Very helpful video. We are building our 10x 16 (6x6) today and I just wanted to tell you that I’ve shared your video in advance to my friends who will come and give me a hand on this so they know what to expect.
Love this! I wish there was a 6x6 option when I bought mine last year! That looks really good.
I could see that turning into a greenhouse 😁🤙🤙🤙🤙❤️
This system definitely wasn’t designed with humid conditions in mind…here I am trying to install in the middle of the North Carolina summer. Rains every other day and when it doesn’t it’s 80% humid or worse…after letting my wood sit for over a month it still is way too fat to fit in the system lol
Thank u
What to do if the wood doesn’t fit into the three way connector? I have to use at least the four post and they don’t seem to dig all the way in. Any solutions would be appreciated!
Try sanding them down
I planed the wood using a hand planer
Nice video on how to put together a TOJA Grid pergola.. I got my kit for a 10x16 last week and want to start my work over the long weekend.. I had a few questions regarding the concrete slab and the post lengths.
1. My concrete slab has a slight slope to allow for easy water runoff, do you recommend cutting the posts to the correct length beforehand?
2. What kind of Post Anchors did you use?
No - I left my posts the length they came. I used the Redhead Anchors 3/8" x 4" see this link: www.itwredhead.com/products/expansion-anchors/trubolt
you can find them at Lowe's & Home Depot
@@HuntAndFishExchange : Sure appreciate your response on this.. I'll check the link out..
How big is it? Answer: Hello, Our Toja Grid Kits can be built to any size you would need, The recommended wood span for our 4x4 brackets is 12 feet and for our 6x6 brackets is 16 feet. Anything bigger would require our Quad and our Quint Bracket to expand the Pergola to your needs.
What wood did you select? The Cedar 6x6x8 ft are expensive around here Where did you buy from the lumberyard or the Lowes?
I purchased the lumber at a local lumberyard called Burton lumber in Utah
Looks great! Can you tell me how sturdy it is? I have only seen one built with 4x4's in a home building store and it was very shaky.
This is super sturdy. I have installed a swing in it for my grand son & it’s perfectly fine. Mine is built with 6”x6”’s
@@HuntAndFishExchange Thanks! I appreciate the reply! Gives me confidence my own build will meet my expectations.
Are all the posts same lenght?
I was curious how the water will drain from the roof if they are all same size?
This is a 10 x 16 pergola so three of the beams that run the width of the Pergola are 10 feet in length, all of the rest of the beams and legs are 8 feet in length.
A 6 x 6“ beam is 5 1/2 inches wide so it doesn’t hold a lot of water/snow.
In the winter when it snows, I take the fabric shade roof off during that time of year
Thank u:)
How tall did you make the pergola? Any tips in assembling? I’ll be putting a 12x16 up soon!
These are 8 feet tall. We did not cut any lumber
Hi there. Pergola looks great. I realize you answered this same question below, but I wanted to absolutely confirm before I commit to buying 6x6 kit. Is the thing stable or does it wiggle? Or is it rock solid? I've seen 4x4 versions wiggle/wobble quite a bit. Thank you for your thoughts.
No - wiggle and mine is rock solid. It’s anchored to the cement pad
If in the future you decide to put some kind of roofing for rain and sun protection, would this be possible?
Yes - I purchased the shade sales with my kit. You can purchase them here:

Buenas, quiero hacer los angulos para vigas de 4x4 , que medidas tienen los angulos de fierro
How much was it for the 10x6 with the wood? I live on corner lot my yard sits high so people can see inside my yard. I wanna put a pergola close to fence for privacy. Can I add planks along on the sides for more privacy?
Looks great, about to do a 6x6 12x16 on my patio... What did you use to anchor the bases to the patio? Wedge anchors, sleeve anchors, tapcons? Thanks
I use the red head anchors 4“ X 3/8”
www.itwredhead.com/products/expansion-anchors/trubolt
@@HuntAndFishExchange ok thanks, was debating between those and the Tapcon Plus heavy duty 3/8 by either 3 or 4 inch... Both seem like they'd work fine, but if I get close to my patio edge the tapcons might be safer..
Did you use Doug fir? Did you seal or stain?
What wood did you use? Looks like cedar.
It was just regular 6 x 6. Lumber. I Think it’s pine or spruce? I’m not sure but I stained these before we installed them. That’s why they look a bit darker red. It’s not cedar.
@@HuntAndFishExchange They look great.
How many people were needed to hold everything up while putting on the last vertical posts? Our 10x12 is half assembled on our deck and I'm trying to see how many people I need to get pizza and beer for in order to get the job done. Thanks!
