Very nice. How much did you spend on materials?
@@ramirocastillo2148 About $750 in fall 2019.
@@GlennFrazeeYT not bad at all.thanks for the quick reply.

Thank you for not giving us a 30 minute into on the history of pergolas, and just getting right to it! Awesome video Glenn! Thanks.
You're quite welcome!

Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds th-cam.com/users/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.
Depends on your local wind load.
Hey Glenn, without saying a word, you helped provide me with more tips on woodworking than someone who rambled on for hours about nothing.
This is a beautiful build. Thank you.
Thanks very much!
Only took 2 days because he wasn’t calling all his mates asking to borrow random tools . Actually a very good vid
th-cam.com/video/ZIONnX_ubCQ/w-d-xo.html
Having all the necessary tools does help tremendously. Plus, not being on the phone or taking long ass breaks helps too, lol.
One of the best DIY video I've seen. Detailed and precise. Plus the material list, just Great!
I didn't see the material list
@@GlennFrazeeYT How Can We Gind The Material List?
Dito!👏
and the background music sucks. Great video though
Beautifully done! You know you've done an excellent job/made the right choice when after all is said and done you can't imagine your home without the addition or improvement you've just completed. That pergola belongs there.
Any man who can build a pergoda in lofas deserves respect. 👍
Thanks Randy!
Beer time, what a DIY self-satisfaction.
You did an amazing job!!! I bet your wife was very happy with it! I was getting so nervous seeing you clamp numerous boards together and cut them all at the same time. I have done this and made a huge trellis and cutting all the boards at the same time was just too much for me, I kept thinking I would make an error. Mine finally came out great but yours is amazing! Bravo!!
Thank you.....with most of us staying home it is a great time for home improvement. The wife has wanted one of these for years. I am not the handiest person but I will give it the ole college try.
One of the best looking Pergolas on TH-cam
Thank you for motivating me and making it simple for all the DIYers out there. I built myself a pergola following your plans and hope to be able to show you the final result soon. Keep up the good work.
The thing with these one “man-builds X” series on YT is that most of them have access to hudreds-of-thousands dollar worth of tools and equipment. Which 99% of us don’t have, nor can we invest on unless we do these sort of thing commercially.
@@mordinsolus9414 he used a circular saw, router, jigsaw, saw saw, air compressor, pneumatic brad nailer, saw horses, clamps, chisels and a concrete drill bit. You could buy all of that for 1,000 to 1,500 dollars. You could like me start to buy some tools and then add more to your inventory with time.
Did you ever finish yours?
I’m gonna make myself look like a badass and copy your job like I thought of it all by myself. Wife will think I’m Superman. Thanks Glenn!
I know why it only took 2 days. His wife never came out to ask a thousand questions every couple of hours and questioning if he thought of this or that or why is he doing it this way and not that. Great video.
This is too funny!
Great job.
My hubby expects me to interrupt. Been doing it for 30 yrs. And i have actually started reno projects while he has been away fishing or camping and when he gets back he is invited to finish it. Lol we do work great together. Cheers Mrs G.
😂😂😂😂😂😂10 thousand men would "dito" with you! I am not a man and I agree👏👏😂
@@GlennFrazeeYT bet she was happy!
Lmfao that’s hilarious and on point...
I like how he was just chillin at the end.

Very nice I just think it would look better with a vertical gardenhttps: //go.hotmart.com/J39573173E
That is 1st thing on the to-do list. Have beer on patio.
th-cam.com/video/ZIONnX_ubCQ/w-d-xo.html
I think that was a long weekend
Lovely stuff! I'm planning to DIY our pergola and this have given me so many great productivity tips!
great instructions. I followed your general approach and have built a lovely pergola. Thanks for the great guide.
I love this pergola. Well done.
You've done an excellent job. It looks beautiful. I cannot wait to show this video to my husband. He promised me he would build me a pergola this summer. I hope mine looks as beautiful as this one.
All done with the safety moccasins on too what a legend... great job
Thanks Doug! 👍
Ha-ha Doug, that was the first thing I noticed.
