Viewer Betsy Smith pointed out that the crossbeams are actually 2x2s not 1x1s! Sorry about that!
At 74yo, I can and will do this project! Thanks for your perfect instructions!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! We're cheering for you, Sandy! Hope you're project turns out great! If we lived near you we'd be over to help. 🤠 God bless!
This was the exact awning I was looking for my barn. THANK YOU!!
Awesome! Glad it helped! Best of luck with your project. God bless!
Thank you for showing this to us viewers. Very simple to make and STURDY! Instead of using one of those cheap, plastic types that are sold at Walmart and Home Depot type stores! 😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Best of luck with all your future projects! God bless.
Thank you for posting this and explaining what you're doing so everyone can understand. First video I've seen that I think I can do. The rain is destroying the wood on my back patio.
Thanks Lisa for your nice compliment! I feel the same way that you do. I often watch other videos trying to do projects and they are phenomenal but I think, that's way above my level or sometimes they use tools that I can't afford so I strive to do projects that are simple and that even an idiot, like myself can figure out! 😂 God bless you!
Thanks so much for this video! I am trying to make an awning in the back of my house to keep the rain away from the foundation but also to screen in it for a little refuge from the bugs if I want to hang out with the dogs in the backyard! I'm going to use your method, I'm very much a beginner, but you make it look very easy! :)
Why would you want to keep yourself away from the foundation? 😜 Thanks for your kind words! Have a blessed day.
Thanks for this! I watched it today before making an awning for a shed. Your tips helped make it easy.
Thanks Matt! Glad it helped. God bless!
Thank you. Very well explained for anyone to be able to make it.
Thanks Carmen!
Loved this tutorial. Thanks! I'm in the california mountains. When the wind and rain start kicking off--- we just suffer through it. This is definitely a priority project!
Thanks for the kind words! Hope you're project turns out well! God bless!
Thank u, as I was caught in the rain adding a wall in my she shed, I realized I needed an awning, thank u for this

Thanks for your very kind compliment! Have a blessed day and a wonderful 2021!
@@diyamerican hope to see more.
Really nice job.
Thanks Vin! Have a blessed day!
Nice. I think you should paint the wood frame white to match your trim and to protect it from mother nature.
That's good advice! Thanks for watching and have a blessed day!
Great video,my husband and I will be making one for my she shed. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it! Best of luck with your project! You must have a good hubby if he's helping you make a she shed! 😁 God bless!
Good simple idea many thanks
Most welcome 😊 God bless
Great video!
Thanks Chrissy! Glad you enjoyed it. Have a blessed day!
Glad I found your video. This is exactly what I need to do on my side door. Tired of getting wet trying to get into the house! You explained everything well and and all the necessary tools and brackets
Glad I learned about those types of nails for the plastic sheets. Wish you would have painted the wood white to match your house trim
Greetings from Los Angeles
Howdy Los Angeles! Former Pomona resident turned Kansan here. Miss all the delicious LA food! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for leaving a comment to let us know. God bless!
@@diyamerican glad you like my great town. Love to catch up next time you’re here
Love your babies so cute 😆
Thanks! We love them too!!! Have a blessed day!
I've always tried to figure out how to build a shed for my kids. I tried several plans but always got stuck along the way. I'm glad I found this Ryan's shed plans [ Go Here >>> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. It has made the work become as easy and simple as I never thought it will be. Thank you Ryan!?
Well done and love your animal family . God bless ❤️🙏🤗
Thanks Maria! Very sweet of you to say. God bless you!
This is great work nice awning
Thanks Jonny!
Good Video...I would opt on measuring 44" from the fixed side of the bracket over the door....
Good suggestion!
Thank you!!
Welcome! God bless!
Animals so cute!
Aren't they just! 😁 God bless you!
Super job! Looks great!I just subscribed to your channel.❤
Thanks Rhonda! We appreciate it! Have a blessed week!
Thank you,Wonderful description,!I will subscribe.Great job and admire all your animals ;)
Thanks Gabriele! Glad you liked it. Thanks for subbing! Much appreciated. God bless!
Looks good! I would have built most of that on the ground. Use clamps and pieces of wood to prop it with.
Thanks again! Thanks for checking out our channel. I actually did another awning with ground support. Check it out ... th-cam.com/video/2jOXjAWqi0s/w-d-xo.html
Awesome!
Thanks Mel! We think that you're awesome! Have a blessed day.
Nice!
Gracias!
I would have painted the brackets grey to blend into the house.
