How do you know which fasteners are able to support the main weignt bearing joists? Would you be able to build a safe second floor on top of those joists? Having just watched some house building videos, I'm now scared of my own house just because it seems to depend on screws and weight to stay upright lol
I really appreciate how you shared the details of this project. It makes diys like yours less intimidating and daunting. That helps me understand now why my roof leaks, because of lack of those screws with washers and gaskets. Thanks
Thanks for the video. ❤❤❤We added a tv to our gazebo and love how fun it is to watch tv outside and with friends outdoors. We used the ZeboZAP gazebo tv mount and love how easy it our 43” tv strapped on the post. No drilling was required and not marks or holes were left on the gazebo post. The gazebo mount could swivel 360 degrees to watch from a anywhere gazebo. We have a pool beside the gazebo so we could watch tv from the pool as well. 🎉🎉🎉
I really enjoyed your video. I am a diy person myself, and your instructions are very clear. Thank you for taking the time you put into putting this video together.
Quick tip. The screws should go in the peaks of the corrugated material, not the troughs. Unless specified by the manufacturer of the panels of course.
Great job! Just a thought, one might use a Simpson ABU/ABA instead of the post bases. That would eliminate the need to cut the rebar and they give you 1” stand-off to allow water to run away from the bottom of the posts. Thanks for sharing your project.
Good effort but a few rookie mistakes, one being using interior screws (class 2) for external application (requires class 3 fixings as these are galvenized), also the post saddles are designed for embedding into concrete not a hole into timber and the roof screws are supposed to be drilled on the ridges not the valley of the roof sheets
Yes you're somewhat correct. The screws being zinc coated would not be recommended. I get the post sales are designed for concrete but that wasn't what I needed and why I adapted them for my purpose which they did their job just fine. As for the roof the fasteners are supposed to be in the valley according to the manufacturer.
Hey just wanted to let you know that this is a great help. I had a question around the concrete post anchor you used. So it is bolted to joist below? Aren't the joists too thin for it? Or the anchor is tied to the boards alone? Does it provide enough structural strength? Is it per building code? Asking because this is exactly what I needed for my build as well. Thank you so much!!
You screwed 24 1 1/2 screws to hold that whole structure up ?… sorry mate but that needed to be bolted down … that wouldn’t pass inspection where I live
Good thing it's not getting inspected there not to stop it from moving the rebar goes into the deck the screws were just to hold it in place while it was being built there's no way it's going to get picked up this thing weighs a lot
Can you tell me which specific screws you used for the corrugated panels, how much you overlapped the pieces and the overhang you had? Extremely specific, I know but I’m about to finish off the project and would love to know.
Hi Nic, I love your creativity on this! 😍🥰Can you please tell me where you got the black concrete anchors? I found some similar but they don't have the holes for the screws. I would really like them so I can attempt to create this on my own.🤞I will be forever grateful. Oh, Also, I would like to know how it is holding up after a year. Thank you! 😁
I guess that roof really doesn’t handle snow that well , if at all . Also anchoring into 2 x 6 deck boards is not going to last that long , maybe 4/5 years and then your entire structure will be ruined .
The angle is very slight I think only about 4 to 6 inches lower on one end if I remember. it is enough for water to runoff but not snow or anything else
Eventually it would all rot. It's wood. It is a 6x6 he used though. You would just replace the rotted wood. I don't know what the construction method of the platform deck is, underneath, but there are methods of constructing that minimize the ability for water to collect. Assuming that is the case, there really shouldn't be much worry.
You're absolutely right. The length of the fitting affects the stability of the post. It's there for a reason... stability.... And ... nevermind... Cute though. It's a start. And it definitely shows how simple that construction is. I love that the young man is doing it. Good lesson in regards to what One is capable of.
The roof screws really should be in the peaks and not the troughs of the corrugations Also, those anchors. I'm not sure they are holding the posts enough to keep this much wood up safely....
I think it will be just fine it is stained so water shouldn’t soak into it at all and as it isn’t buried in the ground or in contact with the ground there shouldn’t be any reason for water to be soaked in
With all due respect to the creator of this video... I believe the base plates (with the rebar posts) are designed to go into concrete footings... NOT into deckboards. I'm planning a similar project for 2023 and have watched almost every YT video available on pergolas and pavilians-- all have concrete footings.
Not only that, but having the weight bare on a joist isn't sufficient. The post needs to either be on a girder/beam or on top of a post down to the footing.
Great video I am inspired to get one done a project for my husband, is there a list of the material that we your audience could use or fellow please we would be so grateful if you could do one thanks again your video is inspiring 🤗💝

Very nice pergola and helpful video, thank you! Your lifeguard tower also caught my eye - would you have a video on that build by chance?
Nice project! Gave me new idea...
greetings from Mexico.
Great work I'm definitely going to attempt this!!

It looks good. I like the roofing material that you used.
Liked your video I'll try to do the same in the spring. Thank you!