Dude, that is an outstanding job. Seriously, nice - and precise - work. You’ve added interest and value to your home and it stands out in a big way. Congrats!
Glenn, I’m sure you’ll enjoy spending time out there in the spring/summer weather, especially with this uncomfortable Coronavirus situation going on all around us.
Legend says, he's still out there having a beer. I wish I was that talented!
wishing you'll see this th-cam.com/video/p8e-H77NNoI/w-d-xo.html
That's a well-deserved drink my friend. Well done.
Thanks!
I am currently working on my deck and backyard area. I just completed the fence and am working on my shed. My wife talked about wanting me to build a pergola when the deck is complete. This is not necessarily the style that I would go with but it is very nice. Great work! It sure gives me some good ideas.
Such a great & helpful video, I'm going to build it myself , pretty much got all the knowledge needed. Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for such a detailed tutorial, Looks amazing well done.
Finally i understood how the beams are levelled! Priceless, thank you so much
Glad to help!
Awesome outcome.... Built one a few years ago, but dug the posts instead. Planning to build another one with my brother and this vid definitely gives me different techniques!!.. Great craftsmanship!
Absolutely mint, your a savage on the tools, seriously good job on that!!! A well deserved beer
th-cam.com/video/ZIONnX_ubCQ/w-d-xo.html
That looks awesome, outstanding job 👍
th-cam.com/video/ZIONnX_ubCQ/w-d-xo.html
Extra details with notching makes all the difference in the world. Great Job!
Excellent job and a beautiful pergola. Exactly what I want for my back patio. Couldn’t be more perfect! Thank you for sharing this. Awesome job!!
Thanks 🙂
Great job. As I watched you wield a persuader to mate the rafters to the beams, a lesson I've learned when building outdoor projects in the NW came to mind: the end grain shoulders of the notches on the rafters aren't going to dry much when tightly fitted, and they will expand in the wet seasons, slowing crushing the cell walls of the beam while driving in moisture. Even Cedar is subject to rot sooner than you'd think--unless you source old growth. It's tempting to always want to show off precision, but a bit looser fit, consistent of course, will last a lot longer. Alternatively, it pays to take the extra time required to apply end grain preservative, especially on the tenon shoulders, which being horizontal, will trap and hold moisture every time it rains.
Great job!! Our landscape company just built one for a customer. Twice as big and four times the amount of time to build. I'm extremely impressed.
That's because you used employees to build it. They have ZERO incentive to do it quickly or efficiently.
I’ve been building a pergola over the patio I made out front of our house. It’s about 16x 9 so a decent size. I’ve spent about a month working here and there, mainly on the weekends but I am also sanding every board and staining. It’s such a huge improvement to the front and people are amazed at how it’s turning out. Nothing better then having neighbors ask you if you charge to do this work. Heh. Long as you are creative handy with tools anyone can build these. Having the right tools is a major help also.
th-cam.com/video/ZIONnX_ubCQ/w-d-xo.html
bigger it is the more you actually need footers and so on... its not a linear process. When you go bigger it requires more concrete work. You also SQUARE the number of fasteners involved, the process is LOGARITHMIC 🙃
Your dexterity makes it look like you had done a few before this one! Great job. Your patience is a gift.
Thanks very much!
one of he most complete vids and detailed information on how to build a pergola, after watching your video confidence has build up some more as it would seem a daunting task for one person you prove wrong ! awesome work !!!
This was an awesome video with a straightforward installation.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Beautiful work! Congratulations! You are an amazing craftsman! You deserve the chilling!
Thanks Lee!
Wow! Beautifully done!! Hard working man deserves a nice cold beer and relax. 👍
Good job, buddy. And all done by yourself. That's the best part. That feeling at the end, knowing you've done it by yourself.
All done in a nifty pair of slippers! Love it.
th-cam.com/video/ZIONnX_ubCQ/w-d-xo.html
Saw this pop up in my instractables feed great job! I am going to do something like this this summer over my concrete patio and have been looking at various designs.
Awesome job Bro.. The curves on the woods were precise and looks amazing. And the last 10 seconds of the video is phenomenal. You deserve that relaxation, rest and refreshment..
