts do you get your oak from if you dont mind me asking?
It comes from Duffield Timber 👍🏻
Super job - just one question. Do you leave the oak to age naturally without a finish?
Thanks, and yes we do 👍🏻
Lovely job 👍 is tile lat a northern term ? I've always known them as tile lath / roofing lath
Possibly, there’s often lots of different names for most things 👍🏻
🤛🤛🤛
😁👍🏻💪🏼👊🏻👌🏼
what sort of money would this cost and start to finish how long does it take?
It took us about three weeks start to finish. If you send new an email through the website with your requirements I’ll be able to give you a cost indication 👍🏻
Looks Awesome! How many days did it take you?
Hi Garviel🖐I've just found Simons channel, after Dan Cox told me about him. His work is amazing💪
@@thetallcarpenter Yes yes Yes!! 👊
what type of roofng membrane is that? Im in canada and nobody uses lats. but Ive got tongue and groove ceiling like yours. I want that product !
How do you work out the distances between the battens? Ie Is it always the same distance for every roof? Or does it change depending on the pitch / style of tile? If so how to work out the distance / spacing?
Depends on the pitch of the roof. These are set at 125mm exposure so so the battens are set at 125mm centres 👍🏻
who makes that rig you wearing please?
Hey, the rig I’m wearing comes from a company called Trussbuddy Tools. Use code BOWLER10 for a cheeky discount!
What is your oak supplier
Just a local one 👍🏻
Where are you based ?