Why didn't you say so earlier? I would have invited you over to do that for me! 😁
Hello, Im trying to gather all wood material for my project. Mine will be somewhat similar to yours. Mine will be a 4x9 covering on my back porch. I'm looking to building a pergola using (5) 2x4 rafters as you did and (3-4) 1x4 crossbeams. However, I believe there will be a bit overkill. I was thinking of using 2x2 rafters and 1x2 crossbeams using the same roof paneling you 'd used in this video. Is that polycarbonate you'd used for your roof panel? So Im not sure to build a pergola or an awning, what do you think?
Hey Angelo. I can't remember what the roofing was exactly, some sort of plastic from Lowe's. It's hard to say whether a pergola or awning would be better without seeing your doorway. On this same channel I have several videos of different styles of awnings and one that has pillars sort of like a pergola. I'd suggest watching some more videos or even doing a Google image search and see all the different options out there. Best of luck with your project. God bless!
Nice weekend project! Any tips on anchoring into stucco?
Oh man! I hate stucco! I used to have that at one of my old places. I used to just try to find a stud underneath to anchor to I wouldn't trust stucco for anything. Maybe if you look on TH-cam you'll find some tips on doing that. Best of luck! Have a blessed day.
great video - it looks great and very helpful thank you (please give your animals another bunch of hay.)
Thanks for your kind words! I wish I could give those beautiful critters some extra hay but sadly we moved out of state and had to sell them. 😥 They did all go to the same farm though, so we were happy they got to stay together! Have a blessed day!
Thank you
You're welcome! Have a blessed day!
Oh my goodness Captain America. Thank you for the tips. Will you pass on greetings to your Wife, Gladys, Minnie and Ben and Nibbles. (Only ones I have met so far) Your videos are very informative and endearing. 🙏🙏 From Lawrie in Antigua.
Hi Lawrene. Did you stay at our B&B or how do you know all our critter's names? Also which Antigua do you hail from? Thanks for your kind words and we wish you a happy and prosperous 2022! God bless!
Hello Dear Family. My husband and I have lived outside the US for the last 12 years. Mostly in Asia. Have had to do our own home improvements where ever we live. 3 years here on the island of Antigua in the West Indies because of his work. I just googled how to make an awning for my tiny bungalow because I want one , and there you were. I’m 64 years old and not afraid of a saw , a ladder, or a drill. Haha so to motivate my husband I get everything set up and he freaks out when I start the saw and after months of begging my DIY projects get done. The first video I saw you talked to all your pets and I just remembered their names. Warmed my ❤️
That's so awesome! Thanks for sharing a bit about your life! It sounds exciting! I would love to hear all about your story. For several years we ran a bed and breakfast in our home so I thought maybe you were one of our former guests since you knew the animals names. I love the fact that you watched other videos and gathered all of their names. Unfortunately we ended up selling our place in the Pacific Northwest and had to sell all of our critters as well except for Monsieur Nibbles IV (the cat) and Higgins (the dog). We moved out to Kansas back in May and just a few days ago we moved again (still within Kansas) into our special little Home on the Prairie. If you are at all interested in our adventures in the Midwest you might like to follow our new channel which is called Corn Fed Life. We are definitely inspired that at your age you are still doing lots of DIY projects while living abroad! We hope you'll keep in touch!
I liked your simple & easy & saving $ . I liked your animals , too . It is a simple life , peacefull & quiet . Where is country side ? If you don’t mind .
Thanks Yen Vi! This countryside is just outside of Roseburg Oregon.
That cat likes living on the edge!
That's for sure! 😁
Awesome
Thanks Tea!
Question, did you waterproof or seal the wood? It doesn't look like treated wood to me. Won't it rot after exposure?
Hi Dan. Since the wood is covered by the plastic I figure it should last pretty long. Using treated wood or painting it would definitely be a good idea! Thanks for watching and God bless!
i actually need this for TWO different doors - reg. backdoor but also a *double* door on a shed........... could i just double the materials and have an extra crossbeam? (the thick ones i mean) thx
That sounds like a fine idea to me! Always check your local building codes as well. Have a blessed day. 🤠
Hello, thanks for the video. Could you tell me the name of metal suport? Min 4:07 and 14:53 and size...
Sorry I just realized I never answered your question. I hope you figured it out! God bless!
I noticed you didn't use pre-treated lumber. Do you think it is not necessary? I am hoping to skip it as well.
I don't know what the experts would say, but typically I only use treated lumber for applications that will likely have standing water on them during rainy season.
I built a shed with these plans from Ryan [ Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ] . The instructions were clear and easy to implement. Even a novice can be able to build fast using this plan. I'm happy I bought the plan. It also saved me much cost.
Where did you get those iron pieces that hold the wooden beams?🙏🙏🙏
Hi Gal! 'm pretty sure I got them at Lowe's. That's where I bought about most all of my supplies when I lived in Oregon. Thanks for watching! Best of luck with your project. God bless!
Can you set your chop saw at 30 degrees let me know
I can. Can you? 😁
Could you do an 8x4 panel?