Thanks!
I love watching you perform your craft. It really helps me visualize a project.
Thanks Joshua!
I’m a carpenter for many years and I love learning something new. Remember you new guys when pricing this add enough for time planning, design, getting materials, and sales and invoicing and profits.
Haha I thought that was pretty standard. If you're a carpenter by trade you know how to price this lol.
@@spencercorpuz A carpenter once said, price it the cheapest, then Double it.
WOW 🤩 that was awesome. I learned some new things. Thank you.
It turn out amazing! Love it. Great job.
Congratulations buddy that’s a Beautiful pergola. Not only one of the nicest I’ve seen but also achievable to build for the average diy enthusiast. 👍
Great job, wish I had the tools and of course the knowledge and skill. 👍🏼
Best part was seeing how satisfying it was to just walk out and sit down and take a drink. Great build.
Brilliant! The skill level and logic was impressive.
I was looking for a video that showed how to build a pergola properly. I have just found it!, Thanks for taking the time to make and upload this video, I now have a busy few days ahead of me. Let’s start pergola-ing, pretty sure that’s not a word.
Great video. Just purchased my supplies over the weekend and excited to start this project. However, this might be a dumb question but where did you use the 2-7/8 flathead fasteners?
Great video. I love the craftsmanship - using rebated joints instead of those galvanised hanger brackets that are so popular here in Australia.
I’ve built a few pergolas and know just how nice that tasty beverage is at the end. Thanks for posting this.
Lovely the way you routed out the grooves/joint
Really nice. I will be building one in a few weeks. I will watch all your videos and I like your design.
I was going to get some help but thanks to you I see I can do this project by myself.
th-cam.com/video/ZIONnX_ubCQ/w-d-xo.html
Very impressive. Sure you're not pro? The beer at the end was the best bit. Man, that must have tastes good. Thanks for sharing, good job 👍
th-cam.com/video/ZIONnX_ubCQ/w-d-xo.html
Of course he's a pro ...
Dude is definitely a pro. 😂
Great job, looks awesome. I'm wanting to build a smaller version for a space on the side of our house. Thanks for the tutorial!

Love how much you drop stuff feel like I'm the only one doing it sometimes
Highly satisfying to watch, and a great ending!
Excellent job for 1 guy. I'm sure I'll be doing something similar at my sisters place.....
the only way she'll help is by passing me a few beers now and then lol

Great channel and video, Glenn! Happy new subscriber here! One quick question: How do you create temporary post supports when there is nothing but concrete (i.e. no grass to sin a 2x4 stake in)...
Absolutely amazing! Great job. Very impressive.
Thanks Peter!
Impressive!! Thanks for sharing this!!! You're talented!!!
Love how you notched everything. I’ve been looking at building one and not everyone does the notches on the poles and rafters and runs. I have a question. What is the common space between all of them? Thanks and great job on it! It looks great.
That's amazing work! You're a beast with those tools. Do you have a list of materials or a drawing that you would not mind sharing??
Just copy what you see
Very nice pergola, you really came up with a great design and build. Really liked it. Your video is very nicely edited, short, sweet and to the point.
From Missouri
Turned out great, Glenn! Just some string party lights and that’s the place where the entire neighborhood will want to spend time!
Thanks!
Great job. Nothing like a good pair of work slippers ;)
@@GlennFrazeeYT I am a socks and slip ons kinda guy myself
Good thing he has all the tools! Hello! 2 days.. no problem!
Loved it . You didn’t tell us how smart you were ,you just showed us! Thank you
Thanks Andre!
you killed it man! Awesome work dude! You are talented. I want to build the same one.
I was gonna say, no job is complete without a good cold beer, and you showed us that at the end. Well done good sir.
The moccasins though!
All this time, I thought he was using his hands😂😂😂 just kidding, I think I get wat u getting at.....feet safety?? If yes, then we would need to add the helmet! I think the guy did a magnificent job & rest my case!👍😂
OSHA
Aww leave him alone lolol
th-cam.com/video/ZIONnX_ubCQ/w-d-xo.html
Awesome work! Thank you for sharing.