Four people should be enough. If you’re using 4 x 4 post it will be much easier. The 6 x 6 posts were much heavier
@@HuntAndFishExchange Thanks! We used 6x6 so it is indeed heavy!
Looks amazing. Any ideas for a canopy? I find the toja one way to expensive
Toja Grid - was actually the cheapest one I could find
Most of the 6×6 wood post doesnt into the Toja Grid brackets, what did u fo to make it fit? How did u make it fit? What tool did u use? Thank you
I actually didn't do anything to the 6 x 6's to make them fit. They all fit fine exactly the way they came from the Lumberyard
Did you stain your wood, or is that how it came?
I stained and water sealed it with a Thompson's water sealing stain.
Could you share what wood did you use? and did you stain? It looks great and want to go to the same route
Most beams are 6”x6”x8’ and three cross beams are 6”x6”x10’. I stained the beams with Thompson water sealing stain.
When you push on a vertical beam does it sway to a side at all?
No - the 6”x6”’s are pretty solid. I have attached a small swing on it that my grandson swings from.
What color stain did you use or is it just a clear coat of the Thompson Water Seal? Thanks.
I don’t remember the color name, but it is a Thompson water seal colored stain.
Very helpful video, thanks! Question on the redhead anchors in which I am also looking at as well....the 6x6 posts have the pre-drilled holes on the base brackets 1/2 wide so I was wondering why you went with the 3/8 instead of the 1/2 anchors? I tested with both sized anchors and seems the 1/2 will go through if you hammer it lightly through the pre-drill hole on the base, just not sure if that's ideal, whereas the 3/8 fits easily. Thanks.
That is why I went with the 3/8 size. Because the 1/2” seemed to big for the holes.
Hey, I know this is an old video, but question! how deep is your concrete patio? I've been mulling one of these over but I only have a 4 inch thick patio, which seems a bit light. How deep is yours?
my slab is 4" deep but I made footings 3 feet deep and only 2'x2' where the posts sit. ( I live in a climate that has snow for multiple months of the year.)
what options are there for securing them to the ground
Are used red head anchors
www.itwredhead.com/products/expansion-anchors/trubolt
I notice there is a rafter option on their site and wondering if you can also have the shade below or above the rafters.
do you mean on ther side?
we put our shades inside the rafters. it looks cleaner
How thick was this slab? How has it held up to wind ?
If you're talking about the cement slab, it is about 4inches thick, however I have a 34 inch footing that was pre-poured under each post when I originally laid the concrete.
I live in Utah and needed it to reach past the frost line.
Awesome... but Even in doubletime the guy with them black pants and white hat seems to be standing around a lot
Tall Toot - Son in-law. But there wasn’t a lot he could do
He did a lot .
This video is super helpful! Question... did you have to wait for your lumber to dry before it would fit into the Toga? I am having trouble with that. I know the wood will shrink but am not sure how long that will take.
I really didn't have a problem with my lumber fitting into the system. But I live in Utah and it is very dry here.
I suggest you let it dry out if you are having issues fitting. The only prep we did was sand off all of the black ink that was stamped on the beams and then stained the beams before the install.
I want to get this system but as a 10' x 14' . Do you think four posts is enogh to hold the weight? Also how long total did it take to actually build it? It's been a year now, how has it held up?
I think 14 feet is too long of a span to have without another post supporting it. Especially if you are using 6"x6" post like I did. They are pretty heavy.
It is holding up very well, I just need to re-coat come of the top beams again with Thompsons water seal/stain
nice what kind of lumber did you use and what was the rough cost?
Dennis Diaz - are used a 6 x 6 lumber by 8 feet tall for most of the beams and four 6 x 6 x 10‘.. Lumber cost was around $500 if I remember correctly
Looking awesome. Just purchased our brackets. What kind of wood did you use? Not post size. I looked up 6x6 cedar posts and they are super expensive !!!!!!!!
How tall were your lumber post and Top Beams?
The legs and side upper crossbeams are 8 feet in length. Three of the crossbars are 10 feet in length. That gives me the 16 x 10‘ pergola
Is your lumber Cedar or Doug Fir?
I think its Doug Fir that's been stained, It doesn't have the ceder or redwood look
Did u guys ,screw down into concrete
yes we did - I used Read Head 3/8 inch concrete anchors
Where can I order the bracket??????

It was a couple of years ago, but I think this was about $2500 for everything. I know that TojaGrid sells some side shade panels that are similar to the top shade panels.