Depends, If you want it to stick out 8' from the home I'd recommend posts from the frame to the ground to secure it rather than braces to the to the side of the house. If it is going to extend only 4' out from the house then another brace from the extended frame horizontally should do the trick. Thanks for watching!
Can you please give a link on the brackets that were used or what they are called exactly? Thank you.
Hi Renee. I don't know what the brackets are called but I got them at Lowe's. If you show them a pic from this video I'm sure they can find them for you.
They're called joist hangers. You can buy them at Lowes or HD for around 98 cents each.
Could I build this bigger like 8X8? Would it be as strong?
Hi Jessi! Personally I wouldn't build one that extended out that far without some sort of additional support, but what do I know I'm just some random guy making videos on TH-cam. 😛 Ask around and maybe check your local city codes and see what they suggest. God bless!
@@diyamerican thanks!
How has the awning held up to snow?
I'm not sure long-term as we sold this place but I think it did hold up through a full winter. Of course this was in Roseburg Oregon where we typically don't get too much snow.
Safety first! (Miter cuts with gloves on and arms crossed)
Good advice! Maybe someday I'll learn to follow it ;)
👍👍👍
Why didn't you use pocket hole screws
So I could get a comment from you. 😁 Have a blessed day and thanks for dropping by the channel. 😁🤠😎
Why you use pocket hole screws
Good question.
What material is the corrugated
It is cut from a polycarbonate plastic corrugated roofing sheet.
@@diyamerican thank you
What happens when the wind blows the rain?
You build a bigger awning like this one... th-cam.com/video/per7yyLdPDk/w-d-xo.html
I was going to build one for my storage but realize the door swings out and will hit the braces I was going to build.
Bummer. Best of luck! God bless!
What’s the name of those white pieces. I need to make one like this. TIA…
Hi Janeth! I believe you're referring to the "rafter ties". You can find them at any time improvement store. Good luck with your project! God bless!
Don't cut el Gato in a half lol. Bien venidos mi casa es su casa.love the sign
Thanks Arthur! I'm glad you like the sign. It's a special recuerdo that I brought back from Mexico City a long time ago. God bless!
Are your cross pieces really one by ones? They look like two by twos. Home Depot has only short one by ones and they are very pricy.
Hi Betsy, yes I'm pretty sure you are correct. I re-watched the video and I'm pretty sure those are 2x2s. Sorry about them being so expensive. Isn't everything nowadays? God bless!
Don't those brackets need to go into a stud? Seems like the weight of this would eventually just rip it out of the siding
The secret is to pray for studs in the locations you need to drill! 😉 But, yeah always mount anything weight bearing into studs!
Not the best way to go about building it but good job for a diy. Would be much easier to build then install.
Thanks! Have a blessed day.
How did you know that you weren't putting screws into wires?
I didn't, but I usually screw into studs. There should never be screws on the outside edge of studs. Also, I like for my guardian angel to keep busy! 😁
When you start the next find the carpenter way without steelparts. Offset and wood spigot!!!
Thanks for the tip Thomas! Sounds like good advice! God bless!
Love it brother….. May Jesus Christ bless you.
God bless Maurice!
Cute donkey.
Thanks Bill!
Can you build me 1
Of course! You live in Kansas, right? 😉
I would not wear gloves or jewelry etc that has any chance of snagging on a power saw blade.
That's pretty good advice for such a bad doggie! 😁 Have a blessed day!
You don't want to have anything that says welcome because if a burglar runs out he has no a defense against accusations
If a burglar runs into our place he won't be running out. 😂 Have a blessed day!
Crossing your arms with a maitre saw is not a good plan.
Thanks for the tip!
Almost everything is done wrong in this video. You should have a licensed contractor, or at least someone with some knowledge about construction, look at it and help you out.
What fun would that be? You must be one of Sensei Kreese's former students. 😁😜😂
Got some weaknesses in design and fabrication, but nothing critical.
The only thing I really didn't like is angling the left end of a board on the right side of the blade: because the right hand works the saw, the left arm was required to cross very near in front of the blade - eliminated by flipping the board to the left side.
Thanks for the tip brother! God bless!
my granny can do better then that......lol....but nice try tho!
Oh yeah, well my granny could've whooped your granny. 😜
This is not easy unless you have the tools.
just basic tools. Nothin fancy here. 😁
@@diyamerican you call thar basic? Wow
I suppose you're referring to the saw that I picked up at a garage sale for probably $40 or $50. Most of the tools I use are well under $100. I guess if someone is still using sticks and rocks like a caveman from the Stone age then these tools could be considered fancy. 😂
Awesome!
Thanks so much Victoria! We always appreciate encouraging words! God bless you and Happy New Year from the middle!
