- We had to battle some inclement weather to get the Oak frame into place, but up it went, along with a lot of drilling, dowels, routing and a hand cut roof structure..... without using any maths... works for us!

Interesting enjoyable watch, well done Mr B.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Simon, I have to say… you are excellent at explaining things and a master in your craft.. well done mate 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliantly explained 👌
Thank you
S@simonbowler1 I watched your video again today. I see you how you marked out your rafter with the timber right angle gig on the ground. That's exactly how I was taught by a carpenter a while back now 😂. It's fool proof and exact. 👌. All the videos I see on roofing is maths and stepping off from a square. Your the first I see doing it the way I do it. Also I'm in the process of building a 6 sided hexagon gazebo myself. I was wondering how high I'd put my wall plate so to cut my 150mm square posts. I decided on 2.1 meters. I see that's what you did. So I'm OK with my height. Brilliant video. Keep them coming. Top class work Simon 👏
So easy to understand what you are doing Simon👍Great work and looks amazing😎Cheers Del
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for sharing. It must take a lot of time to film and edit. At least you don't have to spend ages doing your hair. It's an absolute pleasure to watch the skill and craftsmanship being applied to take a pile of timber and create something so solid, yet beautiful.
Thanks. I enjoy making the content👍🏻
Excellent video, you simplified this job so well, your explanation on it each job was very good, iv just learnt a hell of a lot in 18 mins 👍🏻 😊
Thanks, delighted you were able to take something away from it 👍🏻
Man, I already loved Instagram videos. Now I can't wait to see what happens next on TH-cam . A good teacher! Really well explained!
Great explanation on setting the frame on the stones, very interesting stuff. Looking forward to the next episode as always 👍
Thanks 👍🏻
Excellent way to lay out the common rafters - great tip 👏👏👏
Glad it was helpful!
Great explanation Simon,top job as always 👍🏼
Thanks, glad it made sense 👍🏻
Hey man, thanks for the video, you gave me a good idea how to do the rafters, I’m not a carpenter or expert, I just do my own work for my house and was having difficult to cut the rafters. Thanks again.
Bloody love these vids, thank you Simon!
Thanks, i enjoy making them 👍🏻
Absolute perfection, well done. 👏👏👏
Thanks, I do my best 👍🏻
Thanks Simon my wife now wants one at the bottom of the garden in time for summer. 😂
Brilliant….. when do we start? 😁
This is absolute Gold. Thanks for sharing 👍
You’re welcome 👊🏻
Great update 👍🏼 enjoyed it 😁
Thanks 👍🏻
Great video Simon. I might be missing something obvious. Love the idea of the jig but can you explain why the rafter does not sit at the top of the ridge board. Thanks
Absolutely brilliant videos, really really informative and interesting content keep up the great work guys 👌
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Brilliant job 👏 👍
Thanks
Another great video. 😊
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
First class. Think I much prefer these to the shorter insta and tik tok ones.
Cheers. Yes, long format means you get more of me on your tele! 👌🏼😂
Now I’m never going to attempt to build something like this but I think this video would give me the confidence to give it a go. Easy to understand and NO MATHS. 👍🏽
Also strangely relaxing to watch or is that just me. 🤷🏻
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Stunning that like 😍
Thanks 😁👍🏻
Another great video 👏🏻
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
How do you start the roof assembly off, i.e get the ridge board setup and located in position?
We faster 2 rafters to the ridge, one bold it in the air whilst the rafters aren’t fixed to the wall plate, then no round and fix reel more rafters on the other side so it stays up 👍🏻
Oh my goodness I wish that you had posted this two years ago. I could have done with a couple of these tips when building mine. Great shame you didn’t manage to film the lift as that was a very big challenge for me and really quite hairy. And needed a lot of friends!
Do you get issues with damp on your green oak? Mine are sat on a metal plate and off the floor so no water but the splitting is concerning me a little and I am planning to get a steel collar fabricated just to keep the wood honest. Would you mind if I DMed you (however one does that)?
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 👍🏻
Hi Simon, how do you fix the staddle stone down? And how do you then fix the post to the staddle stone pin? I’m never sure whether they are just held through gravity or some magic glue!😂 PS your videos are brilliant!
We have a steel strap fabricated that bolts the post down to the footing beneath the patio 👍🏻
What was the model genie lift you used? By the way this is by far the best set of videos I’ve come across that explain your process and the results speak for themselves
Thank you. We mostly use the SLA10 or SLA20 depending on the situation
Simon can you please tell me the height of this gazebo? Between slab to post end? Is this 8 feet or lower?
Floor to underside of wall plate is about 2.1 m
You mean under side of the beam?
Brilliant and simple way of setting out a roof.👍🏻 How do you work out the size of the birds mouth on the wall plate is it 1/3 of the size of the plate .?
1/3 the depth of the rafter 👍🏻
Excellent job. Thank you for sharing. May i ask the specifics of the grove on the wall plate please. I.e width and depth and is that on the inside edge? I want to put in some regular lights but these for low level ambiance sounds a good idea.
The groove is to suit led strip lighting 👍🏻
Hi. How are the rafters fixed to the frame and ridge please.
When putting the wooden dowels in the corners posts to fix the knee braces do you only drill to the tenon and not all the way through the post?
Correct, we make sure it goes through the tenon and into the post, but not all the way through
Amazing work - what wood is used for rafters? Does it need to be graded c24??
We use c24 yes 👍🏻
Absolutely captivated Simon, great work! I'm just about to embark on a 3x4 English oak, single span with hip roof. This has given me a serious kick in the right direction. One question, what size are the frame timbers in this video? Thanks, Tim
8x8 Oak frame, 7x2 hips and 5x2 commons 👍🏻
@@simonbowler1 thank you🙌
Can I ask your opinion on the single span? Theoretically will I be ok with a 7x7 across 4 metres
@@Mr1animal11 more than likely, if you’re unsure, check with a structural engineer
How do you put that first hip on, or get the ridge up? Do need like 10 pairs of hands?
Two of us manage it, ridges and for rafters hold up in their own, bit of a juggling act but we manage 👍🏻
How are the stones secured to the patio?
Where do the granit saddle stones come from
From a supplier here in the UK, there are a few companies that will show up on google.
Where did you get the rear handle makita saw? Is it 110 or 240v?
I brought it over from the states….. run it on a 110v transformer…. Not strictly speaking the right thing to do…. But i love it!
@@simonbowler1 No wonder i cant find one. Rear handled 110v, would be perfect for me.
How long does one of your gazebos typically take? 👍
If we weren’t filming, probably a couple of weeks start to finish. Filming adds a bit of time 👍🏻
9:53 If it works.. it works!!!!😅
It works 👍🏻
good bye roofing squares !!
They’re a great tool…… this method works for us 👍🏻
🤌🤌🤌
Cheers old chap 👍🏻
