I love it. I want to make a 2 story Gazebo/Pergola like that one to have friends visit with their teen kids... so they could hang out in the bottom part and the grown ups at the 2nd floor or viceversa. this idea of yours is perfect for that project.
Thanks. Definitely not the most practical method for a large structure like this but if you're gonna grind a weld down for a seamless look you definitely want it to be TIG.
TIG is the method of choice when it comes to ornamental ironwork. You get deep penetration and a low profile weld bead. Makes it easier to grind down and ensures that the joint will be still be strong after you've ground down half the weld bead.
Holy crap that's way over engineered. Is that 1/4 or 3/8" tubing? 16g would been more then enough for a non snow load lean-to roof. I built a cantilever version of what you did with two support legs on an 8x12' slant 3/12 roof over my outdoor kitchen in Minnesota... It's survived 3 winters and 2 summers already, along with a 30ft oak tree branch that had to of been close to 1000 lbs (8"dia at one end) that fell against the roof in winter when their was already 8" of wet snow and ice on the roof. I used 1/4" 3x3" square tubing for the cantilever and roof support and like you a 1/8" web for the roof metal frame. I've had
very nice tig skills ... i always opt for stick on structural elements like the feet ... not out of laziness, but out of fear that the penetration may just be insufficient with the tig ... is my thinking wrong on this ?
Nice video buddy! I have a few questions, would appreciate if you can help me out. 1.-What is the roof made of? Is that the same roof that third world countries use to roof their houses? Is it galvanized stainless steel? 2.-How resistant is it over time in the presence of all-year sun and sporadic rains? 3.-What metal gauge do you recommend if I´m going to use it in my patio for my home gym? The area I´ll cover will be 49 squared feet Thanks in advance!
Why would you assume my political position!? Jk - the video must be mirrored because I'm actually a righty. I haven't kept up with steel prices but I bought all of the material in May of 2021 and steel was at an all-time high. For all of the tubing it was $1000 and then an additional $300 for the sheet metal roofing. Powder coating was $750 (ouch) but it's super durable (double coated actually, first with a zinc primer and then with the oil bronze color) and it saved me the hassle of painting it myself (I hate painting).
Amazing work. How many hours would you guess that took you to make? And what would you guess was the heaviest piece? (guessing you need at least 2 people to put it together, but was each piece that you were working with under 100 lbs?)
Thank you! I'd say 100 hours - there was a bit of trial and error and plenty of time spent brainstorming. If I made it again and just hustled through it, I bet I could do it in 40 hours
Skills, experience, and tools make this look far too easy. What was the material cost? I am about to make a 24 x 16 of one like this, but for my cars. :)
Thanks! There are a bunch of different places in OC/LA area that have racks and ovens big enough. Each piece of the frame was powder coated separately so they really didn't take up that much space in the oven. I got this done at A & I Powder Coating in Fullerton, CA
This is way over kill for such a small install. 76x38x1.6mm Galvtube with PT clips is all you need for domestic jobs. Space the ''battons'' to suit your sheeting specs, usually 900mm to 1200mm depending on profile being used. In Oz that welded job would be cyclone rated!!
Cyclone-rated is what I was going for haha. I wanted to make it "future proof" and part of that includes potentially disassembling it and hauling it to a different part of the United States where there might be high winds or other inclement weather.
You should be mass producing these and selling them to the big box stores, nicely done.
Holy smokes that’s the best pergola I’ve ever seen. Such a professional job. Well done.
Thank you very much!
I love it.

That sounds awesome! Make sure all 4 corners have strong gussets to prevent torsion.
I cant say i agree with tig welding it.. but overall nice work.

Overbuilt to the moon! I love it.
Great job, a very clean design. Thanks for sharing.
I think that's the first time I've seen someone grind down TIG welds.

Very sweet! I wish I had such talent.
Reminds me when I’m doing something, I’m working and someone in the pool. Lol
thanks for the process.

Impressive! None of the tubes I used are thicker than 1/8" but yes, I know its over-engineered.. It's in my nature lol.
great job

Thanks - you generally have very good penetration with TIG as long as the amperage is high enough for the material thickness.

Very nice build, from a fellow lefty! Any chance you could share the material cost?

@@grippimatt whoa! 750 for powder coat! It came out awesome though. Thanks for replying so fast. Apologies for lefty confusion lol.
@@andrewvillaneda7291 No problem. And that was the cheapest price I could find to get it powder coated. Expensive for such large pieces.
Outstanding!!! What state do you build Gazebos in about gazebos in Arizona mom is looking to talk. 😌
Thank you! Currently in Orange County, California but we may be able to work something out. Send me an email if you're interested: grippimatt@aol.com
very nice
This guys good 👍🏾
Very nice❤😊

You could put it together with just two people but it's a bit tricky. The U- shaped section with the gussets weighs the most. Probably 120 pounds.
@@grippimatt Thanks for the reply! Those numbers make sense given how experienced you are.
Skills, experience, and tools make this look far too easy.
What was the material cost?
I am about to make a 24 x 16 of one like this, but for my cars. :)
I'd like to make a car port just like that one day! Material cost was $1000 for all of the tubing and another $300 for the sheet metal roofing
Love the work bud ! Stupid question, where would have powder coated such large structures ? Any chance of sharing that information?
Thanks! There are a bunch of different places in OC/LA area that have racks and ovens big enough. Each piece of the frame was powder coated separately so they really didn't take up that much space in the oven. I got this done at A & I Powder Coating in Fullerton, CA
@@grippimatt thanks for the info , do some more welding videos , your work is very clean !
How much in total it cost?
can you build one 12 x 15, what would be looking at in price
Hi, if you're interested send me an email at Bronzeagewelding@gmail.com and I can give you an estimate
Ugly design man. Good video lol
What were the dimensions and wall thickness of the legs for the square tubing?
3.5" Square tubing x .120" wall thickness
5:37 whats the reason for that gusset being so out of wack? Why is it flush on the outside at the top and flush on the inside at the bottom?
The gussets are perpendicular to the slope of the roof so that the two connecting tubes sit flush against the two separate "roof frames"
I was going to ask the same question about the guy said.

Cost?
What kind of steel did you use for frame?
~Mild steel~ AKA ~low carbon steel~
You should put a gutter on it
Are those fixture things at 4:37 from Genuine Metal?
Yes! The best welding squares ever. Genuine Metal Works Speed Squares
@@grippimatt Awesome, I'm going to get some. Haven't been able to use my welder because I can't get the right 220V breaker :(
Can confirm. I’ve got several of his squares and they work very well.