THEE BEST PERGOLA BUILD ON TH-cam..Thank you for the build instructions. Making a pergola beam privacy fence this weekend, this video is extremely helpful. Thanks!
Glenn Frazee Question: How deep are the notches cut for the main beam and rafters. I know you said "half-notch", but how deep is a half-notch? Rookie question, 😳
Glenn that looks amazing! I have been looking for inspiration and you did it. Just want to know if the concrete slab will hold the weight without cracking or breaking up? Again great job.
Another thing to think about is that you have 4 points of contact which spreads the weight evenly. Which those nice heavy posts have a large footprint that supports each corner well. My only concern was the cost of materials used vs buying a premade version.
Also the wood being out in the open over the years. Did you protect the wood with a finish of some sort?
Well deserved “beer”!!
Absolutely beautiful. Great work!
Thanks Ruben!
Fantastic build! And very well documented with great camera shots and angels. Thank you for posting.
Thank you!
On the 2nd day he rested, had a beer, and laughed at all the neighbors without a pergola.
The second day, and every day after that too!
@@GlennFrazeeYT and probably during the construction 😃. I drink at least 4 beers during every project lol.
did he just go get the wifey's Autumn arrangement to make a stencil?! lmao Iluv it!
That's how you do it.
That's one way of how your wife gets into the credits, hehe
Wow, I am inspired to build one after watching you do this.
It is simply gorgeous!! What a great job!!
Thank you!
Would be nice to have a wisteria growing onto the Pergola...Good Job..
Or some honey suckle!!
Love the final outcome!
On our family home years ago I trained a trumpet vine to grow up a newly built pergola that attached to the side of our home. It was beautiful and attracted hummingbirds. It was beautiful. Wisteria is very nice, too.
Planted a single Wisteria plant along a new cedar fence with lattice top thinking it would look cute. After a few years the vine had literally strangled, crushed and deformed my fence. It's like slow motion violence combined with Shackleton's wooden ship ripped apart by pack ice. Ruined the fence and then proceeded to climb and strangle a nearby cedar tree up to 30 foot heights. Plant should come with a waning label.
What's the price for something like this. Great job!
@@GlennFrazeeYT How much would you charge for the labor? Approx?
Very Nice. I was thinking about making a custom aluminum fabricated Pergola. You made it look so easy even though I know there's a lot that goes into it. Great job, looks really nice.
Wow!! That's fantastic!!... I wish I had one.. & would hire someone to make me one. Love the work this person put in. Thanks
Great job, I’m curious tho. Could it be done in 2 layers instead of 3 on the roof? Seems a bit top heavy ?
It’s really stable, the third layer makes it look better, this video is awesome
I agree the third layer takes it a step above - looks fantastic and technique will help me in any plans I have for a construction going forward. Thanks for sharing
You got some serious skills champ! I’ll start on mine in a about 3 weeks when my metal building is complete might have to fly you in.
The notching is super top notch and the spacing is super on spot. I have yet to see a craftsman put all the boards together and do that all at once
Next you gotta build some furniture to go under it instead of that store bought stuff. 😉
Men who can build are soo attractive 😍
.mlmopmmmpmpmlmmmkommmlpmmmm
i can tell your a older women with that comment😉
@@209chevymon I can tell you're younger by your incorrect use of "your." ;-)
So very true!!!
The Jimmy Good call!!!
Very good work ! Nice and explanatory video! Well done !
He certainly did a great job but if I were going spend that much time and money, I would have put on waterproof patio roof.
You could add a few clear panels on the to on this pergola and have a waterproofed area
Best iv seen yet in less than half the time and only 1 man. Very good job
Thanks Henry!
This is on my bucket list, retiring soon. Great project. nice layout.
I have a pool in the backyard and concrete ground’s not leveled up, and you gave me this brilliant idea on how to set up post heights and saved me from the dilemma! Thank you man!
Glad it was helpful!
Such a nice job. Loved the video. Showed what we needed but not over the top👍