Really good work! Is also nice to have all the right tools!! Stay safe and keep having fun!! ...
thanks for sure
que bello buen trabajo y es un nene wao asi es desde chiquito aprende
Roof is flat , no issues with water /rain not running off .. I would think a slight lean/slant would help run off rain . Nice work
It is slanted, so there are no issues
What is the stain color and brand you used? I like it.
Hey thanks for telling the screw sizes. Ppl usually leave that out
You’re going to have to reposition your CCTV camera.
Decent work, it’s all a learning curve. 👏🏼
Good job 👍
What was the total cost for something like this? Looks great 👍
Anyway we can get a full part list that you had to buy?

This is in Canada? Curious how the flat roof will hold up to a heavy snow load.
Yes Canada It's held 2 feet of wet heavy no problem for the last few years
AWESOME JOB! CONGRATS
Why cut the rebar ?
You screwed 24 1 1/2 screws to hold that whole structure up ?… sorry mate but that needed to be bolted down … that wouldn’t pass inspection where I live

Did you use 2x8s for corner braces

It's going on two years old just fine. the black anchors came from Lowe's
great work
Great job! What size of the post bases did you use? Thanks for sharing your project.
Thank you, I literally followed the way you did it
Is that interior pine for an exterior project?
Good looking gazebo👌...does it have any inclination or the roof is all level ?
I mentioned the exact angle some point in the video I think it’s about 1 to 3° slope
I guess that roof really doesn’t handle snow that well , if at all . Also anchoring into 2 x 6 deck boards is not going to last that long , maybe 4/5 years and then your entire structure will be ruined .
nice watchtower bro and beautiful proyect
So is one side lower to able to ran off rain and leafs/ dirt etc? If is , than did you cut every 2x10's ends in angle?
The angle is very slight I think only about 4 to 6 inches lower on one end if I remember. it is enough for water to runoff but not snow or anything else
Great job it looks good keep up the work what other things are u planning on building next or working up next
I’m thinking of something similar on my deck. Isn’t that a lot of weight to be supported by the deck only?
It’s not all that heavy and it’s over the concrete footings anyways so it’s not putting much load on the deck that’s not supported directly underneath
When working, always wear a safety glasses. Be smart my friend.
Wow looks great! Nice job.
Thanks
Great job!
Isn't that footing super risky? I am not a contractor but what would happen it that 2x4 u put hole to hold 4x4 black anchors rots?
Eventually it would all rot. It's wood. It is a 6x6 he used though. You would just replace the rotted wood.

This is great for a non-snow climate. That roof would not hold up a few feet of snow that we get up here in the Northeast.
It's been just fine here in Canada with a couple feet of wet snow for a few years
@@nics-systems-electricMy bad bro. I stand corrected. That's awesome!
@@SteveSirica no problem I haven't had much more than 2 feet on it but it was fine with that
Sorry If I missed it but what is your dems for this? 10x12? 12x12?
Good video of what not do
The project turned out well and is still great after years👍
Please do not use these anchors to hold a structure like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is not recommended. You are not a carpenter!!!
Why not they are fine no different than what you use for a deck
Is it still standing? Your deck is completely supporting your pergola. Good luck.
What’s wrong with those anchors? If they aren’t good enough then the business that built my neighbors gazebo must’ve f💩cked something up
There's no way an inspector would pass his project . It is not built correctly.
Calm down its not going anywhere
The roof screws really should be in the peaks and not the troughs of the corrugations
Also, those anchors. I'm not sure they are holding the posts enough to keep this much wood up safely....
That's incorrect the screws are not supposed to go through the peak of the rib
So does it snow where you live?? And if so are you worried about the flat roof holding the weight???
It does snow. there has been no problem with the roof taking about 18 inches of heavy wet snow
Hi there! How would the roof hold up in the winter with the snow?
No problems so far
the foam pieces are for the ends to seal it from insects
Hi! Where were the plastic roof panels purchased? Thanks!
Lowe’s
Except 6x6, all other lumber was not pressure treated, do you think it will last? I am planning to build something similar and cost is a constraint.
I think it will be just fine it is stained so water shouldn’t soak into it at all and as it isn’t buried in the ground or in contact with the ground there shouldn’t be any reason for water to be soaked in
Would those post stands still work on a lifted deck ? I wanted to do something like this but don't want to run 16ft 6x6

Get a horses put the saw in the table work like gentlemen
No slope???
Yes slope it's shown and talked about in the video
@@nics-systems-electric thank you, found it! One more question, do you think your roofing can stand against heavy snow as well?
@@miganga77 it's been fine with 18 inches of heavy wet snow for the last couple years
Are u gonna put fire alarms there
no the fire would probably set it off
Probably should invest in some carpentry books
I'm in a different trade but what would you recommend?
nic;s
This makes me wanna build one for my backyard. Nice work!
Dude, that is not Florida code that shit gonna blow away man
Our wind typically doesn't get more than 160 to 180 km/h it's so heavy it's not going anywhere its been through a few storms no problem

These pergolas are unfortunately getting banned in many cities because of complaints.
Interesting I’ve Never heard of anything like that where I am
no one wears gloves or eye protection anymore...?
not bad for autsim awreness monthj
I will try to do it with WoodPrix plans.
