The nice Part about this is that your backyard is the most common. So it makes it very easy for people to envision how these items would look in anyones yard. Best thing about it , is how simple you kept this video. Thank you so much and awesome good ❤💪🏽

Recent years have seen a rise in people following the trend of sealing the post ends that are concreted into the ground. This is effectively a plastic bag around the bottom causing water to stay there and rot the wood. Better to have pebbles/similar directly underneath with concrete around and seal painted along the sides below ground. This allows water that's got into the wood to drain down through it and away through the pebbles. Even better is to float the posts an inch or two off the ground, using proprietary holders or Allthread with washers and nuts (which also allows finite adjustment whenever). Grind each end to a point and predrill the posts.

Stunning!! I would love one

One of the best descriptions ive seen n I've watched a lot

Excellent job.

Fantastic 👍I'm thinking of doing this in the summer

You are amazing!

This is so good!!! You’ve inspired me!!!

Looks amazing want to this in my garden to create some privacy and shade not sure if I can do this but I might give it a go instead of spending 100s buying one and having someone install it. Great job guys looks amazing x

Ace job 🙌🏻

Absolutely love how you have designed and built this, well done 👍🏾. I definitely will be building one of these this summer with the added poly roof. Thank you for your inspiration and easy to follow description. Bless. X

You did fabulous and have renewed my confidence that I can do it . Well done . I hope the pregnancy went smoothly and you and baby are well . Thank you for the simplicity and easy to follow instructions ❤️💯👏💪🥰

I’d like to do this thanks for the tips

Omg this is amazingly beautiful As you inspired me I’ll try to do one for myself 🙈

Great job. Much cheaper than the pre cut kits and probably better quality timber as well.

You could have also placed the posts into metal holders and bolted them into your patio...could you not? I'm doing something very similar hence the questions!

Was just talking to my Missus about this, thanks for this!

Great video, so good to have such a good breakdown! We'll be trying to do the same in your house, do you remember how far apart you did the wooden slats? and any idea what size the slats were? thanks so much!

I was decorating at 8 and half months pregnant. So the title speak volumes❤

Looks amazing! I'm going to try and make a hot tub enclosure and using your tutorial for reference. My first real DIY project, eek! How do you avoid the screws from the front piece meeting ones from the side? Thanks!

Just do the left screw at the bottom and the right screw at the top (as in my diagram) on both connecting pieces and they shouldn’t touch x

Nice one Jasmine! You should come round the corner and help us with our garden 😜😂

Planning on building one myself, but does it block the light much? We don't have French windows.

What not put some clear perspex on top for rain cover

Hey, do you mind me asking what the paint you used is called, please?

Great job , quick question what size timber did you use, posts look like 4 inches, what were the outer one's thanks

Yep the posts were 4x4 and the joists were 6x2 c16 x

Thanks! Are the rafters strong enough? I just purchased plenty of 4x2 for the rafter which I think would be heavy. How many screws went on to the wall? I just downloaded this vid. Thanks

They’re strong enough for decorative purposes, or to secure a poly roof, but if you want to hang anything like a swing chair or anything, thicker timber, used on its thin side will be better! I think I spaced the screws every 30cm so maybe 8??

Great video! I’ve been thinking of doing a similar thing in my garden but the back of the gazebo would go against the fence on one of the side boundaries. I emailed the council and they seemed okay but one of the rules at the beginning of your video suggest otherwise. Where did you find the guidance? TIA

Hey, do you share the boundary with your neighbour? If your council are okay with it, you should be fine to proceed! If you’re building against your neighbours boundary, it’s customary to inform them of your plans as the structure may cast shadows on their garden/restrict view etc x

Hi, just saw you on the sun! Well done and I’ll be trying this myself. Thank you!

Thank you! Do let me know how it goes!!

Is that David Wilson Ashurst ?

The 1x2 rafter across the middle...is that sitting on top of the middle 4x2 as it's not clear. If so, the other rafters going down would be going over that hence there would be a bend. Would you please explain where that middle rafter is in relation to the middle 4x2. Thank you. Great job!

Thank you! I've looked at so many but you are the one I'm going to follow! Keep it up :)

Really interesting! Just slow your camera work down a little as it was a little quick to follow

I wonder if you could have got away with not putting the 4x2 on the roof in the middle as well as the two 2x1's. Or would that lose strength with the plastic roof?

@_OhAbode

25 күн бұрын

The 6x2 was def needed as it helped with the overall structure. Ideally for this width, I should have added a third post at the front. The 2x1s alone wouldn’t have been strong enough

Hi I am looking to pretty much copy your design but I am struggling to find all the timber I need from one place, where was it you brought all your timber from?
